course, number and distance of holes,
Is as follows:
The links of the Marshalltown Coun-
try club are built close to the Iowa
river. The club house is beautifully
situated and surrounded by large shade
trees. A dixie ten feet wide and four
feet high, which was built in an early
day to protect the low land beyond,
extends diagonally thru the eighty
acres belonging to the club. This dixie
makes an ideal hazard. as seven of the
nine holes are laid out over the dixie
