Indian Creek Country Club

Detailed description of Indian Creek Country Club

Indian Creek Country Club is a Semi-Private, 9 hole golf course located in Marion, Iowa. Indian Creek limits non-member usage to four rounds per year.

Indian Creek Country Club first opened for play in 1925. The course was built on 45 acres at the site of the old Marion Interstate Fair Grounds. At its inception, it was necessary to play between the fair buildings. During August each year, the course was closed for two weeks and the greens were fenced off to allow the annual fair to take place.

This is a short and flat course where shot accuracy is at a premium.  The fairways are narrow, and the greens are small and medium speed. There are additional tees that can be used when playing a double loop eighteen hole round.

The course plays to a 9-hole par of 34 and a maximum distance of 2,759 yards. The ladies tees play to a par of 36 and measures 2,674 yards. The layout has 13 sand traps, 3 ponds and a creek running across the course. The course is laid out so minimal walking is necessary and one can easily play nine holes in less than two hours.
