Rolling terrain at Charles City gives this Iowa track its natural rhythm
Rolling terrain at Charles City gives this Iowa track its natural rhythm. At 6,765 yards, the route uses grade changes that flat courses simply can't deliver. Slope of 118 puts Cedar Ridge squarely in moderate territory. Enough movement to keep things interesting, not enough to leave you gassed by the turn. Walking is confirmed and clearly welcomed here. The 80 walkability score reflects a layout built with pedestrians in mind. That kind of deliberate commitment shows in every hole transition, every green-to-tee walk. This is honest midwestern golf that rewards the golfer on foot.
