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.

Fun course

Unbelievable views from most holes, challenging course, plan to lose some balls, but if you take 30 seconds to look for your ball you may not find yours but will find others. Love this course

First Time Playing

Absolutely beautiful course with challenging fairways and greens. Awful pace of play. Tried mentioning it to the pro shop, but they didn’t do anything. We played this Thursday morning. 12:10 tee time and we we caught all of the morning groups in an hour and 6 holes. After that the pace was around 3/4 holes per hour. Needs someone keeping tabs on pace of play. Thankfully it is gorgeous scenery while you wait for hours.

Fun course with great views

We had a great time playing this course. The elevation changes are fun and make you think twice in club selection. The course is good for golfers of all ages and abilities. We will be back.

Best value in the twin cities!

St. Croix national really is comparable to a courses that charge $100 more that this course. Every year it seems to be in better shape than the last and the greens are fast and hold well. Course let’s you hit driver most of the time which I like but has a few holes that make you strategize more as well. My go to course with a bullet!

Great course as always. Beautiful weather helps too. Would be 5 stars but for the change to a cashless clubhouse.

Great Course

Loved this course. Being the first time I played it, it was pretty difficult. There are lots of blind shots and you really have no idea where to hit some tee shots without driving up to the fairway first.
