For casual golfers such as myself, this is a very challenging 9-hole regulation course. Extremely…read morewell maintained. Be prepared to study the greens - small mistakes can take you many yards away from the pin. My one criticism is that there are several pairs of parallel holes, which leads to golfers crossing into each others play. Very affordable - generally $15 on summer weekends.

The golf ranger named Ben approached us and asked if we can let the 3 kids on the cart play through…read more(obviously they were his friends). We were keeping up with the pace. We were waiting for people in front of us. Of course we understand golf etiquette, but the golf ranger doesn't - his friend hit the ball while we were putting I don't think BEN the golf ranger is doing a good job. So we let them play through we caught up with them and they made us wait Need a better ranger on the golf course -

A nice course not far from downtown White Bear Lake. We've hit up the twilight tee times a couple…read moretimes this year and had a good time. The course is well maintained with not too many bunkers and not much water but I did manage to find some. A good mix of hole lengths. The service in the pro shop was underwhelming - not the most welcoming but not rude. We got a cart for my dad who had knee surgery not too long ago. It had rained that day but there were no carts on cart path only signs except the par 3. It kept telling him to return to cart path even on a par 5 and would become inop and then make him back up. When we circled back to the pro shop they were able to do a special setting given his knee so they did fix that issue.

Nice course with a city-course feel to it. Narrow fairways. Holes that go back and fourth. We…read moregolfed here on our MN PGA Card so we got a great price. The greens were in excellent shape. The tee boxes were a bit chewed up at times. Fairways nice and rough had some thick grass. Because of recent rain, sand traps were either soggy or like dirt. Staff was friendly. We were paired up with two fun guys were who were lovely to golf with. It was rather slow. We waited on most shots. It was extremely busy and I did notice a ranger on the course at times which was helpful. Carts did not have GPS but there were poles in the fairway to guide you a bit. Loved the flowers. We enjoyed our experience so upped the rating a bit.

The Acqua restaurant group has partnered with them recently. They have added a awesome patio with pit. The menu is pretty small currently I added a photo of it. Was hoping for more burgers. The cocktails are just as good as Acquas. The service is super friendly as well. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Came here over the summer for dinner. I ordered a couple apps and fish tacos. Everything was…read morebetween mediocre to terrible. My nachos were charred. The tortilla chips were burnt, which ticked my taste buds off. My fish tacos taste like basically nothing, it had no flavor. And I didn't get my mojito I ordered when I was seated until mid dinner. The thing that annoyed me the most was that I ordered the mojito because it's normally a safe drink to order, hard to mess up. But my mojito taste like pure white rum.... The waitress told me the bartender actually didn't know how to make it, which sucks because it's on their drink menu. I would never come back, extremely expensive and terrible food and drinks. I had higher expectations, being it at an exclusive golf club.

Well, because of their work schedules, they did not have an open Friday night. With the season winding down, my daughter called to see if they would honor it for another day. They didn't hesitate! Told the kids to come in whenever they could. They went there yesterday, a Saturday, with their 2 boys, ages 7&9. They had a blast. Said the workers were pleasant and helpful and really appeared to enjoy their jobs. Food was good, facilities were nice, just an all-around fun family experience. Thanks, Ekobacken!
