The Jewel Golf Club

This course will test your game in every which way. From the tips, there are some of the most difficult shots in the state. No nonsense here if you hit the ball well you won’t have to worry about OB or hazards too much. Layout is fantastic, back 9 is an absolute blast.

I’ve been playing this course for a few years now and this has to be some of the best conditions this late in October. Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can play it again before the end of the season.

I wouldn’t rush back, but I would go back. Pace was horrible. Had to wait on every single shot.

This course got great reviews by friends and colleagues. It does live up to the reviews and is very technical. Very friendly staff and grounds keepers. Very nice clubhouse. Electric carts prepped ready for your day on arrival, my first actual course with sand and seed on the cart in 3 years playing. Actual flushable bathrooms on the edge of from and back 9’s was nice! Course layout is long and fairly wide fairways and T boxes are placed just as I would expect for their distances. Fairways and greens are hard and fast. I mishit many fairways not thinking the ball would roll out or bounce another 20 or 30 yards and lost balls in the native grass next to fairways that’s too thick to look for a ball. This is probably due to the native clay base of the area. I would say the greens are tournament speed and play pretty much as expected. Definitely practice on the greens before playing here. The only downsides I found here were the wind which was crazy I think from the long and open fairways, the roughs were cut probably 6” whereas fairways were like a green so you can get into trouble fast, and lastly I didn’t see a single ball cleaner. Never played a course without a ball cleaner at least every few holes, maybe it’s because they know people loose them often enough to not need a ball cleaner. I did realize after 18 holes that they have buckets for water for a towel around the starter box and range.100% would recommend The Jewel however I probably won’t play here again until I have a higher skill set.

The course was in phenomenal shape and Pace of play was a non-issue. The course is one of the best public courses in MN. Very challenging yet scoring chances exist on every hole.

The staff is fantastic. The grounds crew has the course in tip top shape. I wish there were more days left in the season to play. Truly a must for the avid golfer.

10/10 experience, the value is absurd! You won’t find anything else remotely close to it in MN.

Kudus!

The Jewel is always in great shape, even at the beginning of April! I highly recommend you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!!

I truly enjoyed my round of golf there. I'm definitely coming back play there. Very soon. Hopefully before the close of 2023 season. Most definitely in 2024 golf season

Great golf course-great staff-played it many times and will continue to do-in the future!
