New Richmond Golf Club


After winning four free 18-hole rounds through the Swing Through the St. Croix Valley promotion, we headed to the old course at New Richmond Golf Club last week. Part of the St. Croix Valley Golf Trail, New Richmond has an older, mature front nine that opened in 1923 and a newer back nine that opened in 1982. Willie Kidd did the original design, while Don Herfort was brought in for the expansion. There is also a nine-hole reversible links course located near the entrance to the old course that was built in 1998. We had a great time and the course was in good condition. Some of the holes on the front nine are really memorable and would fit in well on a Brainerd area course. We hit the Zantigo in town for lunch before driving home through the rain that seemed to stay just south of town all morning.
