Worth the Trip

Bulrush is one of the nicest courses you’ll play north of the metro area. Greens run true and have good speed. The rough is not overly penal and there is more than enough fairway to hit to. Very level so it’s easy to walk. I highly recommend it!

Great Course

Bulrush is a fun and challenging course. It is in great shape. The greens are fast and still they are receptive. Great food at the course as well.
Check it out!!

US Open Rough. 2.0 stimpmeter greens.

First of all, the gentleman at the pro shop counter was great. The course, not so great. Needs better signage between greens and tees. The rough was so long that it was really difficult to find a ball. When you did, it wrecks your wrist and hands to get out of it. I know what you’ll say, stay out of the rough. Not so easy when most fairways are 20 yards wide. When you do get on the green, use a 4 iron instead of your putter. I hit a 20 foot putt that went 10 feet and I hit it hard. This course has great potential. It just needs someone to mow the grass now and then.

Best course in Minnesota!

I always enjoy The Refuge. It is literally my favorite course in Minnesota. If it wasn’t that their membership prices only cater to the rich I would be a member there in a heartbeat. The holes are so memorable. There is something for everyone. Thank Goodness for Groupon and GolfNow.com or I could never afford to play there. Pace of play is always slow but that’s ok because the views are wonderful.

This Course Is Better Than Ever!

There was a time when Bulrush was more below water than above it. The new super came in and ..... wow! What a difference! This course stands up to any high buck course that exists in the Twin Cities. The greens are quick and perfect. The fairways are lush and green. If you haven’t tried it lately, get out there and have a go. You won’t be disappointed. I guarantee it.

Good mix of holes

Rum River Hills is a fun golf course. The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s not a long course, but it is very strategic. There are places you just can’t afford to end up in. There are a few forced carries. It was a very fun day.

Doesn't Get Enough Credit

Atikwa is a fine golf course. They don't get the credit they deserve as golf courses go in the Alexandria Lakes area. There are plenty of fine courses around so they probably get a little put on the back burner. The holes are fun, plenty challenging, with a combination of tough holes and risk/reward holes. Would be nice to have a beverage cart on the course on those hot summer days. Every vacation I go to a resort in Alex and every year Atikwa is a must play!

Providence is fun!

This course was a lot of fun. The only drawback is that they could use rangers to keep things moving. A twosome held up a 3some and 2 4somes behind them for no apparent reason other than the gentleman thought he was better than he was and thought he could hit the greens from 280 or better. But the course itself was great and I'd play it again.

Good weather
Used cart

Accuracy is Key

For early in the season the course was in pretty good shape. Lots of standing water, especially on the back nine. Carts on path only. Greens were not fast but average speed and rolled true. Routing of holes although tough to figure out because of where the clubhouse is and where it was originally supposed to be is confusing. A good golf experience nonetheless. K

Something for everyone!

This course has a great combination of links and parkland holes. A set of tees for any skill level. Greens were recently aerified so they were slower but still putted pretty true. A great day and a lot of fun!

Very hilly. Expect uneven lies. Large undulating greens in perfect shape.

Fun golf course. No forced carries. 11 is a neat hole. Course could use much needed rain, but well maintained despite the lack of rain. Greens are fast and in great shape. It was a fun day.
