Minnesota Golf Course

Minnesota Golf Course and Country club is set in where else...the Midwest! More specifically it is on the Chippewa River as it empties into a fictional lake near my hometown in Minnesota...The course sets up long and in some cases tight, but overall it isn't a claustrophobic experience. I spent a lot of time trying to set up scenic views, aligning the pano to give glimpses of the sunset. The evening is my favorite time to play at my home course and on the river with the marshes and ravines the sun makes the greatest colors and shadows. The greens are small and firm, a challenge to hit to say the least. The rough is short and "dry" feeling, especially the first two cuts. It isn't a huge problem to miss a fairway, as long as it doesn't leave you behind a tree or rock! As with my home course, it is important to know where you can play to get members kicks and where to miss to get the best chip or angle. A good short game is crucial as sometimes hitting at the green in general can be a bad idea. Local knowledge will be key.
