Countryside Golf Course

Countryside Golf Course's 18-hole layout takes golfers across 160 acres of bucolic, gently undulating Iowa countryside. The horticultural oasis challenges golfers from the moment they stake their tree slivers into the soil of the first tee box, which plays into a 574-yard par 5 featuring a subtle dogleg-right and a green guarded by sand and water on either side to form the course's hardest-rated hole. Water comes into play on seven holes—including six of the first nine holes—placing a high premium on precise approach shots and ties to Poseidon's family tree.

After traversing the Bent grass circuit astride a golf cart, which helps hunt down wayward drives while daydreaming about a dream job as a Mars rover, players can head toward the clubhouse for a post-round meal or drink. At the wooden u-shaped bar, guests can crack open a beer and refuel with hot dogs and sandwiches.
