Woodland Creek Golf Course, CLOSED 2008

Detailed description of Woodland Creek Golf Course, CLOSED 2008

Woodland Creek Golf Course is a Public, 9 hole golf course located in Andover, Minnesota.

Woodland Creek Golf Course first opened for play in 1989. The course was designed by Joel Goldstrand.

The course has either sand bunkers or water hazards on every hole. The fairways are narrow. Shot placement is critical for a good round. An extra set of tee locations are available should you wish to play a double loop 18-hole round.

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees, the course plays to 3053 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 2533 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 5, a par-5 that plays to 476 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 2, a par-3 that plays to 145 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, a 476 yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 2, a 145 yard par-3.

The course closed in 2008.

When the Woodland Creek Golf Course closed, the city purchased the property. The city sold a small piece of the land to a developer to build six single-family homes.

City officials are working with the state’s Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to conserve and restore the remaining 64.3 acres of the golf course as wetlands and grasslands.
