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.

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.

Fair course for the money

As long as you don't hit straight at hazards off the tee, you should be able to find your ball and have a play on it. Greens were punched not too long ago, so made some interesting long putts. Altogether the course was in pretty good shape and not too challenging.
