Fox Hollow would be just under 30 minutes and would add to list.

Agreed, that’s probably middle of the pack of the ones I named. Just a little further out there. Wild marsh in buffalo is great too

@kirkeide1 has a really nice list. I would add some south west tracks that you will be within striking distance of:
- Legends
- Wilds
- Willingers

Just remember, never walk the Wilds.

@kirkeide1 's list is great, I might add Bluff Creek (EP) for cheap round and Meadowbrook (mainly for proximity to Hopkins) and Brookview. I haven’t been back to Brookview since my 5.5hr pre-covid round so I would say that is a last resort. Glen Lake is a decent practice facility and executive 9 holer. Wild Marsh is a great suggestion but a drive.
Also, the Raspberry Festival in DT Hopkins is a good time if you have kids. If you’re a pull tabs player, this is my list in order:
Bunny’s
Hopkins VFW
Tuttles
That’s it, that’s the list

Agreed, and also bring OFF-Deep Woods when heading to Willingers in mid summer.
Wild Boar’s Happy Hour Wednesday Wing deals are also a highlight in Hopkins, as is LTD brewing.

Absolutely, DT Hopkins is underrated IMO

Totally agree. I’ve watched many a Vikes game (loss) at Mainstreet as well. Not too far is also maybe potentially possibly the best doughnuts in the Twin Cities at YoYo.

Yea, I have done the same at Pub 819 with the Vikings. My vote for best donut is still Valley Pastries in New Hope, but who am I kidding, I’ll eat just about any donut that is put in front of me.

Honestly, it slipped my mind. Not even a golf course in my head anymore, just an abomination

I live a couple blocks north of downtown Hopkins. I’ll show you the ropes!

I would add American Legion in Hopkins to this list as well. I’ve only been a couple times, but it’s been a blast.
