Spirit Hollow Golf Course

The limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River create dramatic elevation changes that transform what could have been another Iowa farmland track into something genuinely memorable. Dick Nugent's routing threads through mature hardwoods and prairie grasses, with the back nine's cliff-top holes offering both spectacular vistas and legitimate strategic challenges. The finishing stretch along the river bottom tests every club in the bag, proving that municipal golf can deliver championship-caliber drama when the bones are this good.
