3505 Eastwood Rd. SE, Rochester; 507-281-6173; rochestermngolf.com

Par: 71 Yardage: 4,779-6,631 Green fees: 9 holes: $19/Adult. $17/Senior. $10/ Junior. 18 holes: $32/Adult. $28/Senior. $20/ Junior.

About the course: One course, two personalities. The original 18-hole layout at Eastwood was designed by Rochester golf legend Ray Keller. The old front nine was scrapped in 2007. What was the back nine became the front nine, and the new back opened for play in 2008. The new back nine is longer, but offers multiple tee boxes so golfers of any level can play to their game. Eastwood’s challenging and beautiful back nine is a bargain, playing like a high-end course for the price of a municipal course (its front nine isn’t anything to scoff at either).

Our favorite hole: Hole #14 has been called “the toughest par 5 in the area.” This monster dogleg right (607 yards from the black tees) begins with a challenging tee shot over water to a fairway lined with brush to the left and woods to the right.

Top 2023 Special: Two for $65 Special includes 18 hole green fees and cart at select times daily.

ROCHESTER HADLEY CREEK GOLF COURSE/ LEARNING CENTER

ROCHESTER NORTHERN HILLS GOLF COURSE

4721 West Circle Dr. NW, Rochester; 507-281-6170; rochestermngolf.com

Par: 72 Yardage: 5,398-6,271 Green fees: 9 holes: $19/Adult. $17/Senior. $10/ Junior. 18 holes: $32/Adult. $28/Senior. $20/ Junior.

About the course: A lot has changed in the city of Rochester since Northern Hills opened for play back in the summer of 1976, when it quickly leapt to the top of the city courses. That top-tier rating, though, hasn’t changed. Area golf experts regularly rank Northern Hills in the top two for area courses. Northern Hills has a good mixture of rolling hills and trees, not to mention an abundance of wildflowers. Its short par 4s make long hitters question keeping their driver in the bag on several holes. The sloped greens provide many tough wedge shots and putts.

Our favorite hole: Hole #6 (504-yard, par 5 from the championship tees). A par 5 with eagle potential, this is a classic risk-reward hole. Even after the recent redesign, it’s still one of the toughest tee shots in town.

Top 2023 special: Two for $65 Special includes 18 hole green fees and cart at select times daily.

ROCHESTER SOLDIERS FIELD GOLF COURSE 244 Soldiers Field Dr. SW, Rochester; 507-281-6176; rochestermngolf.com

About the course: A classic (opened in 1927), Soldiers Field’s flat, short design makes it great for beginners, but its top-notch smallish, quick greens and abundance of trees still test the experienced player, and golfers of any caliber will appreciate the views of the Zumbro River.

ROCHESTER WILLOW CREEK GOLF COURSE

Two classic threes: They say that par 3s define a course, and Soldiers has two classics. The signature hole—hole #5, the elevated tee-to-elevated green, 165-yarder—has been redesigned twice since 1960 and your tee shot travels over and along the Zumbro. Also, SF’s eighth hole may be the city’s toughest par 3.
