Army Corps of Engineers park on Saylorville Lake. Mix of open and wooded holes, elevation, great balance holes. Gates are locked from mid-October to late April.

Sprawling layout, large teepads, clean modern restrooms, soda vending machine, ample trash/recycle bins, and water spigots/fountains on course. Beware of cliffs on hole #3 to your right and some very tight paths 10, 14, and 15. Have a map handy as there are some walks between holes.
