One of the best pieces of land in the midwest also happens to have an excellent golf couse. The greens, collars, and appraoches were immaculate last visit. The attention to detail on the grounds is impressive to say the least.

Template greens make for interesting pins and fun approaches. The Short 4th, Eden 7th, Cape 8th, Biarritz 12th, and Alps 14th are the highlights, but the rest are no slouches either

Really strong golf club. Several memorable shots and a wonderfully maintained golf course. Feels very “big” but demands precision. I’ve only played it once (on a very windy day with an injury) but I could tell it was different and a few cuts above the normal country club.

Probaly played here 50 times over 40 years and it still holds up as a treat I look forward to every time. The re-sod and tree removal was a game changer. I adore the front 9. The 10th hole, however, is the electric chair and a stout Par 3. 18 is a gift of a finisher, imo.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Minneapolis, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
