2016 Ryder Cup -- Hazeltine National Golf Club

[RG33]

I know it is early -- but I got the email this morning to purchase 4 tickets to the Ryder Cup next year at Hazeltine (we did last year in Scotland and it was awesome). We are probably going to fly in on Tuesday, play some golf hopefully, check out Minneapolis/St. Paul a bit (none of us have been there), and we are hoping to get either Saturday and/or Sunday tickets.

Need some advice on:

Where should we stay? Minneapolis or St. Paul?
Hotel Suggestions? Best neighborhoods for restaurants & night life?
Golf courses to play? We'd prefer something within a 90 minute drive.
Restaurant suggestions? We're all foodies and would love to check out some great spots.
Other Activities? With a golf/sports/food/drinks focus, anything that is easy and local and a must-do?

Thanks - RG33

DLIII announced his vice captains today. Stricker, Furyk and Tiger. Eldrick says he would like to be a playing assistant, but that seems unlikely. Hopefully Furyk is happy with just being a captain and doesn't intend on playing, though he is probably the better bet to actually qualify.

Good Lord - "team player" - that's not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Tiger....

I will also be out there Friday - Sunday. Bought tickets in the presale for Saturday and Sunday. I will as of now renting an RV with 4-5 guys and driving out there and staying in the RV (don't know where yet).

I will be looking for all the same advice as you, so as I come across information I will share as well.
