The Best Golf in Saint Paul

Birdi Golf

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38)

"When it comes to golf simulators in the Twin Cities region you'll be hard pressed to find any better than those at Birdi.While the strip mall façade makes Birdi easy to overlook, they have ~10 simulators and a sizeable area/bar for those just looking to grab a bite or a drink. The beer list is decent and they have a pretty wide selection of bar food - it's not a dining destination, but it's nice to have options in between swings.Back to what matters - they use GolfZon sims with moving platforms that have realistic tracking. Yes, the courses on offer are somewhat limited and feature a lot of Asian courses locals might not have heard of, but they still lap many of the local competition.Reservations can be booked online, prices are reasonable, parking is ample and service has always been friendly enough. It'll continue to be a place I tee it up at regularly when the weather doesn't allow for golf outside."

New Richmond Golf Club

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Wonderful course, terrific conditions, reasonable pricing and nice staff. Love playing this course. Beautiful old trees, greens that run true and at good speed along excellent conditions make for a great day at the course!"

Lost Spur

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"Lost Spur is a fine course for a Spring warmup round, quick 9, without having to drive too far (just south of the airport). It is similar to many munis in playing conditions (smaller greens, decent fairways, hilly....the land wasn't "managed" to smooth our hills and ravines)...What makes it stand out is 1) the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming and 2) it is under the flight path from MSP so if you are a plane freak like me you can see them directly overhead.The course is a bit hilly....so if you tend to huff and puff up hills, get a cart. If you don't it is fine to walk except for 2 big uphills.Note: I'm not 100% sure if it is actually a muni, but the best way to describe the terrain and playing condition."

The Refuge Golf Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (15)

"I am working a wedding tonight with my husband who is the Dj for the night. I have been to many weddings and I have to say by far the best food I have had at a wedding in awhile!My husband had the ribeye steak, which was huge! I had the walleye and it was as long as my arm. Very generous portions, very flavorful and great sides. Our table was impressed with the food."

Island Lake Golf Course

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"For a golf course being in the city this place is ok. I have been to the putt putt a few times and the kids love it . They don't care that it's not in pristine condition they are just happy to be playing. I am not a big golfer but the location and access off the freeway is perfect. If you want to get a quick game in this is the place to go......."

Loggers Trail Golf Club

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (11)

"First time playing this course and it was worth the drive north. Great value, reasonable greens fees and the course is in great early summer condition. Weekend (Saturday) round was 5 hours but you have to expect that in this area for a public course. A challenging but fair test. We played the blue tees (6500+ yds) and it was a great test. Highlight is a 223 yrd par 3. (17) - into the wind almost a driver. Will be back!"

Cannon Golf Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8)

"First time to this club and very happy with the experience. One thing before I continue. I stopped in as a single and asked if I could get out - alone or with whoever. An hour later, when I was about to ask for a refund, the fellow in the Pro Shop came to and remembered that I was waiting - after an hour of sparse play.Finally did hook up with a couple guys and had a wonderful time. Course has some damaged areas, but over all was in fine shape. Nice maintenance, good pace of play, reasonable price. Could have used a beverage cart on the course as it was about 85* and had a fair amount of players, but....35 minute drive south of St Paul on 52 is within range for a good round, on a quiet course outside the city. Will definitely return, but with a group and a confirmed tee time."

CreeksBend Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (10)

"Love this course, I have been coming here for around 10 years to participate in a golf scramble that my friend hosts. Its in New Prague that is 30 minutes south of Burnsville, so its not terribly too far.There is a lot of variety on the holes here, mixing an even amount of part 3, 4 and 5's. Every hole has character and can be challenging if you don't know how to play it right. Nice clubhouse that has a good size bar and plenty of space for banquets or a small wedding. Because of the isolated location they have great specials during the week."

Emerald Greens Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (12)

"This is a nice municipal style course out on the edge of Hastings. It took me 45 minutes to get to it from Minneapolis. I liked that the course was well maintained, and that it was uncrowded (although I was there early on a weekday in September).It can be walked - the distance between the holes is deceiving because it seems like it should be short but the front/back 9 are patchworked together.It is what it is but the course wasn't super interesting, until the 14th hole (gold course) where there was finally some elevation change and nicer views."

Bristol Ridge Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (10)

"This Course only needs a Ground Crew and head Greens Keeper and a Good Head Pro to make this a Top 5 Course it plays nice but a bit on the easy side ,tee boxes need to be cut a bit shorter and greens need just a little bit of help for the money you cant go wrong!"

Clifton Hollow Golf Club

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Best value for a good challenging and scenic course in the twin cities area. The drinks at the bar are reasonable and the service is always friendly. The greens roll true and are lush. Not your typical beat up overcrowded public course. Stay on Saturday nights for their stone fired pizzas. They are ridiculously tasty. I give this course two thumbs up for service, course conditions, and stone fired pizzas."

Pond's Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (9)

"Great band on Saturday night! Run Lucy Run- awesome drink specials and French fries too. Bartender was friendly and fast!"

Chisago Lakes Golf Course

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"This is a great place to eat with the family. Recently the cook changed and this new one uses different ranch. When he starts making his own or finds a more palatable brand I'll update. The wraps used to be amazing but now the gloopy sweet soybean oil bottled ranch makes me sad. Always great service. Fun little golf hole inside the dining room and a few games for kids to play. Pullies both machine and box. Full bar, several TVs. My husband likes the course-I don't golf so not much help there. I will update if the ranch situation gets sorted out."

Legacy Golf

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (4)

"I like this golf course and I live very near. I asked the guy at the register if they were planning on using militaryteetimes.com again and that I didn't exactly remember the last time I used it. He said they don't use that unless it was years ago. He made it clear that they would not offer discounts to military and the rate with cart is $52.00. So today I just booked on militaryteetimes for The Summit Golf course because I could get on for $20.00. I went to view my reservation and also saw my last reservation for Legacy which was in August just over 9 months ago and my rate was $25.00. I guess the point is that I didn't enjoy feeling like a jerk because I asked about military rates. Just because I look for discounts doesn't make me a bad person and I've never felt that anyone should be obligated to offer me discounts. If I can get an extra round or two in because I'm watching my spending then great!"
