Curated put together a list of the top golf destinations in the United States, and I stumbled on it the other day. I was shocked to see that Minnesota was on the list not once, but twice! What makes these Minnesota cities so great?

The list features cities with the most courses per capita. They base it on the number of courses per 100,000 people. They used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and ranked metro areas by how many golf courses and country clubs are in the area.
