Hi there, I live in St. Paul - near Lexington & Summit. I'm a native Chicagoan myself - welcome to the Twin Cities!

To help come up with some course suggestions, a few questions for you:

1. Where in the area will you be moving?
2. What's the highest amount you prefer to spend for a round?
3. How far are you willing to drive?

In my bag:

Driver Cleveland Classic 310 Tour 10.5°  Miyazaki Kusala 61 Black Reg
Fairway Wood Cleveland Launcher FL 3/15° Miyazaki C.Kua 43 Reg
Hybrids Cleveland Mashie 3/20.5° & 4/23° Miyazaki C.Kua 43 Reg

Irons Wilson Ci9 5-6-7-8-9-PW-GW FST ss105 Reg

thanks for the response. here are my answers. 1. not exactly sure where I will be moving, most likely western suburbs (minnetonka or Hopkins) 2. Ill pay up to $100-150 for a nice course if it justifies the fee. i'd also like some more everyday courses in the 30-50 range. 3. probably not an issue. i drive 45-75 minutes to all of the courses i play in chicago.

I live in Zimmerman (about 50 miles NW of Minneapolis - originally from WI). I reviewed Riverwood National last year which is a decent track. A couple of sites to get you started:

Twin Cities Golf

Golf Minnesota

Explore Minnesota Golf

Minnesota Golf

Shoot me a PM sometime and perhaps we can get a few forum members together for a round.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
