Golf in Farmington

Farmington in Dakota County hosts two golf courses — Fountain Valley and Southern Hills — that serve the growing southern suburban communities along the I-35 corridor. Dakota County's expansion south of the Twin Cities has brought Farmington from a small agricultural town to a significant suburban community, and the golf infrastructure has grown with the residential population. The surrounding Minnesota landscape's glacial legacy creates natural scenic context for the golf course, connecting players to the lakes, forests, and prairies that define the state's remarkable natural diversity. Minnesota's golf season, while shorter than warmer states', is played with genuine enthusiasm by a community that maximizes every warm day as part of the active outdoor life defining residential quality here.
