We went with one of our buddies who is battling some health issues with his wife and needed to get out of the house. We had a great time and the course was in super shape. Greens were in excellent shape and we didn't have any wait time on any hole. It was a first time at the course for one member in...

This is a big man s course playing from the back tees (7000 plus yds). Very scenic but extremely challenging as some holes required precision drives (like #12,13 & 14). Greens were running pretty fast considering it just rained. Fairways are good but bunkers are a mess due to Covid-19.

Bring lots...

Premier challenge! We played the Championship 18 today. Mostly long and slightly kinked 200+ blues, 4 500+, good size greens, a few very challenging, some long and wide open, as well as some bends, bunkers, water, alleys and a handful of deep drops, which means carts and downhill speed bumps - unle...

Great course. Narrow, back nine is very tough. Keep it straight and you can score really well. Drainage was terrific, you could hardly tell it has rained so much the last few days. Staff was helpful and fun to chat with. Definitely will be back to play again. Tee boxes were a little beat up from p...

The Summit Golf Club was suggested to us by a golfing buddy who had been there and said it was beautiful. He was correct, this is one beautiful golf course. Very reasonable rates, friendly staff, and it's obvious they take pride in their facilities.
There is quite a mix of challenging and less dema...

I had a blast today at this course. The scenery is incredible and the elevation changes on the back nine are spectacular. It s good to take a cart :-)
Even though the greens had been punched recently, they rolled true and quick. The fairways were beautiful. I really appreciate how well the course w...

If only people could see how the owners and new management company handle their business. Very unprofessional and un-trust worthy. This golf course is struggling to stay open and it's not a wonder why with Nate Cardin and Sandy Whitworth running it. The Summit and Southern Hills are two golf courses...

Staff members were professional and personable.

The course was in phenomenal shape and the greens were rolling true being this early in the season. Front 9 is pretty straightforward and the back 9 your just trying to keep it in the short stuff!

The Summit is Always a fun test of your game!

Bent grass which is always nice and especially for the price. Nice easy starting hole...then it slowly ramps up with a very difficult closing 6 holes. Nice use...

Course was in excellent condition from the tee boxes to the greens, even the sand traps were good as I managed to visit several. As noted by another reviewer the "clubhouse" is more like a starter's shack with just the basics to eat and be forewarned on Monday there was no beverage cart and there wa...

What a cool golf course. The easier front nine still needs some thought into shot selection and conditions were great. Once you get to the fourteenth hole you want to strap in, switch from the Pro V s to the Top Flites, and get ready for this place to smack you around a bit.

Great conditioning,...

The course is gorgeous! It was in great condition when I played there this morning. They have a very friendly staff. Not much of a selection for food, though.

I would recommend playing a few rounds there every year. It's worth the 30 minute or so drive from the metro.

I loved this course. Front 9 is straight forward and in the open area, but some of the holes in the back 9 are in the woods and extremely tough. No. 13 is the signature hole and is stunning. You must be able to hit your drive straight or you will hate those holes. Fairways are nice, rough is not tha...

The course has 16 really great holes. The 14th and 15th holes are poorly designed. The front nine is relatively flat and includes a hole built into a small quarry. The back nine has significant elevation changes. Walkers must be able to manage extended up and downhill terrain.

Summit is an interesting course, and probably the most challenging that I play. Kind of a links style from holes 1 through 11. 12 through 18 is where the score is made with lots of elevation changes and just plain trouble everywhere. Course puts money in the course. Not the clubhouse. Always in exce...

Great value. Front 9 is very good from a golf perspective. Back 9 is more scenic with a lot more elevation changes. Hole 13 has about a 200ft drop off the tee. Holes 14 and 15 are terrible designs but I play the course at least twice a year bc of the value. I highly suggest taking a riding cart for ...

Hidden gem in Minnesota and not too far from the twin cities. Great layout, with a flatter front 9 and big elevation changes on the back 9. Challenging from the back tees at over 7000 yards. Very well manicured and maintained. Props to the maintenance crew.

Price was reasonable, especially for Seniors.
The front nine is fairly open. Back nine has many elevations, narrow and dog legged fairways. Play this course to the 150 markers or you won't see the greens. Rough is very "rough" with too many weeds. Sand traps have not been serviced at all, unpla...

Played early November. Fairways and greens were in pretty good shape but the bunkers were ATROCIOUS. They were so full rocks and overgrown with weeds that they were unplayable - we decided to give ourselves a free drop out of any sand. Inexcusably, these bunkers had clearly not been attended to in a...

This course has been consistently in great shape for the past 3 years that I've played it. Their twilight rate is unbeatable and starts at 2 pm which makes this a great option for me being a college student. Would highly recommend playing here!

The front 9 is very nice and pleasant. Then the back 9 comes into play. Wow! What a challenging course. I am a pretty decent golfer but this course ate 8-10 of my balls. Will definitely be back to try my hand at losing less balls and improving my play.

Had a nice time at a really fun course to play. Beautiful setting and a course that can, at times, be a challenge. The front nine is nicely set on the top of the plateau and the back nine is worked into the valleys. The 13-17th holes are beautifully worked into the landscape and among the most chall...

Summit offers a much different feel from it's HWY 52 counterpart (Cannon Golf Club) and is a very entertaining course. It has the classic straight-forward holes but mixes well with undulating and bending holes. Two great courses in close vicinity.
