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.

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.

Tee boxes and greens were well kept. I'm not sure if they even allow walking but the distance between holes is immense. We saw bunnies, deer, hawks, eagles, and a turkey. The forward tees were about 5000 yards which is a good distance. Loved the views of the river and bluffs from up high. A signature hole is #17 which is a par 3 that is about 130yds from the forward tees but plays like less than 100 yds because it's straight down. Fun.

4 People, $100, 18 Holes + Cart and 4 Burger Baskets!…read more This was a great deal, luckily someone in our group saved this coupon from The Local Shopper or some other local newspaper. I would give the special 4 stars all in it's own, but this is more of a combination with the golf course. We were here for a busy Saturday morning tee time, the course was moving pretty well though and we were not in a hurry so no complaints there. One thing that was unusual was a 6-some of women playing about 2-3 groups in front of us. Every where on the course you could hear the cackle of these ladies laughing and the pointless shrieks that would randomly fill the air. When we made the turn and said everything was going well except this loud group of 6, the club house didn't seem too worried about it. The front nine is definitely easier than the back, seems like it might have been around first then the back 9 was added later. The front is shorter, there are more mature trees and the greens are pretty flat, definitely some Birdie opportunities. Nothing really too special about it to tell the truth. The back 9 a little different, longer holes, more sloping hills and blind approaches which is a nice change compared to the front. If you didn't shoot well on the front then you will probably do worse on the back. Nothing fancy here, just a small town course with some decent specials.

The front nine was rather short from the forward tees so I eked out a few pars. Water plays a factor in a few holes. Not much for sand and there were a few rolling hills. Tee boxes were in bad shape but the greens were very nice. Back nine was hillier and more challenging with narrower fairways and more water challenges. Staff checking us in was friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful. The bike trail is near so we heard a few riders zooming past. We played fast. Our first 18 holes took about 3 hours. We bopped over to hole two after finishing 18 and played 6 more of the front nine until we caught up to a foursome. Beautiful day on the course.
