River Road Golf Club

Detailed description of River Road Golf Club

River Road Golf Club is a Semi-Private, 9 hole golf course located in Algona, Iowa.

River Road Golf Club first opened for play in 1974. The course was designed by Kent Hoover.

The fairways are wide, and the greens are undulating.  A pond and a creek could come into play on a couple of holes, but you will really have to miss your shot. Some of the greens and tees are elevated, and all the greens are undulating and average-sized.  

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees, the course plays to 3,080 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 2,919 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 4, a par-5 that plays to 505 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 3, a par-3 that plays to 159 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, a 392 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 1, a 324 yard par-4.

The signature hole is #4, the 505-yard, par 5, featuring a tee box that is about sixty feet above the green, offering a view of the entire course.
