Not sure if they provide clubs if you don't have them. They showed us how to use the system and set us up for a course. We opted to play a European course, St Andrew Old Course. I was in the long grass often. The system was easy to use. Hint, if you want to hit from forward tees, you have to set that up before you start the game. I was playing from the guys tees which put me at a huge disadvantage. You can bring in your own beers and snacks if you choose. They do have water but no other refreshments. We had a great time. Our two hours went fast. Will definitely be back.

Then I scheduled a lesson with my coach but I was a little scared that it might mess me up and I might be better trying to figure it out myself. Not good idea really went bad for me bad choice. So then I scheduled a lesson a within 5-10 min. he found it and got me to understand. That was yesterday and today I played and I was so happy I can't ever thank my coach enough Thanks Adam Eggert from Eden Prairie

My coach Steven has really helped me understand my old habits and swing tendencies and why they weren't producing the results I desired. I considered lessons at my local club, but the video technology at GolfTec and quality in-person instruction just can't be beat. Being able to see stats on my swings, as well as measurements (open shoulders, attack angle, etc.) compared to the world's best, really gives me data to better understand my results and what I need to do to improve. Highly recommend. If you want to contact me personally for additional feedback, reach out. I'm happy to help. This is a great game, and the investment in lessons at GolfTec with Steven is absolutely worth it.

I went in for a putter fitting as well as a new grip. Alex helped me find the right grip, find the right length for my putter as well as accommodate me while I looked for new golf shoes. He was the most helpful retail worker I have ever met. He also gave me putting tips that have changed the way that I see the game. If I had to give this store, and Alex a rating out of 10 it would be a 20 out of 10. I will definitely be coming back to the store. Heck I would even drive 2 1/2 hours just to come to the store.

Then another guy working with Craig grabs my putter without knowing if it needs weight and where it might need them grabs a super stroke 75g weight I did have a super stroke grip. This guy gorilla screws it into my grip I said hey did you even weight the putter yet? The guys says oh yeah we gotta do that first right. Neither one could get the weight out it was in there so tight so they cut the grip off! Craig went to pick out another of the same I had already had one in my hand for him but Craig insisted on using the one he grabbed. Kinda funny cause it turned out it was a FAKE Super Stroke grip! the 3.0 xl are exactly 13.75 in length this one was much shorter. I'll never go back there very poor customer service it was even a slow day no one in the store.

It's near the MOA and REI and off American Blvd. I'd only end up here on a mission, and I happened to be on a mission that day. I came to pick up a specific Titleist hat that is maroon and gold with a UoM on the side. It was Per's bday, and that's what he wanted. Talk about easy to please...or at least easy on the wallet! They had what I needed and I was about to make a quick check out, but decided to see what else they had to offer, as I used to be a quite competitive golfer and still enjoy a round a few times a year. The word Galaxy seems aprapoe. The have everything related to golf, with the exception of an indoor driving range, which, I think would be a great add on to the store. Every club, ball, marker, tee, etc seems to be here as well as every odd type of branding as well. Hello Kitty ball marker for your up and coming Michelle Wei? It's here. If you've got a golf lover in your family, or your a fanatic yourself, this just may be your new favorite spot.

However, if you are looking for a hang out with your 21+ friends to drink and lay out I would recommend another beach. They have a beautiful dock for some quiet reading and fishing. However, I have yet to go down there because it's always being used.

We decided to go with the 2 hour rental and were happy that we did. The 1 hour rental would not have been enough time given the massive size of the lake. My only critique is to train the young high school boys a little bit about customer service. They were very rude while assisting us with getting on and off the jet skis and looked like it was a pain to be helping us. On the other hand, the high school girl checking us in and out was great!

As I would turn the machine would lose a lot of power and my partner ran out of gas with a hour left, so they didn't fill up both machines asine still had half a tank left. $600 deposit and make sure to take a good video of the machines. The process of receiving instruction was a little odd as a younger kid was giving us rules then a seemingly drunk older man in a truck kept talking over him who I assume is the owner? Kind of a weird dynamic going on here. The process of taking off and riding was good no issues there.

Perfectly adequate experience for hiking. Definitely got the impression that this park is more…read moregeared towards winter cross-country skiing purposes. Though there is also a mountain biking path. There is both an East and a West entrance to this park. The East entrance seems to more be the main entrance with a tennis court, hockey rink, children's playground, and little free library. The West end however has a younger children's playground and a gazebo with ample picnic tables and a grill. Both ends have trash/recycling bins and a port-a-potty. No plumbed toilet facilities and no water fountains (this fact admittedly lowered my rating of the place). Trails are all pretty wide (again, to accommodate the cross-country skiers), and there are a decently number of maps posted periodically along the route to help you keep track of where you are. The outermost loop is 3.2 miles, so this would be a decent place to practice your 5k, especially if you want frequent elevation changes. I didn't find the scenery to be all that stunning compared to some other spots I've found around MN, but it was still reasonably pretty here and there. Nice large parking lots on either end.
