Golf Now failure
The Minneapolis City golf courses have stopped using Golf Now but Golf Now continues to post available tee times and require pre-payment for tee times that don’t exist. When my foursome arrived at the course there were no openings. Golf Now needs to get their act together..this in inexcusable.
My compliments to Aiden at Gross who had the very difficult job of informing customers they wouldn’t be playing golf that day due to somone else’s incompetence.
Nice course
Played behind ladies league so slow pace but still very pleasant golf . All flat and nothing surprising like many munis but course is in a good shape and all the people were so very friendly .
Overall happy
Course was in pretty good shape. Nothing too interesting, but fun still. No beverage cart for most of the round and inside bar was closed when we finished (around 7:30). Would play again though if price was right.
Hot and humid
I had the day off and decided to pick up a hot deal tee time as a single. Paired with a threesome from Kansas (up for the Twins game). Teed off at 11am, 92 degrees and humid. Luckily the deal time included a cart! Course was very dry, just like every other property in the Twin Cites during this heat wave. The fairways, tees, and greens were in pretty good shape. Greens rolled true and fast for a public course. Pace of play was slow. Isn't it always? But I was not at work, so overall enjoyable.
Would recommend this course. It's pretty flat and if you spray your ball it stays in play for the most part.
Very green; well-manicured and great shape
From tee to green, every hole was in great shape. Roughs were a little long probably because of the rain earlier in the day. I did not see a single weed in any of the fairways. Best condition I've ever seen this course in.
Only drawback was that there were no riding carts available even though I pre-paid to ride.
Great course
Great staff, course in good shape very well maintained and in great shape
Good for the Money
A fairly standard course that offers good value. Twilight rate is great, and the course offers some challenging holes and interesting layouts. The pace of play was very slow, which was the only true negative. Otherwise, a great spot for a fun afternoon of golf.
