Hyperion is a private country club established in 1900 and the present golf course is a Tom Bendelow design that started play in 1910. Bendelow also was the architect of Medina's courses #1,2,and 3 and also Olympia Fields Country Club. The Senior LPGA played the Hy Vee Classic at Hyperion for seven years. The Herman Sani Invitational has been held for more than 50 years ( Masters winner Zach Johnson is a past champion ) and Hyperion is the home of the Iowa Hickory Classic Golf Championship featuring some of the best hickory players in the nation. This is a true delight to play and the course is always in the BEST possible condition.
Please ignore previous rating comment made in 2009 by person who played course in 2008...Trust me !!!
Would travel: 120-300 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
