Gopher Hills Golf Course

Cannon Falls sits forty miles south of the Twin Cities, close enough for a morning drive but far enough to feel like you left something behind. Gopher Hills rolls through southeastern Minnesota terrain that was built for walking. The 6,355 yards play longer than the card suggests because the elevation changes are constant. Not brutal. Just present. Slope of 122 tells you the course has opinions about shot placement. The restaurant means you can linger after the round without rushing home. An 87 walkability score in cart-happy Minnesota says something about how this place was designed. The walking golfers who find it tend to keep finding it.
