Great course in the Land of Lakes

The course is in great shape this year. Greens roll true and fairways and tee boxes are well watered and maintained. The clubhouse is old but is currently under renovation. The cost of play is a bit high for the area. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to play there.

Fantastic Experience

Visited the Park Rapids area on vacation for the first time. Often times reviews of courses I've never played are misleading and/or disappointing. Not this time . Headwaters was all it proclaimed to be.
From arrival through sign-in I was met by very friendly, professional staff members who recognized I was unfamiliar with the property. Everyone was helpful and genuinely interested in making my round an enjoyable experience .

Course conditions were far above average for a track that sees it's fair share of public play. Greens were firm and fast and pin placements were generally fair. Fairways were closely mown and rough was moderate. Traps were well maintained.
Only concern might be identification of routing (had trouble getting from 6th to 7th, wound up on 9th).
Bottom line.. if you find yourself anywhere near Headwaters Golf Club I urge you to take advantage of what will undoubtedly turn out to be a really fun round.

Excellent shape

I have played many courses in the area in this by far is in the best shape of any courses I have played this year. I’ve played courses in Hawaii that are not in this greatest shape. I applaud the grounds crew and also customer service inside the pro shop great people

Other options

Course was fine but not for the higher greens fee. Other options play just as well, if not better, for less. Worth trying out once but I’ll go back to another favorite instead.

Beautiful course, lots of fun holes.

Headwaters is always a great course. This year it wintered pretty well, but the greens aren't yet back to 100%.The layout has a bunch of special holes, so you'll always have an enjoyable round. Highly recommended. If it was located in the Brainerd area, the price would be close to $100.
