Really nice links course. Great condition. Have liked the Gill designed courses I've played b/4. Hole 2 is a little different but I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 18. Only thing that wasn't great was bunker sand had not settled and had no "bottom". This will change w/ time I'm sure. This would be a regular stop for me if I were not an hour and a half away

Cant say anything bad about this course but it is somewhat unmemorable. I don't know if its the lack of larger trees and visual structure or the somewhat constant presence of homes very nearby . Having said that, there are a # of interesting holes w/ good risk reward. Very friendly staff and good condition especially for late season.

Good course. Great condition except no sand in bunkers, basically dirt and rocks. Looking at yardage and slope I was expecting a fairly easy course. Much was fairly tame but 3 par 4's over 400 yds and 3 par 3's 200+ yds along w/ some forced carries made it play tougher than expected, need to score on the other holes like reachable par 5's to compensate. Overall very impressed w/ everything but please put some sand in the bunkers.

Overall great condition. Greens were fantastic. Firm, fairly quick and rolled like a pool table. As good or better than any I've played. Still a couple washed out bunkers and muddy spots from record rains but as good as you could hope and not a detractor from golf experience. Only negative and the reason for food rating is we sat for 15-20 min. after round trying to order lunch and drinks and could not get served. 2 different wait people walked nearby several times as if we were invisible. Only 2 other tables until a 3rd that came in after us got their drinks. Very strange.

Best condition I've seen it in. Nice variety of holes. Trees are sparse enough you can recover from most bad swings. Overall just a nice small town course at a great price. Just a little to far for me or I would play it more often.

Wooded and scenic but also very playable. Some challenging holes but nothing unfair at all. Excellent variety of hole design in both shape and elevation change. An overall great course and a must play every time I am in the area

Overall this is a very good course. The only thing that keeps it from being a great course are a couple holes on the back nine are design wise a little sketchy. I still recommend it. The staff is nice and it always seems to be in good shape.

Even w/ rain most of the day b/4 course was not at all sloppy. Greens were firm and fast even being wet. Great mix of holes, some are very unique, in a good way. Only minor drawback to me is tee shot on #4 par 5 aims you at hazard. Unless you can count on a draw you are forced to club down which I hate to do on a 5 par. Overall good fun course and good value too.

Fairway and green plugs still not fully healed the day I played so couldn't rate as pristine but Im sure it normally is. Very interesting mix of holes, visually appealing and fun to play. I especially enjoyed the short par 4 designs. Course is demanding but fair with most of the potential trouble caused by forced carries over water. High end course w/ price to match but definitely worthwhile. A must play.

A perfect layup drive on 4 is on muddy sparse grass, better off in the rough. What I thought was a perfect drive on 5 rolls thru on rock hard ground to o.b. fence. On 15 your "perfect" drive is in thick grass in a ravine. Par 3 17th you cant see the pin from the blues and can barely see the left edge of green from t- box, then pin was on top of mound so anything not perfect is rolling off unfairly. Greens were rock hard and lightning fast on front, which is fine but after adjusting, the back was wet, soft and fuzzier. Waited every hole even thou mid wk had limited groups out, no one would let anyone play thru, I quit after 17 couldn't take it anymore. Several holes had t- boxes pushed back so far you didn't know where they were. An attempt to artificially lengthen the course in my opinion. I do not care for this tracks layout It is trying to be more than it is. It was was mostly in very good condition and staff was friendly but I will not go back at any price.

This is a straightforward what you see is what you get course. Very few twists or surprises. Most holes are straight and pretty wide open, which surprised me as the slope was 140 from modest 6400 yd back tees. Played comparable to about a 123 or so slope. condition was very good but aeration of greens still a week or so away from true roll. Not to bad but will cost 2-3 putting strokes along the way till then. To long a drive for me to go back as it was good but not great. Pro shop staff was great. Bartender not so much.

Great views and scenery but fog on lake diminished it a lot on our day. Fairways were in fair condition, greens excellent. Not overly tight driving but with rough baked out and mostly running away to woods or water for drainage I suppose, any moderate miss was gone. Putting was a bit of a mystery due to lake effect. Only real negative I had was when going into woods there were to many times the drop offered no shot to green. In effect a double penalty. I recommend the mountain/ canyon, skip the river. Mundane after the other two nines.

This is a great course. Condition was excellent except greens had been mini plugged and sanded also very fuzzy the day we played. Still very enjoyable and scenic. Very challenging, course knowledge is big. Carry distance off tee is needed at a couple holes is my only complaint.

To many holes either swampy or dead patches in fairways. I sense they don't have the cash to keep everything up so have chosen just the greens, which is probably the right call. Also find a few to many odd hole designs to get me back again. Its ok at the right price but not a recommender.

Nice course, good condition. Greens were excellent. Challenging but not overly. Miss to the correct sides/areas you are alright and can recover. Pay attention to distances off the tee if you are a big hitter. Lots of dogs left but you don't have to draw the ball well to score decent. Short game can save you on this course.

This course was a pleasant surprise. A bit more challenging and strategic than I expected and much more interesting. Course knowledge would definitely help but not a must. Greens were in great shape although the day we played almost every pin was in the absolute toughest position possible, a couple were completely unfair. Great elevated view of 3 holes from the clubhouse screened porch. Friendly staff and an overall good time. Recommend you check it out.

Average difficulty, short, with a number of holes that tempt you to be aggressive. Much of the time this is a bad risk / reward but if you are really on you could go low. Greens had subtle breaks that were hard to read for pins I had this day. A few greens had to much slope for these pins. Condition was good not great. I really consider this to only be a good value at a big discount from normal rate.

Gps here makes a huge difference. Its the difference between a frustrating round and a very fun and strategic one. Everything is first rate unless you like a fancy clubhouse, which I could care less about. All employees were great. Very nice practice area conveniently close to 1st tee. Course is one of best in expanded mpls area. It has it all, woods water elevation change, design and shot variety. In wonderful condition. Will definitely go back. Just play smart here.

Very good condition overall, just a small amount of winter kill. old fashioned tree lined course. Nice variety with just a couple par 4s on the front that are mabey wedged in too tight and require couse knowledge. Play here at least once every year. Always enjoy it.

Havent played here for many yrs. Now I remember why. Tons of long grass clippings and piles everywhere, lots of bare and dead spots. A very average layout, nothing very memorable. plenty of better courses for same or less money out there.
