Rolling terrain in Altoona gives this Iowa course its natural shape
Rolling terrain in Altoona gives this Iowa course its natural shape. At 6,357 yards, the route uses grade changes that a flat layout simply cannot provide. Slope of 116 puts this squarely in moderate territory. Enough movement to notice, not enough to dread. A walkability score of 74 lands in respectable range. Not a showcase walking course, but one where the walker is clearly not an afterthought in the operational philosophy.
