Minnesota Golf Courses - Kimball Golf Club A Great Value in Central Minnesota

Places to play are easily accessible by car only if you're exploring the countryside Minnesota golf. Kimball Golf Club is another example of a successful golf course area from the Twin Cities is reasonable, especially when suburbs north-west. A guide to drive west on Interstate 94 and then south on Highway 15 takes you in a few minutes Kimball.

Another great feature of the beach Joel Golddesigned golf course is the reasonable fee that is charged to play at Kimball Golf Club. The fee to play 18-holes on the weekend is just $29.00 and power cart rental is also available for an additional charge, see clubhouse for details. Kimball Golf Club has available a fantastic Internet coupon that can be found on their website [http://www.kimballgolf.com] this coupon allows you to play 18-holes of golf with power cart rental for one person for only $28.00 if you tee off after 1:00PM on weekends or anytime on weekdays. In the heart of the summer season the sun does not set until after 8:30PM in central Minnesota, this allows plenty of time to take advantage of this fantastic rate. Make sure to visit their website and print off the coupon to take advantage of this special rate.

Kimball Golf Club was started in 1967 with play beginning in 1968. The back nine was opened in 1997 with an intermixing of some holes from the new and original part of the golf course. There are many challenging holes, blind shots with dramatic unevenness in the green, the golfer really trust your swing and play the recording by making birdie. Two great examples are 9 and 18 holes. hole number 9 is a 540 yard par 5 that requires three shots and hit a green slope. hole number 18 is a 426-yard par 4 hides the green to about 150 meters to achieve. If you can make yourtee shot from 150 to 130 yards from the green, you have a nice look at the green. If you hit the tee shot farther than that you risk dropping down into a ravine. I elected to play to the green in three shots and making a one-putt for a par. Using ones imagination can go a long way on this golf course in helping you to post a lower score. Remembering that every par 4 doesn't automatically mean that you play your driver from the tee box and also to take advantage of birdie putts when the opportunities present themselves.

A great example of this is the signature hole, number 15. Hole 15 is a 321-yard par 4. In typical Joel Goldstrand fashion this hole plays to an island green. All that is required of the golfer is to hit a 200-yard tee shot and then an easy wedge shot is all that remains. Execution of these two shots is what separates the golfer from a birdie attempt and a double-bogey or much worse.

Kimball Golf Club measures 6,652 yards from the back tees and has a slope index of 129 and a course rating of 71.9. Head Professional Judd Bonham along with Course Superintendent Curt Erickson do a fine job to make Kimball Golf Club an enjoyable value for the golfing public of central Minnesota as well as the Twin Cities area.
