Just a short drive from the Twin Cities, Bristol Ridge Golf Course is a championship course that is conveniently located for a getaway that doesn't involve too much of a time investment. The rolling terrain provides a good amount of challenge while also being player friendly enough for beginners. The tree-lined fairways tumble across the natural contours of the land, which also helped determine the strategic placement of the bunkers. Despite being quite hilly, the golf course is pleasantly walkable. There are also water hazards that come into play on a few holes. The well conditioned greens provide smooth, fast putting surfaces. Each hole has a different character and most are anything but straightforward. Bristol Ridge Golf Course's 11th hole is short but memorable with an almost-island green, surrounded by water on three sides.

Easy drive from St. Paul, enjoyable course

Very enjoyable course. Not to challenging yet requires some level of thought and planning. I like the layout, the length and design. Have played this course probably 20 times and find it fun and relaxing each time.

First Time Playing

Great course with challenging features...

This course is in great condition, with greens that are fast yet fair. This course rewards you for staying in the fairways and makes you pay if you spray it off the tee. This is a challenging yet fair course, with the best bang for your buck. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Nicest Course Ive Ever Played

This course is so peaceful and has great visuals. I've paid upwards of 200 dollars per round at other courses and none of them seem as nice as this place, NO KIDDING! The greens are fast and true, the fairways are plush, and they have great twilight rates.

Good value. Unique course.

While this course is rather long with a few par 4's exceeding 440 yards it is well designed and fun to play. I went early in the year and the course was in pretty good shape. With the hot deal of the week I only paid $32 for two people and a cart to golf all 18 holes.

Beautiful wooded course.

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition for this early in the year. There are some blind tee shots, but the approach shots to greens are clear and scenic. Challenges are: undulating fairways and greens, heavy woods line many holes, minimal bunkers, and water on 7-9 holes.

One of my 5 favorite courses.

The course is in excellent condition for this early in the year as it was all last summer. Challenging yet fair to all skill levels. Worth the drive just to enjoy the beautiful rolling and heavily wood landscape. Don't miss playing this gem.
