Wonderful course on the bluff above Duluth. It’s a municipal that gets a lot of love and has plenty of challenge. Mostly, it is uncomplicated, so many of your off target shots will just give you a more “interesting” next shot. Greens has been aerated a few weeks before but were healing well and I had to adjust to the speed (faster than they looked).
Check the scorecard for length, you might want to play the back tees (or at least start there if you are a long driver.) Par threes are mostly around 180 from the whites, and the par 5s are in the 500’s.
Being a municipal, a single like me got paired with a couple of other regulars, and that made for a great round. There are lots of doglegs (mostly left, I thought) and it was nice to have someone give me a line.
The on-line reservation system is not always cooperative, but you can reserve by phone. The team in the pro-shop is the best, very friendly and helpful.
Could not have asked or gotten more from a round of golf. There are 27 holes, all of them...
   Read moreThis course is unfortunately frustrating to go to. Built on top of rock so don't expect luscious fairways, greens seem to always be in poor condition, the range is hit or miss for good condition, plus bugs everywhere in the afternoon. In addition to the range being in a near constant state of disrepair, the balls are incredibly expensive compared to other courses like Nemadji, about twice the price.
I've heard this course is supposed to be getting a major overhaul in the next few years, I hope it happens and this course becomes more playable as I live nearby and think the scenery is absolutley gorgeous.
Course aside, the staff is generally friendly but sometimes seem distracted talking to each other while customers line up.
In my opinion, if you're looking to golf in the area there are plenty of other courses around that are less expensive and have higher quality turf. If all you care about is the location then have at it, but I would recommend Nemadji over Enger Park any day...
   Read moreI drove up from the Twin Cities this past weekend to play Enger Park Golf Course and was pleasantly surprised by the shape it was in. From what I understand, they recently installed a new irrigation system, so the course is still recovering a bit, but overall it was in great condition. The greens rolled true and were fantastic.
When I first arrived at the range, I met Sam, who was working on the ball machine. He was extremely friendly, and we had a great conversation. I later learned he’s the Assistant Manager, and he even came out during my round to check in and see how things were going. That kind of hospitality is rare in the big cities and honestly made the experience stand out, it gave the whole visit a welcoming, small-town feel that would make me come back again.
The course itself has tons of character with stunning views of Lake Superior and the St. Louis River. Overall, Enger Park is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable...
