Golf Zone

I’ve been going to Golf Zone for the last couple of years and have loved seeing how much it’s improved—especially since they added the ball tracers. It’s a great spot to get some practice swings in or meet up with a friend to play one of the tracer games. The beers and pizza are an awesome addition, too! Recently, I rented their meeting room for my company’s annual business planning meeting, and it was fantastic. We kicked things off with a round of mini golf, then used the business space for our planning session, and wrapped it all up with the whole team hitting the range. It was the perfect business outing, and we’re already planning to come back next year for the same thing. Highly recommend—5 stars all the way!

Much to our surprise, Big Bear had a lot to offer. For a family with teenagers and adult children. The entire indoor space is themed around Minnesota woods and is well landscaped with faux pine trees, rocks, and rivers. We also happened to play Big Bear on New Year’s Day and it was decorated nicely for the holidays The theme is subtle, but as you play the course and read the titles of each hole (Northern Lights, Bear Paw, Walleye, Snail, etc.), everything starts to come together. What really sets this course apart from many that we’ve played are some of the clever hole designs. For example, the shape of Bear Paw looked just like a bear paw, Big Bear is definitely worth the long trip out to the deep burbs and I especially recommend it to anyone with kids. We made the 44 minutes one way drive from Elk River.

Was put into a stall that was too close to one of the heating elements. No warnings, notice or protection was installed to prevent it from damaging my new driver. It clearly has been hit a few times and seems like the facility just doesn’t care to prevent it from happening.
