Course Report
Spring Hill maintains a quiet profile with limited membership and aims to be recognized purely for its golf, eschewing high-profile tournaments or flashy publicity.
About
Spring Hill Golf Club is a highly exclusive, private club in Wayzata, Minnesota, designed by Tom Fazio and Dennis Wise in 1999. Revered for its immaculate bentgrass fairways and greens, the course emphasizes classic design and strategic shot-making. The limited membership and understated atmosphere provide a pure golf experience focused on preserving the traditions of the game.
Caddie Tip
Spring Hill demands thoughtful club selection off the tee and precise approach shots due to strategic bunkering, elevation changes, and fast greens. Trust the yardage, err toward the safe side on approach shots, and take your time reading the undulating bentgrass greens to avoid costly three-putts.
The Main Challenge
The main challenge at Spring Hill is its demanding length and penal bunkering, especially with fast, contoured greens. Off-line shots are punished, and the need for both distance and accuracy keeps players focused. High rough, elevation shifts, and small landing zones reward only carefully played shots throughout the round.
The Good
Members rave about the exceptional course conditioning, intimate and serene atmosphere, and challenging yet fair layout that rewards accuracy and strategic play. Many appreciate that the club is solely about pure golf without distractions—just world-class design and classic traditions in a beautifully natural Minnesota setting.
The Not So Good
Due to the club’s exclusivity, potential areas for improvement are rarely publicized, but some wish for greater access or opportunities for unaccompanied guest play. Occasional feedback in the past has noted the lack of tournament activity or lesser-known status compared to more famous Minnesota courses.
