Taken together, it's a great place for a round of golf. Rates are very reasonable here. The day we played here, there were not a lot players so it went pretty fast.

I did par a couple of the par threes and played mostly bogie golf so it was one of my better rounds. The carts were a bit old but they did have a gps which is helpful for yardage. Tee boxes were pretty beat up but greens and fairways were in great shape. I did lose a couple of balls in the long grass but it was very open and easy to see your shots and where you needed to hit. I gave a one star lower rating than I normally would because it was the slowest round I've played in years. Our threesome finished in just under 5 hours. That is just way too long to play 18 holes. We waited on every shot. The tee times were 9 min apart which is pretty typical so I don't know why it was so slow. Also take note this was a Monday afternoon. How a Monday afternoon tee time takes 5 hours is beyond me. We did use our MN PGA card and got a good rate, loved the course, but the time to play it may be a deterrent for future rounds.

We had our wedding here on 11/17/18…read more First of all the price for want you get here is unbeatable! I looked at three other wedding venue locations in the same price range and none of them even came close to what this place offered. So if you are on a budget, this venue should already be at the top of your list. Staff: The staff here are phenomenal. No matter what you need, even the littlest of things, they are right there to help you. I didn't even need an actual wedding planner or personal attendant for my wedding because the staff here took care of EVERYTHING and they did it FLAWLESSLY! The bartenders were super nice and patient with our guests, they even took a photo at our photo booth for our guest book! It's always refreshing to see the staff having just as much fun as the guests! Food: We picked out our menu for the reception and went with the Top Sirloin and the Caribbean Chicken. Bother we're a hit, however the complements we got regarding the steak were the best. Even after the wedding, people still talk about how amazing the steak was! We had zero complaints all night regarding this venue. Everyone had an amazing time and my husband and I couldn't have had a more special day. The brochure and ads promoting this venue don't even come close to how amazing they actually are. They go above and beyond and I wouldn't recommend anyone else! If we had a bigger budget, we still would have held our wedding here. They are that good.

I truly wish that I could give Rockwoods Event Center 0 stars. I held my wedding at this venue on…read more06/01/2019 and while the decorations and atmosphere were amazing, the way that complaints were treated afterwards was far from amazing. If you have already put a deposit down for your future wedding, I would go into it not expecting to see any of your extra paid for meals, and the staff doing nothing about wedding crasher complaints. My husband had to haul out wedding crashers himself, and when the issue was brought up to the bartender he said it "wasn't his problem". Our "point of contact" was never found and told about the issue. A groom should NEVER have to deal with this on his own. We never expected formal security, but we did expect the people in charge to take care of the issue. I am truly appalled with the way that one of the supervisors, Alex, treats complaints and the people they come from. After we saw no resolution from emailing back and forth with another employee, we chose to have a sit down and unfortunately Alex is who we were sat with. Never once did he take responsibility for the issues at hand, and instead flipped them around onto us and making it out to be our problem. He assumed that our issues were because of financial issues. We never once asked for a refund, nor did we expect one. Are we angry that money was wasted? Absolutely. But we're even more angry that nobody from this establishment would take the blame for their mistakes. It's disheartening that the people who work for this establishment do not care about their customers. When we could not come to any kind of middle grounds, we told Alex that we would be giving bad reviews and the response we received was "that's fine" so here I am. As we were walking out of the building, I could hear him talking about us with another employee. Extremely unprofessional on their part, as people in the customer service industry. I will be telling every future bride and groom to stay far away from Rockwoods, and to spend their money elsewhere.

I've been to this venue for 3 wedding and 2 banquets. Every time, I leave with little to nothing…read morebad to say about the place. Their facility is beautiful! I love it more and more every time I go! They have a pretty little waterfall, a big fish aquarium and a great little sitting area; so if you're trying to escape the dance floor there are places to hide. The bathrooms are spacious, clean and very well maintained! Every time I go their food is quality! Their chicken is a little dry, but some of the best chicken I've had at a wedding in a long time! Their server are attentive, professional and efficient. They have a bar with a wide selection of hard liquor, beer and a solid selection of wine. Overall, the of the best wedding reception locations I've ever been to! Great staff, delicious food, beautiful decor.

One of the main reasons we were interested in the Crown Room (besides the beautiful fireplace, large windows, and ceiling beams) was because they are a full service vendor. We had our ceremony and reception in the same room, they have their own chef and pastry chef, wait staff and bar service. The food is sooo good! From the open house in January that had appetizer/cake tasting and entree tasting a few months before the big day, we were constantly impressed and stuffed! We received countless positive reviews from family members and guest on how incredible the dinner, cupcakes and hors d'oeuvres were at the wedding. Some guests even describes the food service as "magical," the servers seem to appear out of no where and serve all tables at the same time. We chose to have our ceremony on site as well as the reception. We loved being able to create our own aisle design and ambience. The guests did not sit in rows but instead at the tables they would be served dinner. I loved how this was set up, it felt more cozy and less formal and intimidating to me and my husband. We were allowed to take photos on site before the ceremony. There are many beautiful locations on the Crown Room grounds as well as inside to take photos as a large group or as a couple. We found it very sweet that this beautiful room was nestled in a senior living facility. There were many residents that would sit in their front lounge and admire all the beautiful dresses and give such kind compliments and advice to us newlyweds! I could go on and on about what an amazing experience we had at the Crown Room. Bottom line, if you love this venue book it before it's too late!

We ordered pizza from the pub n grub in the water park it was huge and very good, only took 20 minutes too. They have a lot on their food menu in park including adult beverages. The water parkway great, surprised with all the bad reviews, there was always warm towels from the drier for use. Hot tub was huge and plenty of tables and floats for going down the slide and lazey river. Lifeguards seemed attentive and reasonable only blew their whistles when they had to. Water was perfect temperature other parks we have been to it was too cold. No complaints at all with anything. Everyone we dealt with was very kind and helpful, they even offer underground heated parking which was great since we were in the middle of a snow storm.

Amelia, our server, was terrific! Accommodating, friendly, and welcoming. Patio was busy but she got to us! Enjoying a 1/2 price bottle of wine and appetizers. Steak bites were perfect, asked for medium rare and they delivered: tender and so good. However, the fake onion rings on the steak bites could seriously get lost, keep the sautéed onions and peppers, bechamel sauce. Also, their fries (the other app) are dangerously good... fresh cut, tender crisp. Consistently good. Served with a spicy mayo, which is so-so. Wine selection was fine... for 1/2 price bottle, can't complain. Pinot Noir, light yet delicious. Not super loud on the patio but is by a highway, yet fairly sheltered from noise. Recommend for a midweek patio date night. They have a decent dining room and bar. Live music events, look 'em up and check 'em out, y'all!

They began to clean up before 9, even though the dance went until 10:30. They took down decorations, tables and chairs to the point that there wasn't even a place for people to sit that weren't dancing. They moved people's stuff around to other places so they could take tables down which made it difficult for people to find their things. Less than a minute after the dance ended, they began to shut off the lights. Due to the fact we felt we were being pushed out, I wouldn't recommend this place
