Sioux Country Club

Alton, Iowa

Sioux Golf & Country Club continues to uphold the tradition established by their golfing founders. Sioux Golf and Country Club history begins with an eastern trip that Mr. W.S. Slagle took in 1888. He was tempted by friends to try a new sport called golf which had recently been transplanted to America from Scotland and England.He was very intrigued with the game and purchased a supply of clubs and balls. On his return to Alton with his new equipment he decided to utilize a pasture, which he partially owned, directly west of his home and just west of the present MOC-Floyd Valley Middle School building. Initially he laid out four holes and later increased the layout to the customary nine. Soon many of his fellow Altonites had taken up the game. This Alton golf course has gone through many improvements since those early years, but it remains a local favorite. Grab your tee times today and enjoy a good ole' round of historic golf!
