| Review Summary:
This course is my favorite in Duluth. Not very long, but it makes you
think alot, and does have the longest hole in Duluth (#2). Has the
only complete water hole in Duluth (#17). It is a par 70, and the
back nine is (in my opinion) a little easier in my opinion, even
though it is a par 36. Overall a great course, and beats both the
public courses in Duluth, and comes close to Northland Country Club. |
| Conditions:
Great, except the fairways have a few
rough spots. |
| Scenery: Feels
like you are in the mountains, with all of the rolling hills. |
| Layout: Very
good, feels like you are in the mountains. Each hole feels like its
own, even if it is next to another hole. |
| Services:
Great, especially the food. |

| Review Summary:
This course is always fun, the greens are great, the fairways could
use some work, but even though it's a short course, it can EAT YOU
UP!!! I have always loved the hills here, and if you can get on #2 in
two shots as I did in their Invitational last year, you are doing
something right!! |
| Conditions:
Superb! Great greens
ALWAYS, especially around the end of July (Invite). The fairways seem
to have trouble usually, but that doesn't take away from the course
too much... |
| Scenery: The
hills are great, and even though this course is built on little land,
you feel like you're in your own world on every hole! |
| Layout: Hilly,
challenging, stay below the pin! |
| Services:
The best in town...private service, but public feel from the members
and staff |

| Review Summary:
Very good course though it was private. Though there was no views of Lake
Superior, you felt like you were in the mountains. The 17th hole was
very cool as it required a shot over water (only full water hole in
Duluth) and over a waterfall to a green between the waterfall and the
water making it feel magic. Also, the longest hole in Duluth (591
yards). |
| Conditions:
It was in good shape
though not different to any public course in the area. The greens are
very FAST. |
| Scenery:
Very nice
but no Lake Superior view. |
| Layout: Very
well, some variety but the 10th hole is a par 3 (kind of weird to start
with a par 3). |
| Services:
Very good. |

| Review Summary:
The course is my favorite course in Duluth. I like how the holes are
layed out. The only bad thing is there is no view of Lake Superior. But
it feels like you are in mountains with the rolling hills surrounding
the course. My favorite hole in Duluth is also here (17) which is the
only real water hole in Duluth. This is actually an easy course (in my
mind the easiest of the big four: Northland, Enger Park, Lester Park,
and Ridgeview). Oh and if you golf here, prepare to walk (this course is
the very tiring including a lot of elevation change). I wish it was a
public course. |
| Conditions:
Good conditions. It
is not a 5 star course in terms of shape but keep in mind it has to make
it through the rigid and cold Duluth winters. |
| Scenery:
Great
except no lake views. |
| Layout: My
favorite layout in Duluth. |
| Services:
Outstanding. I love their food. |
