| Review Summary:
Decent course in Eagan, offers a good driving range. Advertises as "the
first to open and the last to close." This is an executive course, par
63, with 10 par 3's and one par 5. Ample parking. Availability to rent
electric carts and pull carts. |
| Conditions:
Tee boxes and fairways in good
condition for this early in the season, however, the greens were very
rough and need some work. |
| Scenery:
Lots of
mature trees along the fairways. A nice good-looking course. Since there
are water hazards on this course there were a lot of geese around. Watch
were you walk! |
| Layout: A
good variety within the course, even with the par 3's. You'll need a lot
of the shots in your bag, while still being a very playable course. |
| Services:
Staff was nice and friendly. Adequate placement of bathroom facilities on
the course. |

| Review Summary:
An excellent golf course. Well kept, great for the average golfer.
Anyone with a 250 drive might find this course a little short. For the
price, you can't beat it. |
| Conditions:
Well kept. Even during the dry
spell, watering made things green. Well groomed, I always see someone
mowing or doing other maintenance. Greens tend to play fast, but
overall, one of the nicest kept public courses I have seen. |
| Scenery:
Mature
scenery. A course that has age. Trees are fully grown. A variety of
trees leads to a variety of interesting plays. Bunkers could be a little
nicer (maybe just some new sand), but still well kept. |
| Layout: As
an executive course (par 63), it is shorter than most. This allows for
the average golfer to have a great time. On middle of the ground holes
(210 yards), they play as a par 3 for some, and 4 for the less
experienced. This allows everyone to have a good time, and even those
who are not experts to get a par now and then. Layout provides a range
of challenges. Greens could be a little more interesting (for the most
part, fairly flat), and a few more hills on the course in general would
be nice, but they definitely did the best they could with the piece of
land they were working with. |
| Services:
Always a drink vendor driving around who is very personable and friendly.
The staff is great and accommodating. They will do anything to make sure
you have the best experience possible. |

| Review Summary:
This golf course is set up very nicely. Good bunker and tree placements.
I really enjoy the value. |
| Conditions:
Decent faraway conditions, with
some missing grass, but over all they are pretty good. The tee boxes on
the par 3's are dirty, with little grass, but the driver holes are fine.
The bunkers are very firm, with almost no fluffy sand. The greens are
great in spring, fast in the summer, and covered in leaves in the fall. |
| Scenery:
I enjoy all
of the trees that are around the course, and the long prairie grass. |
Layout: Great
layout. You don't need to walk far at all to get to the next tee box.
Great hazard placements. |
| Services:
Awesome service, with a great teaching pro. They are really nice and
friendly. Good Jr. price. |
