The course itself gets 5 stars. Beautiful and well-maintained. Challenging! I would argue it's a bit overpriced though considering the service is average. The bucket of range balls is pretty small which I guess is fine. One of the times I played, the range was mats only. Not really an issue for me except they didn't have tees and I couldn't get a tee into it. Not being able to drive at a range before a round is disappointing.
My biggest issue is the pace of play. I played on a Saturday afternoon and the front 9 was good. Waited a little bit but expected for a nice weekend afternoon. Then comes the back 9. I waited 20 minutes to tee off on 11. I was walking so I literally sat on the grass to the side of the cart path until I could tee off. Each hole after that had a 5-10 minute wait. For a course this expensive and with this much pride, they really need to manage pace of play better. The second time I played it was better but still slow on the back 9.

Really nice links course that is challenging and in really good condition. Great staff on property - probably the best I have experienced in Minnesota's upper echelon properties.

I recently visited Stone Ridge to hit balls at the range, my first time back since I moved away in 2017. I’ve got great memories here, but my experience this time was a major letdown.
The range pricing is baffling. A large bucket of 70 balls costs $21.68, which is actually more expensive per ball than buying small buckets. For less money, you can buy four small buckets (20 balls each) and get 80 balls. That’s the opposite of how bulk pricing should work. Buying more should cost less per unit, not more.
When I pointed this out to the staff, I was met with confusion and condescension. The Head Pro, Mark, compared it to playing 18 holes vs. 9, a comparison that completely missed the point, since 18-hole rounds are cheaper per hole...
Then another staffer topped it off with a sarcastic “Welcome to Stoneridge,” as if being ripped off is just part of the brand.
For range balls, Stone Ridge is charging nearly double what other nearby courses charge (Eagle Valley and White Eagle, to name two), and they don’t even offer a basic bulk discount on range balls. If you’re going to stick with that pricing, at least make it make sense—and maybe coach your staff on how to respectfully handle feedback.

Visiting so had a chance to play. Nice course, played quick 3:20!. Greens and green complexes can be a bit challenging.

Amazing course, Amazing views a fair. But challenging course. Highly recommend trying to play this course. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

The esthetics of the restaurant are nice, I really enjoyed the live music they had, appropriate music selection and volume level, great view of the golf course. I had that chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, my girlfriend had the chicken pecan salad, the food was good. Only improvement I would have is the menu was a little simple, they only had 2 steak options, but overall great restaurant and great staff

Very beautiful golf course. Staff was outstanding from bringing our clubs from our car to a cart, to checking us in, to noon lunch snacks. All great. Course was in great shape and very pretty. Greens had a few ball marks and were super fast. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The forward tees were about 4900 yards which is usually a bit short but with the sand and fescue, it provided ample challenges and was certainly long enough. Carts had GPS and were nice and comfy. Flowers were beautiful. The price is a bit steeper than most public courses in the Twin Cities area but it is lovely. Maybe a special occasion course.

Nice course but ranger Roger was a mess. Would never go back to this place.
