Private clubs in the Twin Cities don't always prioritize walkers, but Golden Valley lets you hoof it across genuine Minnesota terrain
Private clubs in the Twin Cities don't always prioritize walkers, but Golden Valley lets you hoof it across genuine Minnesota terrain. At 6,694 yards with a 144 slope, the hills here aren't decorative. They're the round. Expect climbs between greens and tees that remind you this land wasn't flattened for convenience. The 70 walkability score reflects reality: manageable but not effortless. You'll feel this one in your legs by the turn. Members who walk regularly will find their rhythm. First-timers should pace themselves through the opening holes before the back nine starts demanding more. Not a showcase walking layout, but the club clearly hasn't designed walkers out of the equation either.
