    My husband and I played this course and loved it. We were paired with two locals who were wonderful…read moreto play with and knowledgeable about each hole. The course had received much rain over a week and we were on a car-path-only cart scenario which definitely slowed down our round times. The course was beautiful. As a golfer who tees off from the forward tees, it was quite a long course. With the extra water on the course and getting no roll, it was even longer. Despite the challenges, the holes were beautiful and fun to play. Every staff person we met made us feel welcome and were helpful as we were first time players. Carts had screens to indicate yardage. They also had messaging such that if you left a club on a hole, you could text a ranger and they would retrieve it for you. Really great experience.

    Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I do have one complaint though-…read morethe lady in the shop asked me what brand of clubs I want to rent and I selected from her options. Then she came out and said they didn't have what I wanted so I got whatever they had. And to top that off, she set me up with a left handed set and I didn't realize it until we were already out on the driving range. So of course I had to go all the way back. Waste of my warmup time. Otherwise- the course was well marked and well maintained and freakin fun!!! I was annoyed at the back 9 that some guy and his kids jumped in front of us while we were getting refreshments. However- I found out that they were in front of the group in front of us, and they let that group play through. The bar had a boozy iced coffee that we shared. It was good! The pro shop was keen to let us know that we could contact them at any time through the screen chat on our golf cart. Yeah, I tried that, and it didn't work. Stupid function. One of their bathrooms is more like septic? But that warned me in advance so I just waited til the end of the front 9 to use the one in the clubhouse. For whatever reason, the clubhouse was only serving food off the grill. The main restaurant was closed?!?! We were sad about that because my in laws were supposed to meet us after our round, for lunch there. So we called them and cancelled that plan. Other than a great day at golf, I will compliment them on a couple things- there is an attendant in the parking lot that brought a golf cart right to us, which was awesome. But we didn't need it. We didn't have our own clubs, we were renting. But still, that was very nice. Also, the shop was well stocked! I found two shirts that fit my husband and we bought both, along with a hat for him. He was so pleased. Usually the shirt sizes are way too big and loose on him. They had a fitting room there that he used and I brought him at least 10 shirts to try. The course was littered with deer and lovely flowers. It was so pretty. The carts have a nice gps function and on some holes, show you where carts ahead of you are, if there is a blind spot. The greens fees and cart fee and rentals are expensive. But it was definitely worth the experience. I just wished for better rentals, more time in the practice area and a fully functioning restaurant. But we may be back next year.

    Best boarding and skiing in northern Minnesota hands-down. Jeff is the man he took care of my board…read morewaxed it polished it, and I've went the fastest I've ever gone in my life. Couldn't leave a better review. You should go to giant Ridge seriously.

    We stayed in the resort over several days. Our room was nice. It was decorated with a cabin theme,…read morelots of log furniture, pine and birch tree wall art, and a few moose decor items. Everything was clean. The room came with a fully stocked kitchenette which is nice if you want to do some cooking but we ate out. No stove but there is a hot plate, dishwasher and refrigerator. It's nice to have a couch and TV separate from the bedroom. We golfed at The Legend and The Quarry. They were beautiful courses Fairways and greens were well maintained. Legend was a little less than 5100 from the forward tees which was very fair. Quarry was closer to 5200, so longer and much more narrow. Don't forget to look for the giant bear claw on The Legend. Lots of driving between some holes but enjoy the scenery while you are cruising. Great courses. I struggled to rate this. I loved the golf but the accommodations had some pros and cons. Lodging pros - separate bedroom and living area - kitchenette - close to everything we wanted to do - Two TVs Lodging cons - the shower water never got really hot to that end the jacuzzi in the room was never used because we couldn't get it hot enough to want to sit in it - separate rooms are nice but controlling the temp was hard as air conditioning was in bedroom but thermostat was in living room. There are fans to help but in the end the bedroom was usually very cold - the TV in the bedroom was hit or miss on displaying channels. - WiFi was hit or miss. - rooms are owned by individuals so it's like renting a vrbo. To that end, no housekeeping. Not sure if you could request it. We didn't stay long enough for it to be a major issue.
