Golfers are fond of the course because of the variety of play it offers. The par 3s, 4s, and 5s all come in different lengths and elevations, but each fairway gives golfers a good view of the hole. Water features prominently in 15 of the holes, and at the eighth, golfers have to ride a ferry to play this elevated par 4. In terms of difficulty, the U.S. Golf Association rates Stonebrooke as one of Minnesota's 10 toughest public courses. Still, golfers of all abilities maintain that the splendor of this course, surrounded by mature oaks and crowned with annuals and perennials, is worth every frustrating stroke.
