Nice Niner

The first 4 holes are rather open which allows for some missed shots to not be penalized. The final 5 are fun upnorth type holes, through the woods and somewhat narrow. The weather was dry for sometime before we played and the course took the brunt of it. Although rather brown, the greens were good and rolled nicely. We enjoyed the course enough to play another 9.

Nice Niner

The first 4 holes are rather open along the side of a hill. The last 5 play thru the woods and was very interesting. The weather was pretty dry with no rain for a while, which isn’t the courses fault but the grass was brown. The greens however ran really true. I liked it enough to play it again.

Amazing greens!

Northern Minnesota is currently experiencing drought conditions so fairways on the dry side. However the greens are in fantastic shape. I was very impressed. Would definitely play again.

Right On!

A great golf course and an exceptional staff. I played 18 and the course was fun to learn. I had lots of fun shots and heading to a lake afterwards for a swim. A day I’ll remember for all time! Thanks!

Crazy Deal, Hidden Gem

This was a very pleasant surprise. I was either going to spend a fortune at The Wilderness or play here in Ely. The deal was for $15 with a cart (a total steal). Yes, the course is only nine holes, but you can tell that the staff is proud of what they're doing and keep it up very nice. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a fancy place with tons of "extras", but it is a really decent track that offers a solid challenge.

VERY WELL DONE GUYS!!
