St. Croix National Golf Course is a championship course that is tucked away amongst rolling, wooded hills. This scenic course is one of western Wisconsin's hidden gems. The undulating landscape covered with mature trees can seem intimidating but the layout was designed with spacious fairways and bailout areas that act as an excellent balance to the more challenging elements. The well conditioned greens putt fast and true, acting as a perfect complement to the beautiful scenery. There are strategically placed bunkers and water hazards coming into play but it is the topography will truly test your accuracy as well as a variety of other skills. St. Croix National G.C. also boasts a driving range perched high above a valley that collects the practice shots. It is the perfect preparation for the challenges of the golf course.

St Croix National

The course layout was spectacular, many holes are just breathtaking from the tee boxes. Felt like I was in the North Woods. With the dramatic elevation changes, almost felt like an AZ mountain course. Greens were in superb condition. Only complaint was a couple tee boxes were uneven but it being late in the year could have been the reason. If I was on vacation and this was the resort course, it would garner just rave reviews. I cannot wait to play course again as familiarity will make it easier. Just an awesome track!!!

Scenic course

First time playing St. Croix National. Staff was very friendly upon arrival. I was able to start before my T time The course was in very good shape when I played. It is a tree lined scenic course with elevated tee boxes providing some great views. Along with the elevated tee boxes there are elevated greens which require some thought on club selection. Greens were in good shape. I would definitely play there again.

Beautiful course

Love everything about this course. The only thing we would Jane liked to see was a beverage cart on the course, or at least for the pop machine at the turn to be working

Phenomenal experience

Best value I’ve ever gotten from GolfNow. Booked this two days in advance and I would have paid double. Incredible course and amenities. I will definitely be coming back when I’m in the St.Paul/ Minneapolis area again.

Top courses in the metro

What a fantastic up north feel 20 minutes away from St.Paul! Tough course but keep it in the fairway and low scores to be had. Great condition.

Beautiful views and very challenging

We had perfect weather, each hole has gorgeous views. Level of difficulty was higher than expected though and great drives weren’t rewarded due to blind drop-off landing spots, so many lost balls. The Grounds restaurant patio was awesome food with friendly staff and outdoor views. And the small pro shop gad high quality items that we had to buy. We’ll be back!

Great and challenging course.

Local course with a lot of elevation. Great for a challenge or to visit the new clubhouse. Food was amazing and the course offers much more than just 18. Looking forward to my next visit.

Disappointed

This was my first time playing the course. For the price, I would expect a starter, a ranger to keep pace of play, or a beverage cart before the 10th hole. Unfortunately non of those things happened. The new clubhouse is beautiful and the course is in decent shape. That said, I will not golf there again anytime soon.

Difficult, yet scenic, course!

I loved and hated the course! It was a beautiful course, well maintained, but the difficulty level was quite difficult for “average” golfers! Bring plenty of balls!!!
