The course plays to 2,688 yards from the longest tees with a par of 36 and features a course rating of 35.0 with a slope rating of 108. Originally established in 1896, the course opened in 1920 and is known as an award-winning facility that integrates naturally with the terrain, offering elevation changes and scenic views of the Iowa River.

The course is characterized by its short game demands, featuring blind approach shots, side-hill lies, and strategically placed greenside bunkers on nearly every hole. While relatively brief in length, it requires solid wedge play and demands straight driving to navigate effectively.
