Reviews of The Wilds Golf Club (Golf)

What a wonderful course. Not too hard and definitely not too easy. The pub has top notch food and the prices were lower than expected. Every staff member I encountered made me feel at ease. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the men's locker room. Whoa! De-funk that place; soon. I know it's a locker room but I've been in gym locker rooms that smell better.

Shanna Savageau

Beautiful venue! I attended a wedding there. The only unfortunate part were the staff. Not once did I see any of them smile or act friendly. They just ran around looking frazzled and yelled at people to move places. Not the greatest experience

Jeff Meyers

Beautiful location for reception. Private bar set up in the room with large patio overlooking the 18th green. Food was excellent. We had a small steak, chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes, and green beans. All were prepared very well and served at a good temperature and we were the last table to get our food! About a quarter of the staff seemed to have better things to do. In particular, one of the bartenders made you feel like you were bothering her every time you went up. Her tip jar proved it out; the other bar tender was great and had a jar full of cash on his side.

Brian Ekart

Great course and friendly staff!

Dustin Thompson

Great practice facility, great greens, worth the price!!

Justin Breems

We were here for a wedding, very nice room with spacious and clean banquet room and the food was great!

Paul Yelder

better bring your straight shots for this golf course or you easily run through a bunch of balls

Kathy Berken

Was there for an awards dinner. The room was beautiful with a view to the golf course. The food was great. It was everything you'd expect from a country club or upscale restaurant.

Joy Edobor

Great.

Skip Schaeffer

Great Sunday brunch buffet! Great Santa and ambience for pix with the kids before Christmas.

BJ Weness

Great golf course in excellent condition!!

Michael Menges

Nice staff.

Joseph Hennen

Beautiful course great service

char hatfield

Our food was great, the best fish fry ever!!! Choices were plentiful and displayed so nicely. Our server Roxanne was so nice and always right there when we needed something. I would rate our experience as a "10".

Ryan Kukla

Great course and an even better staff. Elevation changes on almost every hole, but plays extremely fair throughout the round. They do have very fast greens, so make sure you get there early and take advantage of the range balls that are included with the greens fees.

Nate Ross

Course was in great condition

a beautiful place for a wedding!

Andrew Nyhus

Still a great course!

Brandon Hageman

Great course. Lacked some maintenance in the bunkers and on the greens, but a great place to play.

Brent Ott

Great staff

Jim K

The Shakopee High School band banquet was here. Great facility, great food and great staff. Thank you!

Todd Lundquist

Very nice. Staff was hard to identify as some of them wore different uniforms. The dinner was awesome. Kudos to the kitchen!

John O'Sullivan

Beautiful course

Anthony Bilyeu

Amazing condition for the first day open

John Mousseaux

Fantastic venue! Always pleased

Simon Kallal

Love this place. Great championship track.

Brian Johanneck

Expensive but worth every penny. I've played all the courses in the cities area including Minnetonka CC, Wyzata CC, Chaska towncourse, Hazeltine, etc. I played Wilds for the first time last weekend and it is one of my favorites. Great mix of holes, very fair, and in excellent condition. The only knock would be all the houses lining the fairways. But all in all a great golfing experience.

US Pokemaster

Always a great brunch

Mark Annexstad

The entire golf staff from the pros to the attendents at the bag drop are outstanding.

Craig Nichols

Nice golf course. Maybe a little high priced for the experience, but the course was in good condition and layout was good.

Matt Nistler

Was there for a tournament. It was a nice course and had a lot of fun playing there.

Sebastian Rose

trashy food. even trashier golf course.

Dean Dahlen

Well kept and fun to play

Michael Latz

Excellent Practice Area - Real Turf, Bunker, Unlimited Balls all day, able to work on everything in your bag as much as you want

John timmerman

Great views on the cities

Brian Lathe

Was here to see Fourth of July Fireworks. Lots of mosquitos.

Alec W. Fischer

Oh my was that a fun round! $30 twilight - course was completely empty. Extremely challenging and everything in great shape. No GPS tho for a premium course.. questionable but still a great time!

Mike Edwards

Beautiful and challenging course. First time there and wish I paid more attention to the "cheat sheet" starter provided. Many blind tee shots that seemed well put, to find out they were not :). ONLY complaint were most of the par 3 boxes were in rough shape. Not sure if they had tournaments out there days prior. Very minor complaint.

Tom Muralt

To many blind holes, overpriced

Mark Esslinger

Excellent golfing

TJ Ole

The guy taking tee times (Marty) is extremely rude. Just tried making a tee time and he was so rude, that we will be golfing elsewhere. Probably not the person you want making a first impression. We will take our money elsewhere.

Gary Sather

Went for a wedding which overwhelmed the only bartender. Could have had more help. Beer selection OK, amenities nothing special for a bar in a higher end golf course.

Craig Nichols

Nice golf course. Maybe a little high priced for the experience, but the course was in good condition and layout was good.

vincent saruria

Good

Caleb Fisher

By far my favorite course in the Twin Cities. It's always in perfect condition.

Mike Sonen

The food was mediocre and overpriced

David Wilson

An artistically beautiful establishment with a staff that just puts the icing on the cake!

Mark Henjum

Great parking. Food is awesome.

Jim Zagaros

Fun wedding

Jon Boorom

Horrible customer service. I didn't feel welcome

nicholas dale

Gray golf course

Fundraiser went well lot of fun

Kyle R

Extremely well kept course! Very fun!

Matt Nistler

Was there for a tournament. It was a nice course and had a lot of fun playing there.

Kelsey Hamil

Nice place for a wedding.

Shaun Peterson

The course is WAAAY too expensive for what you get. There is no way this place should be charging $100 (with cart) for a weekday round. There are other course to play that are just as good for 1/2 the price. The grounds were well kept, but the sand traps needed work..And there are way too many of them. The place also had that "wanna-be country club vibe". If they didn't know you, you are not treated well. I did like the "free" range they provide and the practice green was well kept. Overall, the Mystic Lake course is a far better value. I will not be returning.

Jason Oberle

Staff was great.

Heather Wachlin

We went here for brunch. The food was wonderful. Definitely would recommend.

Andrew Roper

This course is immaculate! It's a challenging course for the casual golfer, but not too difficult that I'd shy away from it if that description fits you. The service at the pro shop and bar were spot on. No GPS on the carts, bring your range finder or golf course friendly watch for distances.

Mina Times

Meh

DumbSeries TV

Wonderful

Kevin Cotter

Nice course, small pro shop with overpriced goods only catering to a sliver of the population playing there. They have a bunch of young inexperienced pros hanging out, and they do some stuff like Jr golf lessons, otherwise they stand around air-swinging and looking pretty. The course is nice, the course grew does a fine job. The restaurant, is very nice. Sunday brunch is great, and holiday brunches are even better.

natalie myers

Absolutely Fantastic! Great food, friendly and attentive customer service. Good quality fresh food at a great price. Everyone; including 4 children and 5 adults raved about the food. I've never been to a buffet where absolutely every food item was a hit, even our picky eaters went back for 2nds and thirds as well as tried new things. Our family definitely recommends The Wilds Buffet Brunch; we will certainly be coming back!

Terry Becker

Not the beauty it once was, but it was worth the $62 I paid

Matthew Joynt

The Sunday brunch buffet was subpar. Probably one of the worst I've been to. I expected more.

Pjk04

We reserved a table for 10:30 got in at 11

Heather Buchholz

Great brunch

Heather Wachlin

We went here for brunch. The food was wonderful. Definitely would recommend.

bow one

The course is in pretty good shape; tees, greens, and fairways are solid. The tourney food was very good. As always the service was great!

Donald Regan

This and TPC Scottsdale are my favorite Weiskopf/Morrish designed courses. Great course, and gorgeous club house.

Karen Warren

The course was in great shape. Not impressed at all with the golf pro or his staff. There are a lot of nice courses to play where you aren't treated poorly.

Connor Lund

Me expensive than it should be. Decent course, but not great.

Nick Preese

It was a good course, but is going downhill. The views are great still.

Alyssa Bates

Absolutely beautiful golf course!

Evan Jones

Great golf course and nice club house

Michael Soderberg

Great track that was in wonderful shape. Amazing staff golf pro staff! Great brunch!

deanna hogan

Very nice wedding venue. Staff was fantastic!!

david brown

Great place to golf Great rate also

Danielle Metcalf

Beautiful place

Ali Bukari

Great place for gathering

Aaron S

Good food. Great golf.

Robert Paulson

Course was not in great shape and the staff was condescending minus a couple people since we weren't regulars at the course. The ranger who worked that day was a complete A-hole. They have a rule that we weren't clearly explained about carts that aren't allowed within 100 yards of the green even though we always were parked in the rough about 50 yards from the green. He treated us like we weren't worthy to play at their course but yet he didn't do anything to a group of walkers that made our back nine last 3 hours. There were literally 3 groups piled up on each tee box because of this slow play. The ranger was condescending and rude to us about a BS rule infraction and didn't do anything to speed up the pace of play. Also the cart staff kids were in your face looking for tips even after we said "no thanks" for their help. The price you pay is ridiculous for the treatment we had and the not so great shape the course was in. Go somewhere cheaper and more laid back like Stonebrooke or somewhere else. You will enjoy your time much more.

Cheryl Trout

Great buffet even better service

David Ludowese

I love the "pay the temp" tee time offer. Course was in amazing shape for it being early into the season. Greens were quick, but I barely noticed any ball marks (thank you to my fellow golfers for taking care of your marks). Staff was amazing, the gals loaded the carts as we checked in and wiped the clubs off after the round. Beverage cart came around every 3-4 holes. Wonderful experience.

Rebecca Miniscalco

Neat course. Visited for an event being hosted here. Only complaint about the event was the food did not measure up to what we paid for dinner. I'm not sure if it was food regularly served at the club, or if it was brought in for the event, but it was NOT worth staying for dinner.

David Whiteman

Tough but fair course. Great shape this year. Look for Friday night specials.

Eli Kenyone

Celebrating my sons 18th birthday was great at the Wilds. Course course was in great shape except the sand traps were horrible..no sand

Peter Wasko

Nice facility for the wedding. The dinner was great!

Tony Kahle

Went there for a wedding for Katie niece this past june

David Janisch

Very nice place.

Pete Earp

Great layout, good options for yardage depending on skill. I just wish the bunkers were a little better. Great course overall.

Erin Towey

Service was magnificent, the buffet had a great selection and everything tasted wonderful. We went golfing afterwards and the community/course is well kept and was a very pleasant place to spend my day.

Coleman Elliott

Gorgeous course with great greens and just as good of fairways . Some beautiful tee shots and nice landscaping and some holes that really make you feel in the wild. Large practice facility that runs along the semi private entrance.

Josh Moe

Minnesota's Crown Jewel is a hidden gem. Staff is very attentive. The golf course is challenging yet fair and in amazing condition. The bar is fun, drinks are good and the menu is first class. If you are looking for an opportunity to have a full golfing experience the Wilds is the place.

Linda Williamson

Their food has really improved! On Friday night during Off Season they have all the Prime Rib you can eat and it is great with mashed potato with fixings, salad and bread pudding for dessert. Their Pub is really good and so is their Sunday Brunch!

Sheri Luhring

Was there for a business meeting, chicken they served was awesome!!

robert letofsky

Great course

Kevin Stenstrom

Here for a wedding. Pretty nice

Brian Durham

Decent course but the the on course food options are not the best.

Brad R

My local course. Everything about the course is awesome except the sand traps. They receive little maintenance, so they are as firm as concrete or all of the sand from the edges/sides has washed into the center and sits there for weeks.

Christina Oberle

Attended an event here the ballroom is beautiful. The food was excellent, especially for serving the numbers that were in attendance. On top of that the staff was amazing and were willing to help with whatever!

Orlando Reyes

Beautiful course, great food.

David Ludowese

J Fro

Solid wedding venue

Bob Schlosser

Nice place for a wedding

Sharon Dougherty

Food & service was good. Not many diners. Clubhouse could use updating.

Tim Keller

Great for events, the event team is very helpful and well organized. I had a great experience, and we booked our event during winter, so we saved a bunch of money with the discounts they offered! I can highly recommend having your event with the Wilds!

Steve Willow

Played 18 in a little over 2 hours and it would have been faster if I was able to put my tee shots in the fairway more often than twice. Whoever couldn't rake the bunker after playing a shot from the one to the left of the 16th green on Tuesday 4/25/17, I took care of it for you. Greens had been aerated the day before but they still rolled nice if you read the break right and used the right speed, if you didn't you missed putts as you would on non-aerated greens.

Aaron Stang

A gorgeous, challenging and fun course.

Robert C

Nice approachable course.

Mark Viking34

Great shape fun course

Wayne Butt

A very beautiful course to play!

Wade Miller

Most overpriced, overrated golf course in the Twin Cities. They should call it "The Houses" instead of the Wilds. If you like hills and houses and paying nearly a hundred bucks to golf, go for it. However, there are many courses in the Twin Cities area for less than $50 that I'd rather play.

Chris

Professional ran and beautiful

Keith Chenvert

Beautiful course, always a good time at this course. Beautiful facility, very friendly staff!!!!

Joseph Dworak

I have played the Wilds since 1997 when it first opened. I usually get out there once every other year. The course still has many beautiful holes, but they are not in the shape they were in past years. The bunkers are thin on sand and the grass around many bunkers is not where it should be. There currently is some winter burn on the fairways & greens. There are many many more houses on the course and more seem to be added all the time. It feels less like a retreat and more like some courses in the north metro. All that said, this is still a good value at $50 to walk. There are many challenging holes and the pace of play is good. I will come back the Wilds, and hope they up there game a bit as far as how they take care of the course.
