Roll Call: Minnesota Part 2 - SIM MEETUP post 9471

I haven’t been there in decades so I don’t really know if the course is any good, but from what I remember of the general layout I’d describe it as a nicer Eagle Valley.

I’m not married to the area, just giving context to where I’ll be sleeping. I am free as a bird, man.

I should play from 5900 yds more often…

Let me know your thoughts on Prestwick. Only course in Woodbury area I havent gotten on mainly due to $$. Eagle Valley is nice, Prestwick I hear is the C Suite of the two, looking forward to your thoughts.

honestly. when i played there a month ago. greens were so slick it was astonishing. i bet it does a number on their pace of play. the price is a joke. but its year 3 (?) of the covid golf boom, and it aint lettin up……

Prestwick is pretty awesome. Rates got jacked up last couple years but it’s fairly priced. Greens are dialed for sure. Can hit it anywhere off the tee but yes greens get running hot but are pure. Great clubhouse and patio as well. Easy walk too.

This is pretty spot on. It’s nice, but not worth what they charge.

1 more vouch for Headwaters. Play it once every Spring and Fall and it’s definitely more fun later in the year when they start bringing those greens to the brink.

Can be pretty tight on the front so hopefully your 3w is still hottt.

Anyone played Grand National up @ Grand Casino Hinckley? Going to a wedding up there in a few weeks wondering if it’s worth getting out the Saturday morning after.

I enjoyed the course. There are some mediocre holes but also some very good holes, and the price is pretty reasonable too (at least it was a couple of years ago). It’s certainly worth a play if you are in the area.

If it’s in decent condition, I really enjoy it. They’ve had struggles with their greens in the past but I haven’t been there for 2 years

You are a gentleman and a scholar! No driver still do the 3w has been putting in overtime. Shameless plug Fairway Hanks bro does club fitting! I need to get in to get a driver fitting with him.

Thanks lads. Yeah with a rack rate of $69 (nice) with a cart it seems like a good option.

I just scored the day off on Friday, anyone want to play with a time before noon in the cities?

I drove by blueberry pines on the way to itasca last year. Looked like a really cool piece of ground! If I wasn’t with so many non-golfers, I would’ve pulled in for a closer look. It seems like there’s a lot of rolling sandy land in that region?

Welcome @pistol_pete

What part of the state are you from?

When it’s hot as hell outside, what’s your drink of choice?

Glad to be here. I’ve been putting off joining the refuge for far too long.

Born and raised in the west metro. When the sun is pounding, I’ll ask for the cart girl’s coldest beer. not too picky.
