Front nine is OK, but back nine not so much. Many holes are lined with tall weeds and frequent lost ball searches take too long slowing play for all groups. Yardage markers are hard to find and carts dont have GPS so bring a distance finder. On the plus side, Braemar has great food/beer options and a large deck area overlooking the course as well as the best driving range in the state.

The practice area is great. I like the renovation of the course better than the original. Would be extremely walkable but for the 12th hole which is like ten floor walk-up. Cant leave clubs at the bottom because you go down the other side. If you play the right tees, its fair yet challenging.

Great course, very well kept from head to toe. Lots of elevation changes, well cut bunkers trough out. Very playable with not many trees to get in your way. Had a great time.

If you are looking for a fantastic golf course then Braemar GC is the place to play...With its newly remodeled course and ginormous practice facility you are going to be truly amazed from the moment you step on the 1st tee box to your final putt in 18...This course will certainly give you the wow factor that you are looking for...

Outstanding course. The layout challenges golfers of all skill level. The practice facilities are top-notch with plenty of range spaces, chipping areas and putting greens. Staff at Braemar are second to NONE. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Highly encourage everyone to get to Braemar and enjoy a round at one of the NICEST facilities in the state!

The Course was in very good shape. Great improvement over former layout. I paid $70.00 including cart on a Sunday. I think that is over the top in pricing. Now they do have a good driving range, practice putting, and other practice areas. But it is still over priced.

Played one of the first tee time off the academy 9, pace was great, no waiting. Greens were punched/aerated but the course was in great shape.

Great golf course, just too crowded most of the time.Pace of play is very slow.The golf course is always in great condition, The greens are incredibly well cared for.But the pace of play is so slow, I wish there was some way of speeding it up.Prepare for a long round.

My group was mischarged for golf carts (we took to many), $7.00 short. Mind you, i had a receipt for my cart payment, showed it yo the cart master, and was given a cart. Was asked three tomes when teeing off to pay on the turn (on the teebox). We agreed to do exactly as requested, then where followed to carts by staff and had radio announcement go out, even heard by my business friends. We went on the play the 9 holes. Then getting to the turn i immediately start heading to club house and the man yells at me as i pass again. Telling him i have been doing exactly as requested, he makes another radio announcement heard by friends inside. Worst experience golfing, horrible treatment. Ill gladly send $70 so the next ten people dont need to deal with this. Go elsewhere.

Huge driving range with big buckets of decent range balls. People are all nice. Not much diversity around these parts, as in middle of Edina.Service is on point, and the fact that I had no worries of driving the ball too far or wide was cool. No yardage markers to be seen. Just different colored flags with no seen corresponding distances.

I absolutely love the Championship course it is very beautiful and in fabulous shape. The reason I am giving it just 3 stars is the pace of play. I belong to a different golf club and the average pace of play there is 3:40. I played Braemar on Wednesday and it took 5:20, which is too long for a round of golf.

Can’t book a tee time from a mobile device. Can’t book a tee time calling them. Can’t book a tee time! Incredibly antiquated system

I will never play this course again. The staff is extremely unprofessional. They told us we couldnt get in our full 18 holes when we showed up to the course, because they decided on the spot to close early that day. Even though we called a couple days earlier to make sure we could get in 18 holes as we had people making a far drive to play the course. At the end of the round when we were packing up our bags, the staff yelled and swore at us to bring our carts to them before we could finish. Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. I will be spreading the word of our experience.

Very open course, not super long, well maintained. Very sloped greens. Overall I enjoyed it although the 30 mph wind with the openness of it made me feel like I was in scotland

Renovated and redesigned course is beautiful but they stack tee times too close to one another even in the middle of a day on a Tuesday.

Well designed course. Well maintained. And friendly and helpful staff. Thanks Anna!!

Played the Acadamy 9 and had a great experience. Tee time realistic with what was set up online. You have to remember to call and pay as online only takes a CC to hold tee time.

Popular course and its a great challenge. Great vistas of the open countryside and probably walkable but take a cart and enjoy the course!

If you are going to do range buckets by phone... answer the phone... I have come twice now .. called the number.. sat on hold for ten minutes next to the ball machine.. gave up and left.. while seeing three employees chatting on the first tee box.. joke

Very disappointing experience here. I was trying to figure out a problem I was having with payment and one of the players services kids named Charles was extremely rude and disrespectful, and did not help me at all. He was also making my wife very uncomfortable with the way he was talking, and looking at her. I will never go here again and will make sure my friends don’t either. Especially with their wives

I was amazed at how the new course looks at Braemar. Greens that roll amazingly true and the new beautiful hole designs. The new #13, old #12 is my favorite part of the update. I can’t wait to come back again!

Great remodel of the course. Some of the best true rolling green Ive played. Level tee boxes, and great views in the cities even

Friendly staff nice course

Beautiful grounds! I loved how each hole was completely different from the last.

Great course! Greens are in nice condition and they have a nice par 3 course!

This place was awesome! Drove from Omaha just to check it out and it did not disappoint. TopTracer was awesome to use. Wish we had something similar here! This is for the golf dome, not course.

Course was just re-done and its very nice. Pretty big fairways with though, precise greens. Only paid $30 for the round (under 25). Greens were recently aerated so they were pretty sandy. New course so the grass just needs to get rooted. Highly recommend for cheap public golfing.

Nice course but the greens were very difficult.

Beautiful scenery. Greens were lush.

The redo was okay, will be better as the days go by and the greens mature

Great course - great staff

The new course was very nice and had forgiving fairways. The greens were very quick and it was hard to get a shot to stick on the green. It was very fun round and reasonably priced at $66ish for 18 and a cart. Overall its a great location and Id go back again and again.

Greens are excellent ... New design is terrific!

Love the redesign. It is a lot more open and forgiving in some areas, challenging in others. The Back 9 is pretty tough. The course was in decent shape, although the greens were a little slow, but I imagine they are being tender with them as it is the first playing season.Price is right for a course of this caliber.The one thing that knocked down my rating was the pace. It took us 5 hours in carts and didnt feel like we were doing a lot of waiting. I know everyone loves the par 3 with the tee boxes on the giant hill (now #13), but when we got to the tee there was a log jam of 2 groups. The only time we had to wait all day and it was a long wait, almost 20 minutes.All in all I am happy with the redesign and am looking forward to coming back to improve my score! hopefully the wait at 13 improves.

Chris was pretty rude on the phone about a tee time.. hard pass...

Just played the new course and it’s stunning! Gets my vote as a top 5 public course in Minnesota. Love the new practice facility and staff is super friendly. Well done Edina!

Never answer their phone and rude staff

The new design is pretty good. But the conditioning needs to be improved. The bunkers are substandard. Fairways are firm but I think it is due to a very rocky subsurface. A few of my clubs came away scared.

Played the course in late May and it was in good condition. Greens were rolling slow but true. Probably in much better condition now.Many of the trees are brand new making the course feel wide open. The fairways are huge on the new Braemar and the hole designs are interesting. Majority of the holes have tiered greens as well.Ill be back.

Too busy. Tee times maybe to close together?

Golfed once and wont be back. The Character of the course has completely changed. Not a fan. Also, as a non-patron I paid $70.00 (with Cart) after 3:00pm. This price would be too expensive even if I had played at 8:00am. Travel a bit and spend your money on a course that will give you the return for your money that you deserve.

Nice course. Suggest you take a cart. Needs more visible yard markers. On a couple of E marked tees need to drive 210+ to clear water.

Great greens, perfect.

We havent golfed here, but have attended a few events and the facility is beautiful. Its situated in a beautiful and secluded area. The grounds are well kept and the staff in delightful.

Yay yay yay!!!!! Finally I golfed. Perfect for starters.

Unbeknownst to many this is actualy a place where you can golf. amazing.

Really fun par 3 course that is very reasonable if you walk it. It was only $17 for a Saturday morning which was less than what I would have thought based off of how nice the course was.

Wait igual new course. Very nice club area to have a beer after. Good place for a quick 9 or a round 18

Quite convenient if you’re just willing to stop by and plan the Academy nine, or the full 18 holes.

This course is just ok. The fees are higher than I would expect for a course of this quality. When we arrived, we went to the club house to pay and get a few items. The employees behind the counter were younger and seemed very pompous. Once we got our cart, we went on to our tee time. The whole time we were playing, we were being watched by staff members. Any time we went off the cart path, we were told to get back on the path. It was like an army of them telling all the people trying to enjoy themselves. The fairways are nice, but the greens are VERY inconsistent. Some were very hard and the ball rolled forever, while some were like mush and the ball barely moved. Overall, it was a nice course, but I won’t play here again until the course is in better condition.

Great challenging course, I only had enough time to do the front 9 though. I look forward to coming back soon do to the full 18.

Not much to like about this course now. It appears they remodeled it using the economy model. Staff were crabby and confused. They told us one price when we scheduled and charged us 75 dollars when we showed up. Very little on the fairways to tell you the hole description (guess they couldnt afford the nice plaques showing the layout of the hole like a premium course would do). The snack cart charges 2.00 for a candy bar a 3 dollars for a bottle of water...but they were out of most of everything by the time they showed up for us (the 16th hole). We had to wait for about 8 holes to find some place to go to the bathroom. The ranger was crabby and rude.... lots more... but there are far too many more courses to choose from to ever play at this overpriced badly designed city course...never again

I had my wedding at Braemar, and it was a great experience. Amy made everything so easy, and on the day of the wedding Christine executed all the details perfectly.

Course is redeveloped, but should be in great condition I a year or two. The rangers are pretentious and think they own the joint. Chloe is the beverage cart was awesome!

1st Class

The new Braemar is fantastic! Greens are running hard and fast, and the multiple sets of tee boxes are great for speed of play.

Love the new course but they failed to tell us when we booked our tee time that the greens were punched the day before. I feel like it is fairly customary for courses to be open about that so as regulars it was a bit disappointing.

Horrible course redo ... what happened to the trees? Holes are poorly marked. No features, basically just one large green space. The first 150 yards of many holes are tee boxes. Can hear the traffic on HWY 494 from most holes. Very disappointed.

Good looking grass this year.Nice driving range!

Played executive 9 in less than 1hr 15 minutes. Great day!

Need 150 stakes at least.Will speed up play. Love the course

Going to be great when all the greens and fairways mature.

A terrific public course.

Went to a wedding there. Thought it was a nice venue. The staff was great and the food was superb.

Vast improvement from old course. But still a Gopher hole.

Had a lesson with Mike Diebel. He corrected my grip and swing. Got me back on track with my chipping. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game.

The best place to practice your golfing! I went here twice in a fieldtrip. It was so fun. Glad to do this again in my senior year.

Over priced golf course. Just renovated but not in great condition so far.

Very well kept. Close to home

Great new course.

Not even open yet, and likely the worst course in the south metro. The layout is confusing, tee boxes aiming at other tee boxes and they removed all of the really good things this course used to be. The fact it has taken this long to get the course complete shows that the people in charge do not know what they are doing. The old executive course was one of the best short courses, not only in Minnesota, but that I have played across the country. In stead of making it better, they doubled the cost to play, made it nearly unwalkable, and with three 70 yard holes in a row, what more is there to say. This is exactly what the new course will be. Overpriced, uninteresting, and certain holes dangerous. This was my main course, but it looks like I will play in Chaska or Bloomington instead.

Staff is awesome.

Dont come here. This place is great the way it is. :)

Beautiful day. I slipped out from work at lunch to hit a bucket of balls on the range. Easy in and out. Range in great shape.

Stunning golf course & driving range!

Fun and close to home if you live in Edina. Under construction starting fall of 2016. Several nice long holes and some fun par three holes with elevation.

Worst driving range I have ever seen.. you have to mostly play on mud and messy grass..Update: Changing from 2 star to 1 star because they spent millions to fix the driving range area and you still cannot play. They want you to play on mats :(Update: now you can play on proper grass. Much better.

Love the newly renovated course!!!

Only have played in the academy course and it has been a great experience.

Went to driving range good balls to hit and well clean

This review is for the event space, not the golf course. The recently renovated event space is quite nice. Amy and the rest of the event planning staff were always extremely helpful. The only disadvantage to this venue is that, since the event space renovation, the City of Edina has greatly increased the per guest charge for using space.

A really great place for 18 holes if you can get a tee time.

Played 9 (holes 10-18 on Hays), course was in great shape. Didnt go into the clubhouse except to pay for the round. Good value, especially for a walker.

Course is very nice, little bumpy. 19-27 is the nicest. Workers were all rude, kicked everyone of the course after they over booked themselves which made play very slow. Had 1 hole left with plenty of light. Everyone on the course was angry and the employees didnt care at all. Guessing their time clock ends at 8:50. Wont go back for this reason. Beer cart lady was very nice, that deserves a star.

Braemar Golf Course is a 36 hole public course with meeting rooms, hiking trails, the Tin Fish restaurant, driving range, golf dome, pro shop and newly designed executive course in Edina, a southwest Minneapolis suburb. The facilities are first rate and open to the public. Call ahead for tee times and meeting reservations.

Fun and challenging course. It was in great condition, however weather conditions have been ideal for course maintenance this year.

Love this joint

Very nice public golf course.

Have scheduled two high school class reunion lunches at Tin Fish Restaurant. Enjoyed ourselves.

Amazing shape.

The tin fish is a great spot for a beer, if you can ignore the golfers hanging out.

Really nice golf course. Prices are not too bad.

Disappointed. Waited 1 1/2 years to reopen after a total redo, taking 27 holes down to 18, new everything. Expected the course to reopen in pristine condition. Instead, its in mediocre shape. Fairways and tee grounds have bare spots, uneven grass. I thought it would have recovered after being open for a month but no. Disappointing especially other muni courses in the area by now are in great shape.

While its usually in decent condition (albeit extremely easy), the service is terrible. You see the beverage cart once every 9 holes. The rangers and staff are incredibly rude compared to every other course Ive ever played. The prices for EVERYTHING are way higher than they should be. The course plays extremely slow, and you get yelled at regardless of whether or not youre half a hole behind the people in front of you. The only reason I ever go to this dump is because all the other courses in the area are either private or theyre also terrible, save for Crystal Lake, but thats not all that close when you want to get in a quick 9 after work.

Great course and practice area. Unfortunately driving range was mats only in the middle of summer.

Great soccer dome

Nice executive course, but main course is under construction and closed, so I cant give more than 3 stars. I will re-rate the course in July 2018

Went for the boutique which was really nice.

Good place for golf especially if you dont golf that often
