The Project

Echo Valley is an award-winning golf course, named “2013 Course of the Year” by the Iowa Golf Association. In the fall of 2016, Howrey Construction removed over a mile of existing asphalt and replaced it with 5,300 lineal feet of 8 feet wide, 4 inches thick concrete cart path for the entire 9 holes, nicknamed “The Creek”.
