We celebrated my brother's wedding here, and from the perspective of the wedding party, this place could have been better. The facilities were dirty and not ready when we arrived. Toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a few days, no toilet paper or paper towels in the bathrooms, and there was water spilled all over the counter in the bridal suite. The attendant was not as available or present as many would have liked, though other staff were great and friendly. Food was good but the meals were a bit mixed up with the sides (one meal did not come with any sides when it was supposed to).

Beautiful venue, nicely set up, good dance space. From the perspective of a guest I'm sure it was a great experience but having seen some of the behind the scenes, they can definitely work to step up the overall experience, cleanliness, and attentiveness.

WEDDING VENUE !

Blackberry Ridge Golf Club - 10 out of 10 stars ⭐️

From the moment that we stepped onto the grounds on Thursday for rehearsal, we felt like welcome guests !

From the wedding coordinators, maintenance staff, pro shop, and catering folks … their employees are some of the most caring, hardest working, welcoming workers that I’ve encountered at a venue in a long time !

If you’re looking for an event / wedding venue in the Saint Cloud area, be sure to check them out …

Based on the cost versus quality of service, quite possibly the best value in town !!!

Beautiful course - very challenging and fair. Need some sand on the course to make some divot repair. Staff and restaurant are great. Very high prices from the beverage cart - only complaint.

I recently had my wedding at Blackberry Ridge Golf Club and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The venue itself is beautiful, with large windows over looking where the ceremony was. The reception hall was elegant and spacious, with plenty of room for our guests to dance and mingle.

The staff at the venue were incredibly professional and accommodating. They were always available to answer our questions and help us with anything we needed. We can't say enough about how great all the staff was.

The food and drinks were delicious. We have gotten so many compliments about how amazing the Beef Roast was. Best wedding food ever. The catering staff were attentive and made sure that everyone was well taken care of throughout the night.

The premium package was well worth the money. Everything was set up when I arrived the morning of my wedding. Best of all we didn't have to stay and take everything down. Just showed up the next day to pick up decorations.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding venue. Blackberry Ridge exceeded all of our expectations and helped to create the perfect atmosphere for our special day. I highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a beautiful and unforgettable wedding experience.

Just came back from enjoying a round of 18 this June 3rd. On the third hole the guys behind us told us off for parking up next to the tee box, and said we need to stick to the cart path. Understandable, but I have a bad leg and walking is difficult for me so I try to get as close as possible within reason. The end up getting ahead of us a few holes later, and as I pull op to the tee box they just finished hitting from, I see him parked on the grass next to the tee box far away from the cart path. So I kindly remind him to "stay on the cart path". He then responds, saying he is the "assistant manager" and that I have 2 options, either apologize, or leave the course. I said I am not apologizing and proceeded to leave. Terrible taste in my mouth now from a course I have greatly enjoyed over the years. I would like to be reimbursed for the golf I didn't get to enjoy because of your employees unreasonableness and rudeness for kicking me off while I still had 6 holes left to play. If he wants to act like my mother, maybe he'd better stick to the woman's tees.

We stumbled upon Blackberry Ridge and could never be more grateful! This is a MUST wedding venue! If I could get married all over again, I would keep coming back to Blackberry Ridge! Our initial venue tour is what had me sold, their staff was friendly and organized and their wedding packages are so inclusive. During planning, the Blackberry staff (Lauren) was there to answer and questions, concerns, and give her professional advice. The venue invited all of the brides for 2022, to come and taste test food and see the venue all “fancy”, it was the perfect touch! Lauren helped us through the entire wedding planning process to make sure that everything was perfect! We dropped off all of our décor the Thursday before our wedding, the staff set-up and took down everything for us. We arrived Sunday AM with all of our décor nicely placed into boxes! Wedding day was all about my wife & I. The staff always asking us if we needed anything. There was not a single hiccup on wedding day, that I know of! Connie was spectacular on wedding day, personally pulling us to enjoy some quiet time by ourselves. Our guests (and us) loved the food, everyone is still raving about it! Blackberry is family and they make you feel like you are a part of it! We love Blackberry and cannot wait to go golfing there this spring.

We could not say enough good things about Blackberry Ridge. Our event coordinator really sold us with how attentive and quickly she got back to us on communication. The venue itself is beautiful with big windows and overlooking the driving range where our ceremony was held. It really felt like a family run business, the night of our wedding every staff I came across would stop my husband or I and ask if needed anything or if we were good and had everything we needed. We chose the premium package where they set up and tear down for us which I will praise and recommend until the day I die. Their food was excellent we got so many compliments on our dishes, appetizers and the late night pizza! The day tan so smooth and we could not ask for a better venue or staff!

One review doesn’t really cover it all, but I am so beyond pleased with our wedding experience at Blackberry Ridge! My partner and I chose to hold our wedding reception at Blackberry, and they were great from our first tour to the tasting event, during the month of to the days of and after our wedding. I came into the week of the wedding somewhat nervous because I’d never planned a wedding before - but we were obviously in very experienced, professional and confident hands at Blackberry, and the whole staff knew exactly what to do. On the day of our wedding, the whole crew (Lauren, Jeanne, Donna, Abby, Megan, Lindsay, and the rest) was so enthusiastic, warm, and welcoming - they made sure the day was amazing. The Blackberry grounds and reception space are beautifully tended, so we got a lot of great pictures. Many of our guests had compliments for the delicious meals, the excellent service and beautiful space, and the fun of the outdoor dance. We chose to have the cleanup included, and when we returned to pick up our decor on the following morning, they were still offering us congratulations as we continued to rave about the reception. We truly had a wonderful wedding at Blackberry Ridge, and we definitely recommend the wonderful staff and beautiful space for weddings and other events!

I do a lot of traveling and love to play different courses. My co worker lives in St. Cloud so I wanted to play close to his house. This course looked very promising from the Swing U app. Prices are very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and we met the golf pro on the back nine and had a nice conversation with him and his group. Greens were in really good shape. Fairways were great. The rough was rough, but you could still find your ball. There a lot of challenging shots on this course, but the lay out is beautiful. Good Job! Hole 16 is a par 3. I went right of the green and really thought it was like a fairway, nope it was still the green which seemed like a 2 foot elevation change. Best hole on the course. Should be the feature hole in my opinion.
I highly recommend this hidden gem out in the country side. Joe from Kentucky.

We were just here this past weekend for our grand niece’s wedding. Such a beautiful setting. The food was delicious. It was the staff that made it all though. Friendly, organized, professional, fun, moving nonstop. They had three bartenders on upstairs the entire night, which was really nice for such a large amount of guests. There were plenty of staff serving, walking around busing, clearing empty drink glasses and bottles the entire night. That was really nice. So efficient, but unobtrusive at the same time. One gal boxed up all the table decorations in an careful and organized manner.
The staff clearly work very well together. Some may take this all for granted, but it really helped all the guests, parents, bride and groom, have a carefree day. Thank You.

I for one think the staff is amazing 👏 no complaints! there but from what I can tell you is, if you want an event in winter and its minnesota cold the way this building is designed has its faults the thermostats were set at 66 ok 👍 but the end guests will freeze! Most guests went home early because they we freezing 🥶 2ed biggest thing is the front entry way was not shoved chipped of ice and debris making it risky 😬 especially for the Olds crowds that can not afford and incident 😳 we were told they did not want the salts dragged inside. Is it not worth the clean up to keep everyone safe especially out more vulnerable? But if you can fix or do something to minigate that then the decor and the staff are out point!

For starters, as soon as you roll into the parking lot at Blackberry, you know its a professional place. You just feel excited to play when you arrive. The clubhouse is awesome and the patio seating is a nice touch. The food was also excellent. The course is in excellent shape and I know how meticulous the staff takes care of the course. This is a top notch course with excellent greens and great views from the tee boxes. My personal favorite hole is hole #15. High risk, high reward shot if you play out over the water and cut the corner. Then it's a little wedge to the green for a scoring chance. A layup with a long iron or hybrid leaves you a long second shot. Its a wonderfully designed hole!

As a wedding vendor, working with Blackberry Ridge Golf Club was a nightmare. The wedding was running behind schedule (as many do), so the bride and groom made a few tweaks to their schedule. This OUTRAGED the venue staff, which resulted in them literally cussing me out (as if I had control over the schedule, as the second shooter?). They were demanding and restrictive of the couple, and overall very difficult to work with.

The golf club and venue itself was pretty, but this experience with the staff was very disappointing.

Course was in great shape considering all of the heat this summer and the staff was absolutely welcoming knowing it was my first time there. Was paired up with a few local regulars who gave fantastic insight on each hole, which you need to not lose balls off the tee. Can’t wait to get back here for another round very soon!

Enjoying golf with friends includes clubhouse service, food and beverage service.
On the course the important things are greens roll, fairway lies, rough fairness, pace of play.
Friday's round was excellent in all aspects.
The friendliness, efficiency, and attentiveness from each staff person was beyond expectations.
The greens, fairways were all in excellent condition. The rough was tough, thick two inch grass, appropriate for errant shots. Our foursome walked in just under four hours.
Great day.

My brother came from Alexandria, I came from Minneapolis, Blackberry golf course was a pleasant surprise. The course isn’t easy and is challenging for any golfer. We were treated very well, and enjoyed the course, so much that we played the front nine twice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. It is a jewel located in Sartell. I loved the course so much I’m definitely going back to play now that I know the course.

Extremely disappointed with the Easter Lunch this Year. have been attending their Easter Brunch for over 6 years, and other events. We all understand the situation with Covid and that they could not have had buffet, but the quality of the food served could had been better at Perkings.
A chicken hen leg, dry and no sauce, two pieces of inexpensive deli pork/ham very dry, cheap potatoes gratin with cheese, and for dessert little cups of cheese cake. The bunny showed up one at the diner, he was too busy chasing golf carts outside.If they did not want to serve Easter, they could have just cancelled, better than to serve this mediocre meal at a very high end price.Finally, no Easter egg hunt, when other facilities have been able to do it outside. In conclusion, the chef was too lazy to prepare a meal worthy of their past reputation.

We got so many compliments on the delicious food prepared by their talented executive chef as well the exceptional service by all the staff there!!! The venue is stunning as well! We loved the vaulted ceilings with the draping and the beautiful windows over looking what happened to be a snowy golf course for us. The dance floor was also so beautiful with the special lights put above it! Sonja and Jeanne were so flexible with all of our special requests as well! Jeanne was also fantastic at making herself available to us the week leading up to our wedding and put an nerves or anxieties we had at ease. Honestly, we cannot thank them enough for the amazing day that we and our guests will never forget!!!

I don’t know where to start to begin to express my sincere gratitude for the entire staff at Blackberry Ridge. Sonja is absolutely fantastic to work with from the day you sign your contract through the minute your wedding is done. She is very thorough about literally every detail. Sonja went out of her way to ensure that our day was perfect, even though she wasn’t able to be there that night. As a bride, you don’t always know what to ask for or what to be looking for, but Sonja made the entire process working with Blackberry as or venue easy and stress-free. As a bride, anything someone can do to ease stress is so helpful. The food was wonderful – and came out on time, and they even cut our cheesecakes from another area vendor for us. Not many venues would cut and serve cheesecakes! They were accommodating to several guests with special diets, too. Since Blackberry Ridge is located in such a beautiful spot, we were able to have simple wedding decorations and really work with the beauty of the venue. Blackberry Ridge was close to the church our ceremony was held at and I am so glad we decided to use this venue. I highly recommend Blackberry Ridge to all wedding planning Brides & Grooms!

The staff at the wedding was ok but they were stacking up chairs when the dance was still going on which was very dis respectful and made people leave early which annoyed me a lot, since I was the groom and I love that part of weddings (the late dancing) OK place to get have your special day but wouldn't recommend it.
