“Ray,
Bob’s retirement party was an awesome event. The attendees loved the venue, the food, and the superb service. And while it was a pretty loud room, it was the sound of people truly enjoying the connections made over a 45 year career in the Ag industry. The Vardon was the perfect choice for our event. We thank you for your advice, organizational skills, and your leadership in putting together an outstanding team. We also appreciated your timely email and in person communication.
Our compliments to the chefs, who were heavily praised all evening. A special shout out to Kaylie, who worked her tail off and impressed us and so many of the guests.

“Hey Ray
I wanted to drop you a note, yesterday mom and I had lunch out at the Vardon, the food and service was superior! Emmy was our server, and she was fantastic! Mom had never been out there, and she kept commenting on how clean and bright it was and the staff was just happy.
It was a great experience, and I just wanted you to know!

“Reviewing just the restaurant at the club house. Serene, verdant setting within the golf course, plenty of parking and seating. Entrance is through the club shop selling golf accoutrements. Staff and manager are very friendly and eager to please. Ray even remembered our previous visit and even the wines we had ordered! A nice touch!
Food is top-notch and at reasonable prices too. Ordered Pork Shanks and Onion Petals for appetizers, accompanied by a glass of Leviathan California red blend - a relatively bold and dry wine with complex notes of oak, tobacco, and blackberry/plum. The Pork Shanks came with BBQ sauce and were tender/flavored; the lightly battered Onion Petals were a novelty, and tasty despite being under-salted. Dinner for three consisted of house salads, Delmonico Steaks with Veggies and Sweet Potato Fries, and Vardon Fish and Chips (substantituted by crispy string fries). Food was wonderful; steaks were perfect at medium-rare, fish (white fish, assuming, Walleye) was lightly battered, crisp, and perfectly salted. Sides of Creamed Spinach, Veggies, and Sweet Potato Fries too were tasty. Overall, a great place to dine (and of course, golf) while in Minot.”

We can’t wait to return next year!”
“Recently we held the Minot Public School Foundation’s Oktoberfest Golf Scramble. It was a huge success and would not have been possible without the timely and efficient help of the Vardon Golf Course. Especially Ray Cook. Well done.”
