This very demanding course features a few water hazards and numerous sand bunkers incorporated into its design. The greens are large and difficult to read. The signature hole is #2, a 505-yard, par 5, requiring an uphill tee shot to a narrow landing area guarded by large oak trees, then two more uphill shots to the green. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 5th best for 1997-98. In addition, "GOLFWEEK" ranked it 75th among "America's 100 Best Classical Courses" for 1997, 100th for 1998 and 97th for 1999. Several designers have done renovations over the years, most recently by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Silva in 1979.

Outstanding Golf Experience, May 13, 2004

reviewer: James McCormack from Minneapolis, MN USA

Somerset is one of the most challenging courses in the state of Minnesota. There are no gimmicks nor are there any apparent obstacles. Greens are large and water is sparce. The course is not long and the fairways are ample. Sand can be easily avoided and the rough is manageable. This description posits the idea that the course is easy. However, the course beats even the best of golfers on and around the greens. A good drive and approach shot are at most a convenience on this course. The importance of controlled wedges and cagey putting is quickly apparent. Enjoy the old fashion mystique and don't be lulled by the courses appearance.

Triggs Memorial Golf Course
"Donald Ross Design at Public Rates"
Triggs is a good course, a tough layout from the back tees. Donald Ross designed Muni gets a lot of play and is a little rough around the edges, but a great test of golf. Played there for years before I relocated South.

Cahawba Falls Country Club
"Fun Course - Great Value"
The course layout is very challenging with some tight fairways on the tricky front side, but is rewarding on the back with open, reachable par 5s. The greens roll well and the fairways are usually in good shape. You can't beat the deal at $20-30 for green fees and cart rental.

Emerald Woods Golf Courses - Walk In The Park Course
"Emerald Woods"
A great course in Columbia Station. Granted, it's not a country club, but for the price you can't beat it. The ownership is wonderful to work with!
