| Review Summary:
Fun place to play Monday thru Friday noon. On the weekends its a
killer...5 1/2 hour rounds. Why.. no starter and the rangers don't enforce
fast play. |
| Conditions:
Course is well maintained. Lots of
trees to test your skill. Rough is a non factor except for native grass
areas. Water comes in play on three holes, 3, 10 and 14. First timers will
have trouble with holes 11 and 13. Drive up a take a look or it will cost
you a stroke or two. |
| Scenery:
Nothing
really noteworthy as terrain is relatively flat on the front nine but has
more character on the back nine with rolling terrain. Bellwood Pines would
seem more appropriate than Bellwood Oaks. |
| Layout: There
is not one extra acre to add to the course so they have done, what I
consider, an admirable job of utilizing every square foot of land in
building this course. It,s fun to play and offers a challenge. Good short
game and you will do well here. |
| Services:
Basically no service provided here. Practice range is available now so
that is a good thing but otherwise your on your own. One last thing...the
food is the worst in all of Minnesota..bring a granola bar for the back
nine. |

| Review Summary:
The best value out there, period. Scenic, well kept course for under $30,
you can't go wrong. |
| Conditions:
Excellent. I was surprised by the
conditions. Rough was fair, the greens were superb and the fairways were
perfect. |
| Scenery:
Great
scenery. Mature trees abound with several scenic views. |
| Layout: Great
layout with an easy walk. There are a few tricky holes and a few where
you can bomb away. Yardage plays long due to the par 73 (Three par 3's).
If you are driving well a good score is there for you, if not, the trees
will get you, though the course is not too tight. |
| Services:
Top notch. Very nice people and the pace of play is perfect. This course
is a must play. |

| Review Summary:
Course was in pretty good shape this early in the year. Seemed crowded
though for the first few holes. Either they let a bunch of groups tee
off one hit after another or the ranger wasn't keeping the slower groups
moving along up ahead? I want to go back and play it again and this
hopefully we won't have to wait 10 min. on every hole to tee off. |
| Conditions:
Very good for being this early in
the year. Greens, fairways and rough looked good. The course was pretty
open with a lot of room for error. |
| Scenery:
Thought it
was pretty good. The pack of dogs that kept barking from some house got
annoying, but overall it was good. |
| Layout: The
layout was bottle-necked starting out, but got better on the back nine. |
| Services:
They could of done a better job of spacing the groups out. We got there
and were ready to tee off 15 mins before our tee time and as soon as we
were half-way down the 1st fairway, there was a group teeing off right
after us. We were right behind a group in front of us so we had to wait
and then play and then wait. Not fun when you like to get into a groove
and just keep a steady pace. |
