Beaver Hills at Beaver Hills Country Club

Beaver Hills Country Club sits in Cedar Falls, a college town in northeast Iowa along the Cedar River valley. The course was designed by Larry Packard, a Minnesota-based architect who worked extensively throughout the Upper Midwest from the 1960s through the 1990s. Packard's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain features of their sites, and Beaver Hills reflects this approach within the rolling landscape characteristic of the region.

The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and wooded corridors, creating a parkland-style layout that moves through mature tree lines and open fairway corridors. The terrain provides natural strategic interest, with doglegs and approach shots that require consideration of both distance and angle. Water features appear on several holes, and Packard's green complexes typically offer variety in size and contour to test short game skills.

As a private club in a mid-sized Iowa community, Beaver Hills serves as a social and recreational center for local members and their families. The club hosts regional amateur competitions and maintains a traditional country club atmosphere with dining and event facilities. The course provides a familiar setting for golfers in the Cedar Valley area, balancing challenge with accessibility in a landscape shaped by the agricultural and residential character of northeast Iowa.
