Overview
While Tom Fazio is best known for creating massive landscapes for his designs, Spring Hill required little manipulation of earth. Fazio utilized the existing rolling topography to form what is one of his most natural designs. Holes are isolated from one another by thick forests of evergreens and, in one section of the property, acres of maple trees that provide a brilliant color display each fall. With several tight fairways, marshland along some edges, many uphill approach shots into elevated greens and subtle movements in the putting surfaces, Spring Hill is also one of Fazio’s most challenging designs.

“Tom Fazio design that makes you forget that you are only 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. The holes that work around the marsh are fantastic. Conditioning was great, playing firm and fast."

“Located in Wayzata, Minnesota, 20 mins west of Minneapolis, the private Tom Fazio course opened in 1999. This beautiful, tree lined course is hilly with a lot of variety. Course conditions are supreme. Very scenic with plenty of elevation changes."

“Not your normal Fazio, no frills....just solid golf start to finish. The design uses the up and down contours of the site, in particular the 15th and 16th holes that use dramatic elevation changes. Good variety in terms of what side of the fairways and greens to favor from hole to hole. Seemed to use a lot of the same clubs over and over throughout the round. Wonderful firm & fast conditioning."

“One should jump at any opportunity to play this private course! Minnesota golf at it's finest. If you're a weekend warrior you'll struggle, but if you're a single digit, you'll never want the round to end. Michael Jordan and several Minnesota Vikings are members. The 15th and 16th holes (pictured) are a sample of what you'll find - Immaculate fairways and greens, Up/down, Left/right. You'll constantly be making risk/reward decisions. Spring Hill oozes golf but in a subtle way. After your round you'll know you played a special course."

“A wonderful Tom Fazio layout taking you up/down and left/right through the property. Fantastic collection of par 5's, especially 13 and 16. Good mix of length offering some tantalizing risk/reward shots. No houses on the course and the cart paths are well hidden from most of your views. I could play Spring Hill Golf Club every day. Could possibly use some thinning out of trees."
