Very nice course. We golfed on a late fall day and we played very quickly, just over 3 hours…read more The forward tees are just over 5100 which is a good distance. There are some good challenges with water, sand, and fescue but nothing too wild or unfair. As it's fall, many leaves were off the trees but they were working hard throughout the day to get them off the playing areas. The front nine is more wooded and the back much more open. Green were in good condition (except for the leaves). Pretty course. Staff was nice. Had a dog at the turn which (I think) was from a local meat market and it was so good. Great stop.

Great Course. But, please stop with the back 9 start and then back to tee 1 start an 1 1/2 later…read more Now you have all all the groups who started on the back 9 as well as your normal tee time folks all teeing off at the same time on tee 1. This creates a very long backlog waiting to tee off.

However, it is an hour drive from the Twin Cities metro area.

I recently attended a wedding at this venue. It was a gorgeous place. Unfortunately the staff makes…read moreit difficult to leave a 5 star review. The staff on clean up crew was unfriendly. 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

I really wanted to like this place. The vibe is awesome & the partially open kitchen is cool but…read morethe service was incredibly lacking & the food was mostly sub par. We visited for lunch and the restaurant was about half full. Our server however, was often nowhere to be found & we had to have the food runner attempt to help us on more than one occasion. Even then, we still seemingly couldn't get them to bring us plates for the cornbread. Trying to pay the tab took nearly 15 minutes of just trying to flag her down. My husband ordered their burger & the fries that initially came out with it were super undercooked. My shrimp po boy had a skewer inside the sandwich (not holding the bread together but running the length of the bread.) My mother in law did say her gumbo was amazing & their cornbread was delicious but I just don't think we'll be back, it really was nothing to rave about, even if they were just having an off day.

We drove 2 hours for our anniversary for a New Orleans meal…read more The Blackberry Highball is very sour and not so fruity. We started with the Boudin Balls and Hush Puppies - both very good. My husband had the Red Beans and Rice and really enjoyed it. Lots of meat in it. I was hoping for Crafish Étouffée but it isn't on the menu any longer. So I ordered the Shrimp Étouffée. Very disappointed. Only 5 small chunks of shrimp. It also has a sort of poblano verde sauce or maybe a poblano Maque Choux without the corn. Lots of celery. And the small amount of rice. I didn't eat much of it, after the shrimp was gone it was just bad sauce. A wasted $21. The cornbread was nice with honey butter. We split the bread pudding for dinner and it is excellent - DON'T MISS IT! Service was excellent. Especially the bus boy / water refiller. P.S. They don't do anything for anniversaries. Not sure if we will drive over 2 hours each way for Étouffée that was mediocre. The Crawfish Étouffée was excellent last time.

There is ample parking with metered parking out front, a ramp nearby with $6 per day or .40 per half hour, the Calvary Church also offers parking behind the venue. 4 women stalls on each floor, an elevator and a pretty fountain in the entrance. Some empty space on the first floor and a bit of art displayed as you walk in.

Because of conferences and trade shows, I frequently am at the St Cloud Civic Center. It used to…read morebe okay, but two new additions within the past year have really bumped it up on my 'Like' list: the additional meeting space, and believe-it-or-not, the outside parking lot. Expanding conference space that is modern, clean, and functional is a no-brainer, and I'm so glad that St Cloud is keeping up with the times and keeping up with the growth. Even though I'd prefer to have meetings in the Cities, the clients my business serves are statewide, so outer Metro hubs like St Cloud, Duluth and Rochester are often utilized by the associations who put on the conferences. Putting up with the freezing cold in the exhibit hall a few years back while they were building the expansion. So now about that parking lot. In the past, there were probably 20 parking spots (Okay, that may be a bit extreme. There were probably 30.) that were shared with the Civic Center and surrounding businesses. You'd have to park underneath the Civic Center in a cold, old, scary parking structure. The nightmare actually came when all the trade show vendors packed up their booths and we had to wait in line to cram ourselves, booth and SWAG into one elevator to get to our cars. Not any more! I'd much rather park outside all day for $6.00 and just stroll out of the Civic Center and walk a short distance to my car. It's a piece of cake now! There's a 'skyway' that connects the Civic Center to Le St-Germain Suite Hotel (Really? St Cloud is a university town. Who are they kidding?), and many local businesses are within walking distance. (See also: Adventure Advertising, Meta 13 and Jules' Bistro) I have reserved parking spot #4 for me. Please don't park there when I'm in town.

I've attended several conferences, trade shows, workshops, fundraising events, and dinners here, and it's always worked well for the organizations hosting the events. The cost is a bit higher than some spaces, but it's a centrally located space, adjacent to two hotels and restaurants and bars, and the building is large enough to accommodate either small or large groups depending upon what it is you're looking for.

We went there on Friday for the Fish Fry. I'll start by saying that the fish itself was great. It…read morewas battered and fried and came out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The disappointing part was that it took over 30 minutes for the server to even make it to our table and another 20 before we got our salads and finally water. I don't even want to imagine how long it would have taken if we had ordered more complicated drinks. One of our food orders was wrong when the server brought it to us (but I will say they fixed it fast). The overall experience was disappointing and I don't recommend going unless you have LOTS of time to kill before you eat or drink anything.

I called the hotel and talked to a manager and she refunded my 7 extra nights but was not able to explain why the extra charges occurred. I didn't think much of it and was just happy my card got refunded. 2 weeks later I had $844 charged to my credit card and called again to inquire about it. The front desk person couldn't look into it but said the manager Gina would look into it for me and return my call. She never returned my calls. I called back 2 days later and the same front desk person answered and remembered me and said Gina would be in at 3pm and also gave me her email address. I asked the front desk person to have Gina call me back when she came to work for the day. I also composed an email to her detailing my issues with my confirmation number and asking her for a call back. My email and calls were never returned. I called back 2 days later and a different guy said he could look into it and said he saw a lot of strange charges but didn't understand them. He said he would get with his manager and call me back later that night. He never called back. I called back again and he said it would have to wait for Gina to call me back. I asked for a copy of the charges to emailed to me and he said he would. He never did. I called today to talk to the GM Brad, the front desk person said he was in but not in his office and offered to send me to his voicemail. I was then transferred to his voicemail and it was full and not able to accept new voicemails. I tried calling the front desk back, but the phone rang for 2 minutes and then hung up on me, I tried again and the same thing happened. I waited 10 minutes and tried calling again, but it still rang for 2 minutes and then hung up on me. At this time the issue is still unresolved.

The food tables wouldn't have been a mess and all the options on the menu would have been available. I bet there may have even been plates! Guys. What on earth? This is a special day and you have been doing this for years! What food there was, was alright. But we couldn't have soup because the heat turned off and it was thick and congealed, we couldn't have a crepe because no one was refilling the whip cream. We couldn't have smoked salmon because there was none. We couldn't have steak because they ran out but left the sign. We could barely have sliced prime rib.. it frequently ran out and when the last one came out it was very rare.. lemonade and tea were not mixed appropriately. Completely laughable. No servers came by to take our drink order. Big opportunity missed. Servers were everywhere but apparently not running the dish washer, and also they were taking our food plates without asking if that person was finished. People! You were open until 2pm. What on earth are you trying to pull here. At 12:45 the soup and crepes were done for. The meat selections were out. What exactly was worth $34.99? We tried this brunch ten years ago and were disappointed. Thought we would try it again. We will never be back.
