The 18-hole "American Legion" course at the American Legion Memorial Golf Course facility in Marshalltown, Iowa features 6250 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 69.5 and it has a slope rating of 115. The estimated green fees for 18 holes is $45. American Legion Memorial Golf Course Golf Club has an onsite driving range with 4 practice tees. The American Legion golf course opened in 1956.
There have been a few changes to the course over the last couple of months. On hole #2 which is the very long par 5 they removed the tree that was in the middle of the fairway right across the creek which is about 3/4 of the way to the green. This has really shaved the strokes off and made the hole much more manageable. The hole went from an automatic bogey to a good chance at par. Then the shared bunker on hole 3 and 15 is in the process of being filled in. Right now it is a large pile of dirt. I'm assuming it will be leveled out soon. The creek that runs through the middle of the course makes its presence known on at least 5 or 6 holes. Also the larger Linn Creek makes up the left boarder of holes 5 and 6, which seems to have a tendency to draw balls toward it! Make sure you enjoy the grill between the 9th and 10th. Great burgers and brats.
