Worth the trip

Used GolfNow to get a sweet deal. Course was nicely groomed. Lots of water on the right and left side of the fairways so lost a few balls. Also, tough getting up and over a couple trees that sat right in the middle of the fairway. Most greens fairly turttlebacked, but I made due.

Fun to play

Very fair and friendly course to play. Each hole is tree lined and framed nicely. Greens are very small and challenging and in beautiful condition. It's a treat to play for all skill levels.

Fun and Enjoyable Course

Elk River is one of my personal favorites in the NW metro. Fun course that tests all aspects of your game.

The course is struggling in certain areas with all the rain we've had this season - so beware of that. This was especially noticeable on the front side.

Excellent Facility-Course reflects weather conditions.

Elk River as an excellent banquet and overall structural facility. The golf course has an interesting layout with some challenging holes. The only negative is that a number of fairways are quite spongy, especially with the recent weather conditions. With that in mind of course is still an excellent value with competitive pricing.

I do not like the greens at all!! They are small and most of them are elevated, (built up on their own little hill).

I do not like the greens at all!! They are small and most of them are elevated, (built up on their own little hill). If you hit the ball 1 yard short of the green, it could roll 20 yards backwards!!

A good day of golf ...

Avoid trouble to score well. Some hazards are easy to get into. Shots to green must be accurate and high or with spin on the ball to hold. Greens putt true and somewhat fast.
