Most likely drinks very often.. just don't go. I know the price is tempting and the course looks.. okay at best. It's not worth it, save your money and don't give them your hard earned money. Took over 4 hours to play nine holes, if that tells you anything about management. Don't know how on gods green earth this course has 4 stars on google. They also HATE KIDS.

First time golfing here and it was a fantastic experience for my wife and me. A couple…read morehighlights: - several holes had amazing views of the river valley so much so that the couple we were golfing worh took lots of photos - the greens were challenging but in a fun way as lots of slope and very well maintained. - the course had a really relaxed vibe and fellow golfers were very friendly. - the staff was super friendly from the person washing carts who got us set up to the pro shop to the beverage cart server to the restaurant/bar where we had lunch after our round. Everyone had a smile and that definitely contributed to a fantastic atmosphere. The course had lots of terrain and mature trees but wasn't too punishing for novice golfers (90-110 scores) who only play a couple rounds per summer typically but are working to play more often. I would highly recommend making the drive during the summer and can only imagine the views in early fall with the river valley leaves. Finally it looks like the clubhouse / restaurant is set up to host events and wedding receptions with amazing views. We will be back as the views, course, and staff made the easy 1 hour drive from Eagan well worth it.

A couple of switchbacks on the road bring you to a ridge overlooking the Mississippi River. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape. The forward tees were around 4800 yards which is a bit more on the shorter side but the many narrow fairways created plenty of challenges. Staff was friendly. Carts did not have GPS. We had a great experience and would gladly return for another round.

Combination of mature trees and undulating terrain combine with course design to make it a challenge.

OMG the food was amazing. The view of the golf course was beautiful. If I lived in this area, I would be here every Friday. We returned on Sunday morning for brunch. We were not disappointed. If the food and view were not enough, we were treated as if we were old friends by the restaurant staff. It was obvious, that the regular patrons were welcomed guests. More importantly, we were welcomed in the same manner. I can't wait until next year, when we return to the area for the Ashley for the Arts Festival.

Nice Clubhouse Very friendly staff Nice views of Lake Pepin All Par 3s are tough, but visible The Not So Good About 11 of the remaining 14 holes involve blind tee shots Approx.70 miles from St Paul Had an enjoyable day playing this course, but the blind tee shots will drive you nuts! It's very difficult if you don't know where to aim off the tee. Irritating actually. The terrific conditions, friendly staff and wonderful views made up for some of it. If you were a local, or played here regularly, it probably wouldn't be a problem, but for the casual traveler it could be quite disconcerting.
