| Review Summary:
I set up a golf outing with 2 friends I haven't seen in a long time and my
dad. I choose Hiawatha because it was as central location in regards to
where the 4 of us live. We were very confused when we got out on the
"course". Apparently, Minneapolis puts pin flags randomly throughout a
large park with a few dirt pits and charges people a lot of money and
call it a golf course. It was by far the worst golf course I have ever
played. Between the dead, bumpy greens, no distinction between the rough
and fairway, and extremely bumpy fairways, the course was unplayable by
most any golfers standards. Will never go back and would never encourage
anyone to ever play there. |
Conditions:
I would have expected conditions
like this in early April, but for the price they are charging full
price, the course was a joke!
No temp greens like a lot of other courses have, but more than half of
the greens were unplayable. Dead spots, very bumpy and slow; maybe 2-3
were in good shape.
The "fairways" were extremely bumpy and rough. You cannot find a level
spon on them anywhere. They have not been manicured in quite some time!
The rough and fairway was the same length and in horrible conditions.
Their "sand traps" are dirt pits, no sand to be found. |
| Scenery:
Along the lake is nice
scenery, otherwise a lot of trees and such expected with a city park. |
| Layout: The
course plays short, only 6600 +/- from the tips. 5 par 5s, par 73 is a
little goofy. Otherwise rather flat with no blind shots and a few
reachable par 4s in the right conditions |
| Services:
Service is par for what the rest of the course has to offer. not very
friendly, but not rude either. Just a few guys bs'n behind the counter. |

| Review Summary:
It was a truly Minnesotan golf experience. Snow was still on the ground
and yet I had the time of my life. Good friends and you could still play
the course. The ground may have been white, and my ball orange, but it was
a blast. They even had hot cocoa waiting for us when we finished. I can't
wait to see what it looks like in the spring. |
| Conditions:
Snowy...but at least we had tee
boxes and flagsticks. |
| Scenery:
The Minnehaha Creek and Lake
Hiawatha...tough to compete with in the metro area. |
| Layout: Good as always. |
| Services:
Hiawatha has a talented and inviting staff that you just can't find at a
country club or even most public courses in the area. |
