River Road Golf Club is a Semi-Private, 9 hole golf course located in Algona, Iowa.

The fairways are wide, and the greens are undulating. A pond and a creek could come into play on a couple of holes, but you will really have to miss your shot. Some of the greens and tees are elevated, and all the greens are undulating and average-sized.

The signature hole is #4, the 505-yard, par 5, featuring a tee box that is about sixty feet above the green, offering a view of the entire course.
