The course is in great shape because of the hard work grounds crew. The City of Minneapolis Must give this crew all the tools they need to be successful at this historic golf course. It appeared that some sprinklers by tee boxes weren’t working, you could see where the water wasn’t reaching, we are very dry & they need water to make the course play better.
About Hiawatha Golf Course
Hiawatha Golf Course is a historic and valuable asset to the South Minneapolis community. This city course offers 9 or 18 holes of play, though some greens may be under repair. While the course is not perfectly maintained, it is still a fun and affordable option for beginners and offers a pleasant layout. The roughs are challenging, with long grass that can lead to lost balls. Afternoon and weekend play can be slow, but twilight prices are hard to beat.
This family-friendly course has a lot of character and fairly patient members. It gets wet easily and can be buggy in high summer, yet it features gorgeous views of the Wisconsin landscape. The staff is kind, and the carts are in good shape. Tournaments are always fun here, making it a great place to play. While scratch golfers might not find a high level of challenge, the course remains a fun track overall. Sunset photos taken here show just how beautiful it can be.
Reviews
As a new golfer I really appreciate the kindness of all the staff I've interacted with here. Been to the driving range a couple times and the front 9 during evening hours to save that $$. Will definitely be back, thanks!
Greens were in decent condition. We booked 2 tee times and played 5 golfers with approval from pro shop. On hole 15 we had a ranger come up to us saying we were going too slow and the 2 some behind us (2 tee times behind) called and complained. Then on hole 16 we had another incredibly rude worker fly up to us and slam the brakes on his cart, with an incredibly unnecessary attitude to us threatening to kick us off the course over our pace of play. We finished 18 and was back at our car in less than 4 hours. Totally unreasonable to be treated that way over pace of play when 5 golfers finished in under 4 hours.
