An excellent 9-hole course that offers wide, well-manicured fairways and manageable rough allows golfers at any skill level to have an affordable, enjoyable experience. Decent overall length, great use of natural water hazards and some tricky greens make this a course that will provide enough of a challenge to keep better golfers from losing interest.

While the last three holes are beautiful, largely cut out of century old forest, the first six have grown up beautifully over the last few years. Most of the trees that once left dog-legs open to big swingers looking to cut the corner have begun reaching maturity and have really tightened up some of the (previously) easier par-4's. Additionally, the added tree cover serves to cut down on the amount of wind that often whips through the flatlands of western Minnesota, leaving a much more enjoyable experience for walkers or just those looking to enjoy some friendly conversation out on the links.

The only downside to this Joel Goldstrand designed course is that the greens are generally left a bit long, creating a slow putting surface that makes getting in some practice on the putting green a must before you head out to the first tee.

The course is challenging for both beginners and experienced golfers, using Hawk Creek and a couple ponds for great hazards. The greens are among the best in the area, and are always in great shape. All in all, the course is very open, and the roughs are very playable.
