Treated very poorly at clubhouse on Oct 2 at 1:30 pm. Encountered a very cantankerous elderly worker who should possibly look into anger management classes. Even the younger woman working along side him seemed embarrassed by his behavior. Was looking forward to a fun, fall afternoon with my 14 year old son who is a good golfer (I was going along to watch). Treated like we were trying to sneak onto a private course. Honestly, this course is so not worth the money. Terribly bumpy fairways. Poorly maintained course. They’re a little proud of what they have to offer. Had the crabby elder not been crabby I would have not written this but I felt like we were very unwanted. Don’t we want to keep the sport of golf going? Well, Hiawatha Golf Course, you can’t do that without passing the torch to the younger generation.

Good shape, starter was friendly. Fairways were pretty bumpy.

Booked a Solo 18, showed up for my Tee Time and the wouldn’t let me play solo. Guys working the club house had ZERO customer service or willingness to be flexible and make something work. Course is in nice shape and driving range is nice. Staff lacks problem solving and customer service skills. Just wanted to golf alone. I understand it’s busy and a weekend, but don’t make Solo Tee times available if they aren’t. Will probably golf else where the next few times.

Hiawatha Golf Course is located in beautiful South Minneapolis. The course is always in immaculate condition, especially the greens and practice area. The staff here are so friendly and very helpful. Hiawatha has several putting greens, a driving range and a wonderful practice area. Our group called the Onglers played here every Tuesday during this 2020 golf season and believe me the golf course was always in excellent condition. This is a public golf course that gets played by thousands of golfers every year. Never the less it is always in great condition. I have been playing this course since 1974, but this year during covid-19 was the most challenging. The clubhouse was closed so everyone was unable to buy a hotdogs, hamburger, or sandwich at the restaurant inside. I love this golf course so much. Finally, the entire staff at Hiawatha Golf Course worked so hard, keeping the course in outstanding condition so people like me could have a great golfing experience. Thank you so much Hiawatha Golf Course employees.

Great golf course. I like that there is an extra par 5 on the front nine as it feels like you get a little more golf on. Just the right amount of hazards to keep you on your toes.Con: the course is pretty low in elevation and so after significant rains or in the early spring, the course is very spongy in spots.

Excellent! Minneapolis has wonderful city city golf courses. Well maintained and fun to play. Course was in great shape.

Played here yesterday for the first time ever. I play about 30 different courses per year and the conditions here were about the worst Ive seen at any course Ive played in Minnesota. Fairways are so rough you nearly get thrown out of the cart, greens had everything from random fishbowls to neat cornrows of unintentional depressions. Turf generally was mostly weeds. Some bunkers had been neglected and sent back to overgrown weed rough. Overall felt like a mowed cow pasture with a few random flag sticks.Staff was friendly and quick. I can see why the price is so low.I wont be back.

The African Unity Golf Network loves Hiawatha Golf Course. One of the beautiful golfing experience in MN.

Staff was friendly and helpful.Fairways and greens in good shape.Wide fairways with few trees and few hazards.Great way to spend the evening!Will definitely play there again

Course in lozzy shape but price is decent however much better courses around for sMe pric3. Could be nice if thdy took care of it better.

Awesome course right in the cities. Well maintained. Reasonable greens fees. Walk or ride very easily. Gladly repeat. Love the par 3s.

This is a very fun golf course to get out and try your best. We had such a great time there did not realize that this was a links style golf course until after the front 9. We thought that we were doing great nobody lost any balls and almost at par. Something must be wrong. Well what was wrong is that this is a very good golf course for anybody with a long drive good short game and great putting skills! This is a very good golf course for any style of golfer! #getoutngolf and tell em Tbone sent you!

Great range. 2 putting greens, 1 short shot green and a sand trap to practice out of. A must place to go to learn how to play golf

Good golf course. If it is a hot day I would definitely spring for the gold cart or hand cart, carrying clubs for all 18 holes was terrible. Lots of water but its an easy course great for everyone.

Awesome place to get in some cross country skiing. They have freshly groomed skate and classic trails. On loop is 3km. Which takes about 30 minutes without stopping. Nice and convenient for X Country skiing in the city.

This is a classic Golf Course. This golf course has been around for many many years. It is very unique and its own layout! The layout is a very classic links like layout. The greens were nice but fast the fairways were well maintained. Lot of par-fives that you can open up your drive to a grip it and rip it down the Fairway. Take your time on the greens because they were nice but they were fast doesnt need much to drop the ball in the cup! The facility was really nice clean and well maintenanced. The staff there was exceptionally nice and filling Us in on some information was very helpful and we got through that course without a problem not too far not too short just perfect. I highly recommend getting out there to play this course before its time is up rumors have it that they are losing 9 holes on this course so get out and enjoy it while you can! So grab some friends or the neighbor and get out and golf this course as soon as you can enjoy it and have fun. #getoutngolf and tell Em..TBone sent ya!

Nice course. Long enough, but not too long

Really nice city course. Very playable with great views of the surrounding lakes. You can even see downtown Minneapolis from some of the tee boxes

Great location and affordable with a fun layout and beautiful views of the Minneapolis skyline. Conditions are much improved. Will be back.

Just got home the . Played a little target golf. Tuning up for the season. The course is wonderful to be out there this early. I highly recommend it for all levels.

September 20 the course is in pretty rough shape. I think when the new layout is confirmed, fairways, greens and everything will get renewed, but now its kinda bad.

Great staff, fun course.

Will be back. Course is in great shape and greens are nice. Excellent practice facilities. Great location in Minneapolis with great views.

Great course! Greens are in nice conditions and staff is super friendly!

Have not played the course in 4yrs but was really impressed with it and how fast the greens were.

It was in decent shape but come on its Hiawatha

Great affordable place

My favorite course.

City golfing at its best

Beautiful, and well kept course.

I love this place, driving range and practice areas are great. The course is well kept and the staff is excellent! Highly recommend!

This is a great public golf course serving South Minneapolis. Range, practice facility, chipping greens. I learned how to play the game here as a kid and love playing here as an adult.The course isnt immaculate, but its fun. The holes are well designed and there is just enough trouble to keep it interesting. You can play a legit round of golf for a great price while staying in the city.Get out and play while you can. Only a few years left for the Lady Hiawatha.

Decent round of golf

This course is a classic! If you havent golfed here for losing out! Very nice grounds here. The greens were fast and the sand was soft! Did all 18 and shot a low score! Pro ship had everything you need. So get some friends together and swing the club here as soon as you can.. might be changing soon! #getoutngolf #tellemtbonesentya

Staff is great and the course is in good shape

Much better than earlier this past spring. Still areas that are soggy. More regular grounds keeping would be nice. Lost a couple balls, possibly under tufts of grass clippings.

Great old city course make sure you keep it in the fairway the rough is brutal

Don’t recommend for casual golfers.Course is not well kept, they rush you to play too fast, one staff member was not very welcoming-we were told “this course is not for teaching.” The golfers in front of us tee’d off late, which made us late, which made the people behind us late and then we got chewed out by staff. We will not return.

They really need to work on this goat ranch. Phenomenal potential, poor execution. Certainly not worth the premium greens fees. Be prepared for wet bogs, untamed rough, irregular mowing and spotty bent grass.

Just get rid of it already. Return it to its natural state of beauty

Solid design of a very old course. The service & people that you meet are fantastic! Would give 5 stars if the Mpls Park Board Council would appropriate the proper funds to allow this course to become a viable business that would produce more revenue that could sustain regular maintenance & also support other park programs.

Did you know you can paddle the entirety of Minnehaha Creek? Just kidding, this golf course has bridges (for golf carts) that were lazily constructed so low that you have to portage (4 times).

The back 9 was in the worst shape I’ve ever seen a golf course. There was standing water absolutely everywhere. The only reason this isn’t a 1 star review is because the front 9 is in good shape.

A fairly flat, yet very fun course. Awesome clubhouse with a historic feel. Driving range and huge putting green. The course itself is great for boosting confidence in your game - you can go low here! Wide open without too many trees. Thank you for being a PCC course.

Great neighborly course. Beautiful views and lots of facilities;parks, swings, paths, tennis courts, beach, playground next to the course.

Great practice facilitys

Just sooo relaxing to look at.

Good public golf course in South Minneapolis .

Great day for golf

Great, mature course. However, I wasnt up to the challenge today.SAVE THE HIAWATHA!!

So nice to have this pocket of golf right downtown! I really like city courses and its set in a pretty, green neighborhood. My only comment is that sometimes the play is realllllyyy slow, it took us four hours to play nine holes; but it was late afternoon during peak season.I saw signs around the neighborhood that they might lose this course, as someone who just moved here, I hope they dont lose this course! Its a great addition downtown!

Very fun course layout. Beautiful views of lake Hiawatha and Minneapolis. Great driving range and practice area with a putting and separate chipping greens. Great service from the staff. Very walkable course.

It was wet do to 3 inches of rain. Stull fun to play

Great city course that has cheap twilight rates. Back nine was open for summer of 2016 which was great.Update 2017 - I wanted to note that the staff here at this course could not be nicer. They work very hard to accommodate everyone and get people out golfing. There was a little confusion during my last tee time, and they went out of their way to assist. I am so happy to have this course and people running it in my neighborhood.

Great straight forward layout with some great holes like #5, #6, #13, and #16. The practice facilities are extremely helpful and the lessons I received there really helped my game.The course is in much better shape this year than last. I play there often and find the staff to be friendly and helpful.Course is back open to all 18 holes again and I thought conditions were pretty, darn good. Please get out there and support our South Minneapolis course. Staff is still awesome.

Good course and learning area. They a shouldnt let this one go.

Despite the all the problems with the standing water everywhere, its a nice course too play.

Fun course, great location, and excellent staff. Theyve done a great job improving conditions. If you havent been recently, highly recommend giving it another chance.

Cheap and easy, just how I like it

Great place to practice :)

The ppl are great there and those grounds keepers are doing a fantastic job keeping the course on par!!!

Customer-friendly Priced Right

Great needs to stay around

One of the less expensive courses to play in the Minneapolis area but that may be due to the course conditions. Drainage is very poor, so if you happen to have a tee time that lands after a rainfall, youll probably lose your ball... In the fairway. The staff has always been great and again, cant really beat the cost to play 18 holes.

Great course. Finally got to play the back 9. Great round of golf. Well maintained as well. Good pricing as well.

This course is in rough shape but you cant beat the price. If you are ballin on a budget and dont mind walking through mud on occasion, this might be the place for you.

Great place to teach your children how to hit golf balls. Super affordable and friendly staff. The greens are always immaculate. Not bad for a city course. Junior golf clubs on loan if you need some perfect for kids

Enjoyed playing Hiawatha. The pace of play there was incredible. Best Ive seen anywhere this season

Great place! They have a large practice area for chipping and putting!

Jun. 2016 - The Back 9 is open, in reasonable condition, and getting better every week. There are a couple of greens that are not completely up to par, but it is great to have 18 holes open again. Overall, the course is way ahead of where it was 4 years ago. Plus, the rate to play is great.

Cant really give an honest review Im just passing there

You can’t walk around the lake bc of this dumb course. Pretty lame

Course is in good shape

Best course w/in the city of Minneapolis. Friendly to all abilities. Practice facilities to help your game. Valuable asset.

One of the first courses that let black people golf on grew up there with the Roosevelt High School great course

Love this local course. The staff are very friendly. The driving range and practice areas are awesome.

Hiawatha is great track that is has old school charm, great par 5’s and one of the best short game practice facilities around. Friendly staff, a cozy clubhouse and solid range make it a city favorite!

Great practice facilities! Awesome staff. The back 9 is closed due to flood damage, but the front 9 is coming back great. Its a heck of a deal for $12. Definitely worth going out there to get in some rounds.

Good for a newbie. The holes are a little too close together. Grass on how one pretty hard. Road a little broken up for carts to get through. For a twighlight price. Its ok.

Good course for all levels of players. Very reasonable rates. Great staff.

It has pins, cups and grass but thats about it. If youre looking for average dont expect it here. Best suited for beginning golfers or someone looking to get some steps in.

Nice little course.

For a city course, longer than I expected. A great golf option in the city.

Great to have a course in the city! No idea why we cant all just get along.

Trey Labatt cousin of Tim Labatt (R) 1949 Lake Harriet, Minneapolis Mn.

Nice course. Great value. The staff is super.

Played Hiawatha with the PCC membership. Nice little walkable course nestled in the city and challenging enough to keep you coming back. Friendly staff!

Course is beautiful overall, but the grass is not groomed well, especially for footgolf.

This a great Public course. Straight forward with fairly good greens. Any talk of closing this course is short sighted.

Fun course. Great for all experience levels. Friendly staff.

Had fun last time I was there. Except for the old man on a cart who kept driving out to harass me and my date and tell us to let people play through, which we already were. Maybe go to the driving lane to practice if youre this slow. Ruined my dates night.

Good

Great place with friendly people please dont tear it down

The staff was excellent and the course has a nice fun layout for golfers of all levels. Great practice area to work on chipping and putting.

Last good place to play in south Minneapolis. Do not let the city close this course.

Save Hiawatha 18!! I golf here at least once a week. Staff is friendly, price is spot on and course is in good condition. Dont let the mpls park board shut it down!!

A little pricy but a solid course

Im a total beginner and this place is really great. Im enrolled in a group lesson thats very helpful. This is a great place to increase your confidence, and for better players, hone your skills.

Course is in great shape after being closed for a couple seasons. Affordable option for casual or beginning golfers. Nice practice facility.

Spongy but fun and challenging
