Best buy on Golfnow in the Metro Area
Excellent shape and friendly staff made the drive worth it. Enjoyed the variety in the hole design and layout. We will be back soon.
Has great service
Course was in excellent shape great service would recommend it!!!
Great bang for your buck.
Great conditions for this time of year. Great elevation changes. You need a cart here. Beverage cart girl asked what we wanted early and stayed stocked for the day.
Great value.
Challenging but fair course. Excellent value for seniors. My favorite course in the area.
excellent
fun place to play nice people, .I would recommend people drive to this course.
Great staff and good round of golf for the price
Played 18 with a cart for $32 a person on Golfnow.com. The course was in good shape and the staff was very helpful. I'll be coming back and would recommend Gopher Hills to a friend.
love 2 different nines
Love the course. Front links style. Back the old nine fun. Some elevation changes. Always been in good shape. Played there about 15 times through the years. Great play for the buck. Very friendly staff.
interesting design
some very tough holes, great views, course is in very good condition
Very scenic - great condition
The front and back nines are very different. The front is a links type course that looks open but it has a lot of long grass and marshes that all to frequently come into play. The back nine goes out through mature woods with narrow openings and more water hazards than the front.
The course is in terrific shape. Tees, fairways, greens are some of the best overall conditions I have played this year. Rough is not watered and can be a challenge if too far from the fairway. Outside of the rough and near cartpaths the conditions were close to pristine
This is a beautiful course. I have played here before and brought a camera with me this time to take some pictures back home. The picture I posted is the view from the first tee.
Challenging course with significant topography changes
Pleasant country drive to Miesville on a cool autumn morning. Corn fields abound as you pass acre after acre of farm fields. As you roll into Miesville, the Mudhens stadium greets you along with about 40 residences, 2 eating establishments and a church. Turn down Cty Rd 91 about 2 miles and topography begins to change. A beautiful club house and seclusion from metro hustle-&-bustle. Rolling terrain, large elevation differences without huge distance limitations. If you are in good shape walk. If NOT - ride! greens and fairways green and lush. Good yardage marking, 150 yard markers easy to see and they frame your shot. A few blind shots, but most are identifiable. Outstanding views from more than tee box and green. This is a fun course with challenging holes for all skill levels.
I recommend, however this wasn't a fun round
Ok so approach with caution, however there is some good golf to be had at this course. To explain; the staff was dismissive and unable to accommodate me with my tee time that I had purchased ahead of time. Even after loading up my cart and returning to the club house they were unable to provide me with a location to tee off. They offered me the par 3 course while I waited. On my way there I saw no one at #1 of the main course. I was able to sneak on the front nine with no one really caring. Fun course with elevation changes up and down the fairways. Challenging with out obscene length, blind shots on a few holes keep the course interesting. Course was in decent shape, however if the staff isn't able to get pre paid players on the course, there may be a problem there.
Nice Challenge. Good Track
Back nine is more challenging than the front. Fairways are wide enough but there are several blind shots that you won't know where to aim if you haven't played the course before. Overall, a good value for the money and worth the driver out to Cannon Falls. Greens in good condition but a little slow. Definitely soft enough to absorb approach shots so little to problem stopping the ball on the green. Will play again and probably score better having seen the course once.
Great course grounds.
Pro-shop personnel take your money but that is as far as it goes. Took ten minutes to clean the garbage out of two carts enough that we could use them.
Went to club restaurant to eat after and staff was more interested in the locals hanging out at the bar than serving us in a timely and correct manner (food order wrong, took forever to get bill).
Gopher Hills is a great value!
course was in GREAT shape the day I played it. It plays very fair and has a nice layout. I brought a couple buddies with who had never played the course before (yes, I had) and they were very impressed with the course overall.
When the name includes "Hills."
This very challenging 18 hole couse belies the slope rating of 120. I have recently played courses with a slope rating of 130+ and found them much easier. With very few flat hitting surfaces, one constantly has the ball below or above your feet. You are constantly hitting uphill or downhill. Obviously I did not play well on this course. The course was in excellent condition, the staff was minimal and hurried. I won't be returning very often.
Great course for the money and the slops are challenging.
Very unique course with rolling hills and great scenery. For the most part the women's tees are friendlier.
If you go for hills ....play here!
Fun course to play. The course is hilly and the greens are quick but roll true. Some of the fairways had winter damage, so they had some rough and bare patches, but overall the course was in good shape. I would recommend riding a cart if it's a hot and sunny day, as there is very little shade.
Very scenic course out in the country.
We love this course. It was very well maintained with some challenging holes. When we golfed, it wasn't too busy because of potential rain in the forecast. Lovely course layout. Being out in the country you can hear the birds sing. Highly recommend trying out the course.
Good for the price
This course could be maintained better and provide more hazards, but for the money this course is a bargain. Would be a great course for beginners.
