Spring Valley

Rolling terrain at Livermore, Iowa gives the Iowa walking round its natural shape. At 6,421 yards over 18 holes, the route uses grade changes that a flat course can't provide. Slope of 117 puts this squarely in moderate territory: enough movement to notice, not enough to dread. Pace of play ratings run high here, which matters on a walking round where momentum is everything. Walkability score of 86 marks this as genuinely walking-forward in a region where the infrastructure has historically supported the walker. Worth the trip.
