I brought my daughter here to share a special experience--my second time playing golf, and she's…read morejust learning the game. Eagle Valley completely ruined it. We were paired with two men, one of whom spent time on his phone while in the tee box. Despite this, course employees explicitly targeted US. They tracked us down after the very first hole and harassed us three separate times for supposedly being four minutes behind pace. Not a single warning was directed at the men. The staff prefer just to hound two female beginners. It is a blatant, sexist double standard. If you want to introduce your kids to golf, do not waste your money here. They made it entirely clear that newcomers and women are not welcome.

This links style course is challenging but fair. Like most links courses, it's long, 5300 from the…read moreforward tees. 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.

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.

Pace of play is easily 4 hours or less. The day we played the greens were very sandy. Not sure if this is typical or if they had just been dressed. No matter, they were in good shape.

There are two courses, the Executive (par 3) course and the Championship course. The Championship is best if you want to use all of your clubs but the Exec is nice and short for a quick round.

I don't play very many higher end courses so I was looking forward to playing this course. I was…read morevery disappointed in the course conditions. The fairways were marginal at best. Winter kill and weedy. Had to move the ball around to find a spot to hit from. I know it's been a tough year but it's already mid June. They should be able to get them healed up by now. The greens were no better. They should be ashamed to present their product out there like this and still be charging a premium price to play it. If they were honest about it up front so that people knew what they were getting into, charge less until things improve, I might play it again. Can't trust them so I'll never play there again.

I've been coming to this course for a while, and I've never been more disappointed. Used to love…read morewarming up at the range before a round, especially with the range pass. Convenient, simple, and made me feel like the course actually cared about its regulars. But now? They've removed the range pass altogether, and you have to pay every single time just to hit a bucket of balls. Look, I don't mind paying for quality, but this just feels like a cash grab. I already pay for greens fees, food, drinks, and occasionally merchandise -- now I'm getting nickel-and-dimed for warm-up balls like I'm a tourist at a mini golf course? It's the principle of the thing. This place used to be about community and loyalty. Now it's just about squeezing out every last dollar. Shame. I'll be taking my clubs -- and my business -- elsewhere.

Be prepared to study the greens - small mistakes can take you many yards away from the pin.

When you hit a bad shot you can usually get back in play easily. Even with the almost 40,000 rounds played here each year, the greens are in good shape.

For years, I have played at Inside Edge and have not found my rhythm due to spinny tee shots and…read moresuper long wedges. It was not only Inside Edge but all of the simulators. I tried to find a place that didn't have a 3800rpm backspin tee shot and yes, Taylor Made fit me with an estimated 2100 rpm spin rate. I decided to give them a try again because I had free sim hours from my tournament play. I have excellent news. I brought in my prgr doppler radar device to check distance and ball speed. The prgr device has been verified to be +-1 mph clubhead and ball speed to a Trackman and to my surprise it was spot on for most of our players. See pics. The upgraded screens and software has closed the gap between ficticious and real golf. We plan on coming back for the multiple screen simSurround. We may have found our new place!

As the most recent review is from 2019, I thought I'd weigh in…read more I've been visiting Inside Edge for several years (less so during the pandemic), trying to improve driver speed. A buddy and me visited several times last December, reserving the closed "Curved Bay" room to limit exposure, but no one is using masks anymore. They have 3 types of bays: 7 standard bays, one with a curved screen in a bigger room, and one wrap-around screen in a separate room. Frankly, I've found that the standard bays are just fine, and are a bit less expensive. The driving range simulation provides a number of stats and allows you to compare and average stats for shots for any club. Of course, the measurements don't seem to always match outdoor reality, but they seem consistent relative to each other. Compared to my portable Garmin monitor, it seems a bit more accurate. You use their balls, which are marked to allow the camera to immediately assess spin. However, there is no replay to visually show you how your clubface actually hit the ball. There are a number of courses you can play from throughout the world, but there are many famous ones that aren't available. Even so, there are enough that I've probably only played 20% of those available. They recently installed a software update that added more courses. The biggest problem I have with indoor simulators centers around depth perception on shorter shots; "feel" doesn't cut it, so you have to learn how far to hit or putt based on distance to the pin. Also, it doesn't appear that this simulator actually reflect a difference hitting from trap or deep rough. Sam manages the facility most weekday mornings, which is when I tend to play as there is an appreciable discount for seniors playing before noon. Sam does a good job in getting everything set up (and then fixing something after I've screwed up by fiddling with the interface). They offer a selection of sports drinks, water and beer, as well as some microwaveable snacks I believe.
