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.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
