Public country club
Course is top grade and in great shape. Concierge service from the staff. Why join a country club when you have a public course like this?

Links style with ponds, mounds and long grass
This course is sort of out of place in the middle of Iowa. Lots of ponds dot the course, especially off the landing area of the fairways. If you spray the ball off the tee, this is not for you. Most greens have multiple sand traps. The sand needs more attention to make it more playable. The one real positive of the course is I think the greens are well maintained and lush. It was hard to get a consistent feel for the speed, but still nicely kept greens
