The Course

Relaxed golf in
Cerro Gordo County.

Pleasant Valley Golf Course lives up to its name — a gentle nine-hole layout nestled into the rolling terrain south of Mason City. Mature trees line several fairways, and a creek winds through the back side, adding character without making things punishing.

This is a course built for enjoyment. The greens are well-kept, the pace is unhurried, and you’re likely to know half the people you run into. Bring the family or come solo — either way, you’ll leave relaxed.
