Reviews for Straight River Golf Course in Faribault, MN
Decent golf course for the price but I won't be back until the fix their greens which were burnt like they put to much... fertilizer on them and killed the grass. Read more
The wife bought me another year membership at Straight River Golf Course and I couldn't be happier. Love the family that owns it... and the way they are trying to make it a great place to golf and still make it a challenge golfing there. I had a blast thisyear and now that I am retired, look forward to when it opens this spring!!!! Can't wait to see you Joe!!!!! Read more
Course was in very rough shape. Greens were scorched and bare in so many spots. Signage to navigate the course non existent, tee... boxes are comparable to hitting out of the rough on most courses? 40 dollars to play the back 9? 10 dollar charge just for mygirlfriend to ride in the cart.. was not impressed in the least bit. Save your money and just go play legacy if you?re in town. Read more
What a nice course! I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the signs on the course need work. It was difficult to navigate... because the signs weren't clear. The ladies tee does not indicate distance so I had to hit from the men's box. There are severalholes where the ladies tee is non-existent, but in fairness this is an Executive course. The greens here are some of the mostbeautiful and maintained I've ever played on. This alone should warrant 5 stars, but the inadequate signage was frustrating. Forinstance, on the par 4 after hitting the driver we could not figure out which 150 marker was for our hole. My husband usuallybrings his tech to indicate distances, but we didn't because of the type of course.....big mistake. Did I mention how beautifuland spongy the greens were! Anyway, in regards to customer service....A+. The young lady who assisted my husband was top notch,thank you for that. I will always mention customer service because it is truly a dying art. People have forgotten how to carefor one another and I find that to be a tragedy. Read more
Did the full 18 today and haven?t been this disappointed golfing here before. There were two bachelor parties on the course, one... of which had three large campers right off of the parking lot. Front nine (par 3) went fine; but on the turn we saw two cartsfrom the bachelor party driving across the greens on 10. And parking carts on the tee box on 11. We mentioned it to the personworking the bar and she completely ignored our complaints because ?they were members,? but every other course I?ve played on,the members are held to a higher standard. I was extremely disappointed with the service today, just as I thought this coursewas on the up and up. Hopefully this was a one-off and is not the new norm. Read more

You will have a lovely, Scenic Drive to get to straight River. If you have not been there before you may want to use your Google... Maps. I do not recall seeing a handicap ramp but there may be one. Plenty of parking. The outside deck facing the golf course isfabulous. The food is very good and there are Friday and Saturday night specials that I highly recommend. The staff are veryaccommodating and helpful the bar and dining area are comfortable and clean. Read more
Not a bad little course. Overpriced if you ask me.
