Golf in Cochrane

Cochrane is a small village in Buffalo County, set in the Driftless country of west-central Wisconsin along the Mississippi River. The village sits in the dramatic bluff country where the great river forms the state's western border, near the broad expanses of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The surrounding landscape is classic unglaciated terrain, with steep wooded ridges rising sharply above the river valley. Cochrane keeps the quiet, rural character typical of this remote corner of the state, in country defined by the Mississippi and the Driftless hills. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the bluffs and river country. With Buffalo City on the river nearby and La Crosse to the south, Cochrane offers an unhurried base for golf in one of the most scenic stretches of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin, where the bluffs tower above the water and the wildlife refuge spreads along the floodplain.
