Indianola Country Club is a private 18 hole golf club established in
1920. The course expanded from 9 to 18 holes when the new west nine was
opened for play in the spring of 2004. The course is kept in excellent
condition by Superintendent Joe Burke. Members enjoy the relaxed casual
atmosphere in the clubhouse. The Club currently has over 300 members and
memberships are available due to the expansion to 18 holes. If you like

The golf course consists of an older east 9 holes on the east side of
Country Club Road and "new" west 9 holes, that opened for play in the
spring of 2004, on the west side of Country Club Road. On most days,
players play hole #1 of the east nine, cross Country Club Road where the
new west nine is played as holes 2-10 of the 18 hole layout, and return to
the older east side for holes 11-18. On Tuesdays only the course is played
as two independent nines with the old east nine serving as the front nine
and the new west nine as the back nine.
The old east nine has been redesigned or
revised numerous times over the years. The two most recent changes were
the lengthening of hole #18 (#9 at the time) when a new green was built
and the conversion of hole #11 (#2 at the time) from a par 3 to a par 4 by
building a new tee back in the woods.
The new west nine was designed by Mark Kerr of
Kerr Golf Design and built by Ardo Schmidt Construction under Kerr’s
direction. They have partnered to complete a number of courses in Iowa and
the Midwest. One of their other recent projects is the daily fee course
Saddleback Ridge in Solon, Iowa which has received excellent reviews from
public course players in the area. The west nine routing follows small
streams in two intersecting valleys. The holes flow through mature trees
and go out into several open areas. Players have to cross the streams
several times and water comes into play on seven of the nine holes.
The course has 4 sets of tees which makes it a
fair challenge for players of all abilities. The yardages and ratings for
the various tees are:
