Andrew Greens recent renovation is exceptional. Increased variety of pin placements, green contouring is more interesting, improved weaker holes. Always had incredible land movement and it now shows it even better

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.

Firm conditions, but not crazy. Feels like all the par 5s (except 6) ask the same question, which is "dare to climb this impossible hill to a green you can't hold?" and the answer is so obvious that it dumbs down the hole.

Improvements to the 3rd, 4th and 5th holes has helped, specifically restoring the Short template 5th on top of the hill with a view of downtown Minneapolis. A complete restoration would do it wonders, but still plenty of highlights here.

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.

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.

No place to hide at ORCC. This course will tell you exactly where your game is via a battery of the same repetitive questions which are: can you hit this fairway? Can you control your approach to be on the right side of the pin? Can you remain patient throughout the round?

A friend recently told me that T&C is his litmus test. If someone hates it (many do) then they’re just not on his intellectual level. And I agree!

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

Maybe the worst Ross in MN? I’m gonna hopefully change this after the renovation, but the land here could be amazing. They obviously have some greens to fix. The tree removal was mostly smart although I really liked some of the trees surround tee boxes and around the 15th/16th.

This was the first golf course that made me think about architecture. Prior to playing MVCC, all I knew were some non-descript minis and a few private clubs that left a lot to be desired. Very unique club, a ton of fun. Not hard but not easy.

Insane amount of play, greens get beat to a pulp because of this and the price is way too damn high for it to not get better conditions, yet I love the layout. Will play once a year, get disappointed by the worst driving range ever and watch my ball fly over a bunch of pitch marks on every putt…

Owned by Three Rivers Park District, always in great shape. Back nine is very penal which decreases some of the enjoyment and causes pace issues.

Condition and pace are the only knocks on this course. Greens get beat to crap because they host 2 corporate events a week. It does seem like they are starting to fill ball marks with sand which could be a big development.

Great condition, love the front nine. I think most of the back nine is uninspiring to outright not good. Very swampy and penal.

The busiest golf course in the state of Minnesota. They have two leagues a day, five days a week. The course routing isn’t anything to write home about. A little ho-hum and the back nine has all the intrigue. Greens are secretly diabolical though.

Bunker renovations and green expansion have upped the thoughtfulness and variability. Lots of runoffs and interesting green complexes. Can often play firm and fast which is a rarity around the cities. Probably the most underrated public in the metro area…
