In 2009, Golf Digest ranked it the #1 Municipal Golf Course in the state of Iowa. Haven't played all of them but it is one of the best municipal courses I have ever played. My playing partner and I got the early bird special ($35 each for 18 holes with a cart). Range balls were free and they gave us a second cart (for free) so that my wife (who doesn't play golf) could ride along. Course was beautiful and it was almost empty. Played in less than three hours. Tremendous bargain and an Iowa friendly staff.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
