As a newcomer to Minnesota I wouldn't have known a historic country club is so close to the Universities course just up the street. The course is in fantastic shape, the greens had just been punched so I likely scored better because they weren't as fast. Many of the holes require smart setup and position shots to be able to score well and some of the holes tempt you to bomb away and punish you if you miss. We stopped midway for some food, they gave a great restraint and fantastic staff, they got us back on the course quickly. They have removed many trees on the course and the only drawback is the freeway proximity for a couple holes but 99 years ago that wasn't exactly a problem. Great course, incredible pros, awesome staff and a fantastic Friday round of golf..... well done Midland Hills.

Words cannot even begin to describe the absolute perfection and joy that having our wedding at…read moreDellwood Country Club brought to my wife and I. The entire staff at Dellwood went above and beyond to make our wedding reception something from a storybook. From initial brainstorming, through detailed planning, and to eventually executing, every single detail was thought through brilliantly. We continue to get comments routinely about how fun and beautiful the weekend was at Dellwood. Dellwood offers a tremendous amount of service to make sure each couple gets exactly what they hope for. Even more, they take care of anything and everything they are tasked with, taking initiative to offer solutions rather than just a list of potential issues. I specifically want to complement Bry, the event coordinator. She is a master of her craft and made our day perfect. When planning a wedding at Dellwood, know you are in the best of hands. The food and drinks were incredible. During the welcome happy hour, champagne and hors d'oeuvres were offered to all the guests while a jazz quartet played. One of the best features was lobster grilled cheeses! For dinner, we served wedge salads followed by a surf-and-turf with filet mignons and crab cakes. The dinner was fantastic- and every guest thoroughly enjoyed it. Late night, we served fair food which featured corn dogs and pizza, etc. to send guests home full! We offered an open bar- several bartenders made sure that no line was ever formed- they moved quickly. The events Dellwood offered us allowed us to have a full-on wedding weekend rather than a single night. On the day prior, we had a lunch buffet at the pool cabanas, giving us the opportunity to welcome guests from out of town. On the morning of, the groomsmen and I all enjoyed a fantastic breakfast on the patio. On the evening of the wedding, we had a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, a lovely surf-n-turf dinner, hours of dancing, and late-night snacks to send everyone home. Fireworks over the course ended the evening perfectly. The event space itself was my favorite. Our wedding took place on a beautiful summer evening in July. With the sun setting over the golf course, the scenes of everyone in their black-tie attire standing on the balcony and on the green grass was picturesque. Guests flowed in and out of the reception dining hall and the outside. The flowers and landscaping at Dellwood in July are beautiful. In the reception hall, there was plenty of room for our 250+ guests, with a full 7-piece band performance with plenty of dancing. What they offer at Dellwood Country Club is truly unmatched. I cannot more highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. You will never regret it.

The front and back 9 holes were added at different times. The front 9 is the original, and it really needs some work. There are some holes that need to be reworked or at least remove or trim some trees. If they did that, this place would easily be 5 stars. The back 9 is a great set of holes.

Highly recommended and we will continue to come back!

There were several others that also thought that was a great place to enjoy wine and conversation. I chose the red wine flight and my friend did a custom flight. I thought all the wines were delicious, deep red color, robust tastes. We also munched on a cheese tray. It was a good amount for two people. Cheese, fruit, nuts, and crackers created nice combos of flavors and textures. Service was excellent. It was a great place to relax and regenerate after a long bike ride.

We tried a few different flights of wine and flat breads and enjoyed the beautiful view of the vineyard. The place is truly breathtaking, and at the time, they had live music playing outside. Jenna made some very good recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. ::Caution:: I still gave this place 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the service or the quality of the food or location, but we were picturing a nice, calm brunch, sipping on wine, not a Chuck E Cheese experience. Apparently, we were upgraded to the deluxe Chuck E Cheese package and were seated around lots of parents who decided to bring their young kids to a vineyard. The kids were running wild around tables and crying and screaming. Not one parent corrected their kids' behavior and just let them run around like free-range chickens. There were also people complaining that there were no non alcoholic drinks that they wanted at a vineyard. When I went inside there seemed to be no kids indoors. While another group could not control their kids and kept knocking things off the table, including glasses of wine. No one seemed to mind outdoors because most of the people had young kids, so be warned that this may be a possibility, so research your days before you go. Overall, if you remove the kids running wild and crying, the service was fantastic, the wine was good, lots of parking, the ambiance was incredible, and the food was good.

Well, I'll start out that I'm not a huge fan of outdoor fairs in swampy, humid Minnesota in the…read moresummer, but I also end up going to a lot of them. Anoka's county fair is a good one... maybe not the best, but a good one. (My favorite so far is the Steele county fair.) Better than the Ramsey county fair. You get the same feel of the State Fair on a smaller and more manageable scale: the smelly animals, the greasy, overpriced food, Midway rides and rigged carnival games, and plenty of crap for sale. Plus, if you go on the right (or wrong) day and time, you'll hear the loud sounds of a demo derby or tractor pull. The upside is that if you're not into roaring engine sounds and the aroma of diesel fuel, the grounds are actually big enough to get a bit away from that. So it sounds like I'm not a fan, but yet somehow I am. I do like this stuff in limited doses. There are also some musical acts as well-- we saw a good rock band, and I wish I could remember their name. Good story! Pro tip: word on the street (and their website) is that you need to get a seat right away for the demo derby. Pro tip 2: you probably won't find me there. Free parking is the in the giant lot across from the main entrance. From the south, turn left at the lights after the bend. From the north, turn right at the lights. Look for people in bright vests and throngs of people waiting to cross the street. There are probably better mappy app directions, but I'll leave those almost rural style directions for now (and forever). Have fun!!! PS: Holiday in Lights in early December is a better way to experience the Anoka fairgrounds, in my opinion, plus it's free admission / free parking, and nachos / popcorn / cider for free or for a donation. That is, if you can tolerate Santa, Jesus, inflatable Minions, and Christmas music at distorted levels over the PA system. I can. It has a small-town winter wonderland feel to it, somewhat vintage as well. Plus it's not 90 freakin' degrees out.
