About this course

Clifton Hollow Golf Club's Par 3 course in River Falls, Wisconsin, was designed by Gordon Emerson and serves as a short-game complement to the club's main layout. River Falls sits in the St. Croix River valley region of western Wisconsin, where the terrain features rolling hills, wooded corridors, and natural water features characteristic of the area's glacial topography. The course occupies land that likely takes advantage of this varied elevation and natural setting. Par 3 courses of this type typically function as practice facilities, family-friendly options, or quick-play alternatives for members and guests. The design would feature a series of short holes ranging from wedge distance to mid-irons, allowing golfers to work on their approach game and putting in a less time-intensive format than a regulation round. Given the region's landscape, the routing probably incorporates elevation changes and natural hazards that require shot variety despite the abbreviated yardages. Clifton Hollow's Par 3 layout fits within a broader tradition of Wisconsin golf facilities that offer multiple playing options on a single property. These shorter courses serve both competitive players seeking focused practice and recreational golfers looking for an accessible introduction to the game. The course operates as part of the club's overall amenities in a community located roughly thirty miles east of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Getting there

The journey to Clifton Hollow Golf Club begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, roughly an hour's drive east into the pastoral countryside of western Wisconsin. The route traces the St. Croix River valley, where the interstate gives way to rolling farmland and wooded bluffs, before arriving in the quiet college town of River Falls. Tucked into this serene landscape, Clifton Hollow reveals itself not with fanfare but with understated grace - a hidden gem where the journey's final miles feel less like arrival and more like discovery.
