THIS COURSE IS A REAL GEM! It had been 20 years or so since I last played it, so I didn't really recall what it was like. I played it again today, Sept. 24, 2025, and am very impressed. Its a beautiful layout with really nice scenery, and the fairways and undulating greens are in very good condition!
As for difficulty, I would rate it as quite challenging. There are several par 4 holes that are 400+ yards from the white tees, including no. 1. So be ready to drive the ball well, or play the shorter green tees, as we did today, or even the red tees. Fairways are narrower, but not super narrow. Greens are fairly fast and not the easiest to read or putt, so be prepared. My twosome played in a quick three hours, even though we had to wait on several holes.
My only very minor complaint might be that the green tees often rendered holes too short. Positioning them more between the white and red tees, rather than close to the reds, is something I think would make the course better.
But all in all, a very nice hidden gem north of the Twin Cities about an hour or so. Very easy to reach just off Highway 169, and worth the drive for those looking for a challenging course in great condition not too far off the beaten path. Its also reasonably priced, and even cheap of you use a Groupon or the MN Golf card as we did. TWO THUMBS UP FOR STONES THROW GOLF COURSE! 👍🏼👍🏼

This course is the best value in the area. Beautiful course, well maintained with scenic fairways winding through the woods along the river. About the only complaint we have was the greens were too hard, but that just could be our putting.

Just got done golfing 18 at this course with 3 friends and the ranger sat behind us on 4 of the last 9 holes and told us to hurry up when nobody was behind us and when we complained to the clubhouse about it they wouldn't even listen to us and told us to leave. One in our group used the bathroom and after on his way out of clubhouse both the ranger and clubhouse manager were laughing about the incident. Will not come back. Terrible customer service.
