Greens are outstanding

I haveplayed this course many times over the years and it has gone through some challenges over the years, but the current management is spending ton of money to enhance this course. The greens are very good, many of them replaced in the past 2 years....even in the dry conditions this summer, things have been paintained.
New carts, asphalt paths in certain areas replaced, yardage pmarkers all new, outdoor features around the clubhouse are nice. Over-all thi course has moved a level or two higher with all they have done in the past 2 years.
Enjoy....it's fun course.

Wonderful course in beautiful Annandale Minnesota

Very nice course, I specifically like the mature trees and change in elevation. Very well kept. When in Annandale and not on the lake, this is where I play golf. Great food, pro shop and very knowledgeable staff.

Challenging but Fun!

The course is getting lots of upgrades and looks Great. We live an hour away but it's really worth the drive. Lots of hills, trees & water tests your shot making ability. The new look patio with a waterfall is very nice overlooking 18 green.

WP

This is a fun course to play with any level of golfer. It adds a challenging aspect on a few of the holes. It gives the golfers more of an opportunity to play target golf, encouraging you to play smart golf. Brand new carts make it a comfortable 18 if you chose to ride.

Extra charges charged to our credit card-think twice

The owner general manager said he couldn’t see my on line app reservation/payment for my gollf tee time, on June 26, 2021, and He scanned my credit card again at the pro shop, and then charged 92.00 extra for general merchandise!
The way it has been handled is disappointing!
Still working on a reversal of my 92.34 overcharge!
