One of the best values for your money for golf in the Twin Cities area. The course was in very good…read moreshape. I recall only one green and one fairway being a big rough due to dry summer weather. The course is a confidence builder. Nothing to hard. Fairways are wide and forgiving if you happen to hit left or right. Most are straight so few blind shots. Not a lot of water and sand was in fair locations. Not a huge factor. Staff was friendly. I liked that they announced the groupings over the loud speaker to tee off so you knew when you were up. Good experience and price was right.

We were recommended to go here because we were looking for used golf clubs. The young lady working the front counter was the only one of a handful of employees who greeted us. There were at least five other employees in the store that we walked by and no one greeted us or asked if we needed help. Mahlia was working the front registers but was also the only one who offered to help us. When she had to cover the front register, she asked for help from her coworkers and no one responded to her. So we were stuck waiting. She asked someone to get what we needed from the back room and again she had to go get it because no one helped her. I'm giving 3 stars for Mahlia and because we found what we needed. But I was sorely disappointed in the rest of the employees.

I saw results right away, and look forward to working with Mickey to put together a plan for the off-season.

Watching myself on video really helps me to see and understand what I need to improve. Great tools to work with at GolfTec.

This golf course is a COMPLETE JOKE! Do not come here if you've reserved a tee time…read more We arrived at 7:45 am for our 8:10 am tee time and they miraculously lost our reservation. They didn't have it anywhere in their system even though we had confirmation over the phone. I saw that they did this to a couple of different people as well. There were a couple of ladies that had an actual tournament set up to play that drove hours to get there and the attendant claimed to not know anything about it. The staff here are incredibly unprofessional. I'm not sure how many people this happened to or if it's a common practice but it's completely unacceptable. I won't be coming to Phalen golf course again. Give Keller Golf Course a try instead!

SLOW play everywhere... I have never finished a round in less than 4.5 hours. Do not try Thursday afternoons - league allows 5-somes that do not follow many rules. Putting green has no flat puts. No chipping area. Best to call to get tee time - on line system is a mess.

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.

I've been training with Amy twice a week for the past year, both in person and virtually. When I…read morestarted, I was pre-diabetic, and suffering from plantar fasciitis and osteoarthritis in my knees that made it painful for me to participate in the sports and activities I love. Since then, I've dropped over 50 pounds, lost eight inches around the waist, and gotten back to hiking and pickle ball and golfing without pain. When I went for my annual physical a few months ago, it was the first time in fifteen years that the results came back clean - every result was in the normal range. Cholesterol and blood sugars were way down. I hired Amy as my trainer because she would come to my home, and train with me in the garage on the equipment I own. Dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX, box jump, wall sits, etc. Every workout is different. She is patient, quick to offer modifications when something's not right, and keeps a close eye on form to ensure I perform the moves correctly. She knows how to push, too. I never knew there were so many variations of plank exercises, squats and lunges. She's often recognized before I have that I am capable of doing far more than I realize, and it's worked. She's turned me into a lover of Bulgarian split squats! I'm healthier, stronger and more fit than I've been in decades, and I credit Amy. She's even helped with diet and nutrition, and turned me onto healthier foods, and when and how to use protein shakes maximum effect. In other words, I'm a big fan, and wholeheartedly recommend her training services for anyone who is serious about making health and fitness a bigger part of their lives.

Amy came highly recommended to us in 2021 by a physical therapist who had been working with my…read morehusband, Andy, 71, after a stroke. In 2022, I realized that I, 73, should be working on my own strength and conditioning in order to assist him as well as maintaining my own quality of life. For four years I have been working with Amy twice a week and Andy continues working with her once a week. We began with in-home visits but Covid forced us to virtual sessions via FaceTime. FaceTime has proven to be the perfect situation, especially since her recent move to Minneapolis. Her relocation went seamlessly for us and we continue as if she still lives in Pleasanton. Amy tasks us with personally designed workouts every session, making certain we're performing the moves correctly for maximum benefit, and offers valuable advice on diet and nutrition. She continues to research new and challenging exercises for us, pushing us to continually improve our strength, conditioning, balance and endurance. Her help has enabled us to continue to travel, enjoy our grandchildren and just feel better. We highly recommend our friend and trainer extraordinaire to anyone looking for a guide to better health.

This is my second experience with an indoor golf simulator, and I am a big fan!…read more We went for a quick morning outing after Christmas and the business defiantly surprised me! The interior was much more spacious than others I've been in, with the golf bays being nice and open. I really appreciated that as some have made me feel closed in. The screen was large and the buttons on the floor were kind of nice rather than having to use the screen to adjust. The mulligan button was hard to use if you weren't fast enough, but we didn't need it often. We didn't grab food or drinks this time but it smelled amazing, and I will definitely be back in the future!

The staff has always been extremely helpful and when purchasing balls there is also a large selection of sandwiches, beverages and snacks. Each time, I have got a water only and there are plenty of nearby garbages to toss items when finished. Lastly, the range has the big 10 sports logos on the green which will measure the distance. Distances are located on the signs behind the ropes. Enjoy!

The pool, golf course cabana area and chipping range are so nice!! The staff are all super professional and very attentive. You never have to wait for a drink on the course, at the pool, or in the clubhouse, never! What I love is when someone who attends a wedding for his niece cares more about his ability to drink all that he can consume on the house rather then spend time with the family. Funny guy! The same guy leaves early because he had to wait for a drink obviously not really vested in the wedding itself. Then He sends the same message three times, very funny. Let me say his actions speak for how valued his opinion is. Great place, great staff, and the members are super considerate, we love it!! All of our guests love it as well. Why else would you be in business for almost 100 years?? This is a rare course that should be here forever, it's truly priceless. We should value our history and past more and more!! Go enjoy you the club you will love it too!!
