Cannon Falls, Minnesota
With 27 holes on three distinct nines, Gopher Hills Golf Course and McArthur’s Wood Grill Restaurant is located just 30 minutes South of the Twin Cities – between Hastings and Red Wing in Cannon Falls, MN. Designed by Dr. Gordon Emerson and first opened in 1995, the original nine (now holes 10-18) has the mark of a classic, Early American layout, featuring tree-lined fairways, sculpted bunkers, numerous elevation changes, and plenty of risk/reward opportunities. An 18-hole expansion in 1999 by Garret Gill added a strong European flavor, with a front nine and executive nine; each using wind, native grass, and undulating greens as defense against par.
