This course has been receiving a lot of care and attention recently and I have to bump up the grade a bit this year. Tall grass has been cut down, mulch is being spread on several holes and they have tried to clean it up. Also, they are adding several longer holes for more challenging play. With these improvements, this is turning into one of the best courses in the Twin Cities. Please pay attention to the barrels of garbage as they are overflowing at times.

With all that said, the course itself is challenging with a nice mixture of short and long holes. The woods offer numerous challenges from holes 6-16 and 18 is the big dog with the most length and a water hazard (only after rains, otherwise it is dry.) It is fairly easy to navigate and it's a great intermediate course.

This course could be an A- or A with small improvements. First and foremost, the course needs to be mowed. The rough is an appropriate length (around 1-1.5 ft tall) but the fairways are only a few inches shorter, making locating a good drive difficult when it should not be. Second, there is a ton of garbage all over the course. If these two things are resolved, this will be one of my favorite courses.

This is one of my favorites that the cities have to offer. 6-14 are in the woods and continuously change the game; it's well maintained, however, too many kids disrespect and break many glass bottles ... show more ›

This is one of my favorites that the cities have to offer. 6-14 are in the woods and continuously change the game; it's well maintained, however, too many kids disrespect and break many glass bottles from some tee boxes. And there are short tees marked for every hole with a 4•4.
also, the ponds usually only fill up after rains
