Review

“Overwatered and unimaginative. The greens are flat with rarely a contour to them unless they were there to section off different part of the green. Most of the holes are straight with bunker placements in the rough to catch miss hits. There are no bunkers that offer any sort of risk/reward for taking them on. It's amazing that this course was designed by the same architect as the Quarry. MN is going through an immense drought currently and this course was soft and lush. They had hoses set up to water the already lush rough. Soft fairways and greens left muddy balls and no roll."
