Really appreciate Loggers Trail staying open to the bitter end of the season for us golf nuts! Course in good shape considering it's mid-November. Club house staff, especially head pro, very friendly/approachable. Course is very pleasurable from the white tees for us duffers (12-14 handicaps). See you next season...happy holidays!

Bristol Ridge is my "go to" course. Challenging, well maintained and nice staff. Great value, too. Well worth the 45 minute drive from my place in Minneapolis....and even easier with the recent opening of the new St. Croix River bridge.One minor drawback: pace of play can vary quite a bit but, it's usually not a deal.breaker.

Played the Low Lands....a nice, comfortable course for the mid-handicapper who wants to make a day of it and drive down from The Cities. Nicely maintained with above average, fast greens. After the round I was pleasantly surprised at the number of upscale resturants/bars to choose from on the way back to town. An enjoyable day!

Fantastic late, late season conditions...can't wait to play mid-summertime. Although a bit on the short side, nice shot values and challenging greens. Clubhouse bar is one of the friendliest in the Midwest...great staff and patrons.

I've been a semi-regular (3-4x/season) at The Refuge for several years and my experience has always been positive. The course's relative short length is more than made up for by its scenic layout...it's hard to beat for a wonderful Fall golf experience. (Please note that like most other public-access courses, the late season condition of the greens were at bit too shaggy but, I guess that's par for the course for late-October/early November Minnesota golf). Also, the staff members are first-class folks!

Loggers is consistently a good solid course...nice conditions and solid staff year 'round. Would suggest that if you're even a moderately decent golfer, play from the blues...took a buddy along who never played the course so, we played from the white tees...too short for a 12 handicapper.

Course was in nice shape, good value on Golfnow. But, post-round experience was terrible....poor, indifferent service at the bar. Second time this has happened. Unhappy end to a nice day.

Course in good shape, pleasant staff. Rather easy track and a bit on the short side from the white tees...average-to-good golfers should play from the tips.

Course is not overly long or difficult, but is a nice set-up for your average 10-15 handicapper. Pleasant staff.

The first time I played Deer Run was a very pleasant experience. Everyone from the guy in the shop, to the starter, to the marshal and the cart gal were all extremely friendly and helpful. The course was in very nice shape, too although rather on the short side.

This well maintained course has some of the toughest greens I've ever played! Approach shots must be hit perfectly for any chance at a two-putt. The over all length is rather short, but you'll have your hands full with the flat stick, for sure.

I've been playing Wild Marsh for a number of years and have always had an enjoyable time. The pro shop staff is friendly, the course is in good shape and sets up very nicely to the eye. To be honest, I always book through an on-line, discount service because, in my view, the full-price, regular rates are a bit high...not the best value. I have no problem paying $25-30 and then contributing to the cause at the 19th hole.

Bristol Ridge is a relatively easy drive from the Twin Cities and well worth the trip! Fun layout, usually in good condition with a cordial staff. Good value for the money when booked on GolfNow.
