Played Columbia Golf Course for the first time. I’m pretty new to golf, so the narrow fairways made it a real challenge—you’ve gotta keep it straight or it’ll punish you quick. But honestly, that’s half the fun. Price wasn’t bad either, especially with a cart.
I’ve lived in Minneapolis my whole life and somehow never made it out here before. I’m usually just at the driving range, but the course itself was beautiful and well worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back to give it another shot.
Pros: Good course design. Each hole felt unique.
Cons: Slow play, no ranger. Some holes were in pretty rough shape. Had to have carts in 45 minutes before sunset so we didn't get to finish our round. Expensive for city course.
I’ve been a resident of Minneapolis for 30 years 15 years downtown and now 15 years one block from Columbia golf course and I will say one of the main reasons my wife and I moved here was because of this golf course and park area.
It is the best of the 5 Minneapolis courses, and for the golfers who believe they are single handicap, this course will quickly humble you.
Joe runs a tight ship at this course and it is maintained extremely well for a city course or for any course really in the metro area.
I would say definitely come out and play this course and give it a try, But that would be a lie because that would just be another Tee time I can’t get😐 All...read full review
