Wandering Creek Golf Course
About Wandering Creek Golf Course
Wandering Creek is a nine-hole golf course serving the Marshalltown area, open for more than 20 years. True to its name, a creek comes into play as a hazard on four of the nine holes, and the layout is known for its maintained greens and a design that suits a range of skill levels.
In January 2021, two Full Swing golf simulators were added to the clubhouse, allowing play and practice through the Iowa winter, including a winter league, with a selection of courses from around the world.
The course sits just off the bike trail near Grimes Farm, and a pergola area provides a spot for riders and visitors to stop for a drink.
