redtape

The day was perfect. Started around 8:40am. Fairways best shape in years. Rough's cut just the right length so you can still find your ball. Some greens had lots of ball marks but that was from play from prior rainy weather.. All greens held shots and only a couple seemed faster than the rest.
They have cleaned up some area's to make it more playable and added a trap on the on one. Cart paths still rough. What I liked the most was how full the grass was in the fairways. The ball sat up and they were cut to a good length.

The weather was perfect, 10:00am, and this course had just been mowed. The greens were slow but in perfect condition. Then out of no where a tractor pulling a tank of chemicals rolls up onto the tee box and sprays everything while I'm sitting in my cart. The smell was strong and no way for me not to breath it in.
This is the second time in two years this has happened to me with no warning from the clubhouse.
Why isn't this being done early morning in time for it to dry before golfers begin playing?

We started playing this course early this year and have played there about 5-6 times. The fairways, greens, and tee boxes are all in excellent condition. We play the tips to make it challenging for us and have yet to break 82. From Bloomington it is about one hour drive. The course is not heavly played so makes for a relaxing round. There is no GPS and the only yardage markers are the 200, 150 and 100 which are sometimes hard to see or find. I wish all the sprinklers had yardages marked on them. They do not have beverage carts but there is water on the course. There is a nice bar and outside patio area. There is a driving renge and chipping green and putting green, but they definately need some newer balls for the range.

If you love a good putting challenge, then this is it. A friend and myself haven't played for two weeks because of hot weather and holiday, but we were eager to get back to our once a week round. This week we chose New Prague Golf Club. When we got onto the first green our excitement sank. Another golf course that did not disclose that they had just airated the greens. As a consumer I and my friend would both like to have the right to choose whether or not to play a course that is airating their greens. They deceived us, by not informing us of this before we purchased as we expected to be playing a course that was in normal conditions. We may have still played there but we would have been aware of the conditions. This leaves a bad taste in our minds about the course.

Great course and frindly easy going staff. You can play it long or shorter, great fairways, excellent greens, gps and ball washer on carts, carts allowed on most holes. The course is surrounded by woods and nature. We saw a doe and and two fawns running around. Easy to get to from MN.

Best fairways and greens I've played this year. All the staff was very friendly. The front nine is more open, so if it is windy you really have to work for par. Carts allowed on most holes unless they have work going on, this means alot to me and the guys I play with. I love playing this course because it's just a course with no hugh homes surrounding it, it's challenging, and great fairways for the money.
No yardage markers at tee box, no gps, hard to find the 200 & 100 yard markers. Stock up on cold water and beverages before heading out. No water on course, no beverage cart.

Love, Love this course. It's a scenic heaven, no jumbo homes along side fairways, just nature, you and golf. I spend my summer playing different courses throughout Minnesota. This course is very well maintained and in my opinion has some of the best greens. I'm an average player shooting from low to high 80's and this course is so much fun because I can get par's, chances at birdies and eat up my game quickly when I make poor decisions and poor shots. If I could afford it, I would play here alot more.

I rated a great value because this course is big into marketing on several sites including Golf Now, email sign up and others. They run specials often and when you can get their specials it's a great deal. I do not think the course is worth their regular green fee's. I have played this course several times and only once did I encounter slow play, usually everyone keeps up and on this day I played in 3.5 hours, NICE! Maintance should keep ball washers filled with water, and carts can be dirty. The fairways and greens have improved over the years. On this day things were very dry, but it has been dry weather throughtout the Twin Cities. It's an average S. of the river course, with great deals and available tee times.

The greens were just airated with large holes and lots of med. sand not fine. No mention of it online when I booked and nothing said when I checked in. The back tee for hole #4 is poorly designed. On hole #2 I yelled up to a worker sitting in his cart to see if I could hit, he never looked up too busy texting on his phone, in fact I almost hit him with my second shot, he never saw it. On a par 3 I turned around and a guy was urinating in the adjoining fairway. I won't be back here.

A friend told me that the course was on the short side, so we played the tips. The tee boxes were in great condition and level, the fairways varied but most above average, and the greens held the ball well, some fast some medium speed, and they had quite a bit of unduluation which made it challenging. From the tips it played plenty long with lots of dog legs marshes. It's a beautiful course and I look forward to playing this one many times more.
