Always manages to disappoint

I golf at Rum River Hills once per year. I have a pretty low bar for my expectations but somehow they always manage to disappoint. On this particular Sunday, we had a 9:20 tee time only to be told when we showed up that "something got screwed up" and we would not be able to tee off on time. So basically they crammed us (as well as a bunch of other tee times) in between other tee times. Of course, when we made the turn, we had about 30-40 minute wait. Front nine, 2 hours, back nine 3.5 hours. Also, the group in front of us had two bad carts that kept stalling and holding things up. I've said it before but I mean it this time. This is the last time I will golf here. Very poorly run and the course was built on a foot print that's big enough for about 14 holes.

First Time Playing

January in Minnesota

The course held its own. There were decent challenges of water throughout the course, The bonus for the day was if you hit the ice transformed ponds, your ball had the possibility to bounce out; or you could brave walking out to hit it. :| Only one person in our group did this. 😎

Walked

VERY UPSET!

I played one hole with the three-sum I was paired with, a family of three who SAID they could not play and one was a 7 or 8 year old child. I tee'd off and waited for almost 10 minutes to take my second shot. So I just grabbed my bag and walked back to the starter. I could not get a rain-check or a refund because I booked via GolfNow... GolfNow would not give me a refund and I tried to speak and chat but nobody answered the phone or chat.

I typically will not play this course, but it was all that was available and I really wanted to play.

GolfNow wants to know how much fun I had playing, but they have no place to complain when you don't... so I had to eat $50.

Rum River Golf Unique

A challenge for all golfers. Plenty of water, some pretty tight fairways and a dog leg 18th. hole, putting surfaces are average.

Carts everywhere

During the course of a normal round it’s not uncommon to see a few maintenance carts roaming around but in the middle of summer this course had those maintenance carts driving around and making noise on every other hole making it very distracting to play. Pro shop staff also very rude for no reason.

One if my favorites.

Rum River is a nice golf course. It has some challenging holes and that are very playable. I play here multiple times every season.
