Rolling terrain at Arnolds Park gives the Iowa walking round its natural shape
Rolling terrain at Arnolds Park gives the Iowa walking round its natural shape. From the tips at 6,632 yards, the slope pushes to 126 with a course rating near 73. That's honest difficulty for a public track in Dickinson County. Four par-5s spread across the card mean you'll cover ground between scoring opportunities. The fifth hole carries the number one handicap, a par-4 that earns its reputation before you reach the turn. Five tee options stretch from 4,477 to the full length, so the course accommodates different games without compromising the walk. Not a showcase walking course, but one where the walker is clearly not an afterthought in the operational philosophy.
