Course History:
Ted Robinson designed this municipal course which is open to the public. It's combination of great rates and challenging play has made this one of the most popular courses in the area. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the trip. The course opened in 1963 and is very popular to this day.
What You Need to Know:
You can register your tee time online or by phone. Since this is such an economical course it is usually quite busy especially on weekends. It's best to call ahead or reserve online so that you can lock in your spot.
Even though this is a municipal course there are plenty of amenities, and more than you would expect given their low prices. A PGA pro is on staff for lessons and numerous events are held here throughout the year. It's a fun course to play and although pros may not find it terribly challenging, it is friendly for players of all skill levels. The course is also home to the Roseville Golf Club and there are numerous benefits to becoming a member.

You can also learn more about their membership passes and the other amenities offered to visitors of all skill levels.
Playing Hints:
There are only three main water hazards here and they aren't terribly difficult to master. You'll want to pay special attention to the lake on the seventh hole. If you stray too far right on the fairway, it's very easy to end up right in the middle of the lake.
The course is pretty straightforward and doesn't offer many sneaky tricks. There is a bit of a gentle dog leg on the first hole, so you'll want to keep to the left off of the tees. The fairways are a bit narrow so it's a good idea to try to keep your shots as accurate as possible. The sloping greens can be a bit of a challenge for novices, but overall this is a fun course that won't take too long to master.
