Dacotah Ridge Golf Club

This 7,000-yard Rees Jones course provides a full array of water and wood holes.

Reviewed By midway42 - Minnesota, United States

I visited this golf club somewhat on a whim as I had already planned a weekend to visit the surrounding historical sites. Designed by Rees Jones, the course is nestled just south of Morton and down the road from Jackpot Junction Casino. A somewhat intimidating entry gate allows access to the complex, and there is a well-stocked driving range next to the 10th-hole tee boxes. The 18-holes stretch out over 6,217 yards from the regular tees and 7,109 (!) from the tournament ones. There are plenty of water hazards, elevation changes, and sand traps to challenge all ability types including beginner golfers such as this writer. I played five early morning rounds here over three visits, walking every time. The clubhouse overlooks the ninth and tenth holes and provides the usual fare with excellent service. As someone who almost exclusively plays the same two or three public courses, I was a bit blown away by my first visit here. The remote location actually works in a customer’s favor if you don’t want to be struggling to find a tee-time. The fairways and greens were very well kept and the fellow golfers universally respectful and professional. Customer service in the clubhouse and restaurant (thanks Bert!) were excellent. As any true golfer knows, one of the benefits of the game is getting outdoors and this experience did not disappoint. The fall colors were spectacular and I can still hear the cows mooing in the distance as I try to clear the artificial lake on the 11th hole. I will be making (at least) annual visits here indefinitely. Superb.

I play Cragun's several times during the golf season. I always have an incredible golf experience. The course is always in pristine condition. The staff are responsive, friendly and first rate. My favorite course is Bobby's, but Dutch is beautiful and challenging too. There are par 5's that are reachable and a couple of par 4's that feel like par 5's. My wife and I have also taken golf lessons from Chris Foley who is the PGA professional at the course. Chris is an incredible instructor who is thoughtful, kind and insightful with his instruction and feedback. I highly recommend Cragun's as a destination for golfing couples or for a buddies or girlfriends' golf get-away.
