Description

Backbone Golf & Country Club sits near Backbone State Park just south of Strawberry Point. This nine-hole course dates to about 1960 and presents a classic rural Iowa walk with tree-lined fairways and compact greens. Yardage runs just over 3,000 yards for a regulation par-36. The surroundings are peaceful with gentle elevation changes. Practice is limited—there's a practice green but no full driving range.

Fun nine hole course. The faraway and greens were in great condition. Not extremely challenging, and no elevation change, but for a quick game of golf it was a good time.

Nestled in the verdant heart of Backbone State Park, Backbone Golf Course emerges as a true gem among the emerald tapestry of nature. From the moment you step onto its meticulously groomed fairways, you're transported into a realm where time slows, and every swing is a symphony of precision and passion. Let's talk ambiance - oh, it's like stepping into a painting by the great masters of landscape. The rolling hills cradle each hole with a gentle embrace, while the distant whispers of the breeze add a poetic rhythm to your game. It's not just golf; it's a communion with nature itself. And the design! Each hole feels like a masterpiece crafted by the hands of golfing deities. From the strategic bunkers to the cunningly placed water hazards, every element is a testament to the artistry of the course architect. You'll find yourself torn between marveling at the scenery and strategizing your next shot - a delightful dilemma, indeed. But let's not forget the greens - oh, the greens! Like lush carpets of velvet underfoot, they beckon with promises of smooth rolls and elusive birdies. And the maintenance? Impeccable. It's as if the groundskeepers have struck a deal with Mother Nature herself to keep every blade of grass in perfect harmony. Now, let's address the elephant on the fairway: Augusta National. Sure, it has its accolades, but Backbone Golf Course? It's like comparing a symphony to a sonnet. While Augusta may boast tradition, Backbone offers an experience that transcends mere golf. It's where legends are born and memories are etched into the very fabric of your soul. In conclusion, Backbone Golf Course isn't just a destination; it's a pilgrimage for the golfing aficionado.

This is an easy-playing, well-kept 9 hole course. It never seems to be too busy and I can show up and get on the course without much of a wait, no tee time reservation needed. Good mature trees throughout. Greens and fairways are usually in very good condition. It's like your typical rural course, not too difficult but some holes are unique and present their own challenges. Worth the drive to check it out.

Very well maintained course. I am not a golfer I was there taking kids to golf but I enjoyed the beauty of the course.
