American Legion Country Club

American Legion Country Club is an 18-hole golf course located in Shenandoah, Iowa. The course features a mix of challenging holes that test golfers of varying skill levels through strategic design and natural hazards.

Notable holes include the par-5 second, the longest on the course, which requires carrying a creek and pond on the tee shot before a blind approach over a hill to a large green. The par-4 fifth presents a risk-reward scenario with out-of-bounds left and narrowing tree lines. The dogleg-left 13th rewards aggressive play with a driver over the corner, while the par-4 14th is guarded by a prominent Cottonwood tree on the left and features a challenging two-tiered green that punishes long approaches.

The signature 18th hole offers an elevated tee shot framed by large trees creating tunnel vision down the fairway, with out-of-bounds left and tree protection right demanding accuracy before an uphill approach to the green. The course incorporates water hazards, including creeks and ponds, along with strategic tree placement throughout to create both visual interest and tactical challenges for golfers navigating the layout.
