About Willow Vale Golf Club
Willow Vale Golf Club is a 9-hole course set among rolling hills and stands of native willow in Mapleton, Iowa. The layout was shaped to follow the natural landscape, with fairways and greens that fit into the surrounding terrain rather than cutting against it.
Open views and quiet ponds define the setting, and the course is laid out to give experienced golfers something to work with while remaining approachable for those newer to the game.
