Maple Valley Golf & Country Club, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Rochester, Minnesota.
Built in 1964 and designed by architect Wayne Idso who turned his second generation farm into a links style course. The course plays over gently rolling terrain and is bordered by the Root River which encircles 15 holes.
Bordered by white limestone bluffs that rise 75 feet above you, and the Root River that parallels some holes, this is a pretty course. The natural rolling terrain, mature tree-lined fairways, and natural water hazards help to make Maple Valley what it is. A variety of fairways ranging from narrow and tree lined to wide open will challenge your driving skills. The greens slightly sloped, medium-sized and moderate in speed. Ponds come into play on three holes.
Maple Valley is a par 71 course and plays to 5,916-yards from the blue tees, 5,711 yards from the whites and 5,140 yards from the reds tees.
In 1990, Wyane started the construction of his 2nd course, St. Charles Golf Course, St. Charles, MN. Another Beautiful hole, par 72 course. Since then,Wayne has helped with the development and construction of two other courses; Cedar Valley in Winona, MN and Riverview Greens in Stewartville, MN.
