Blue Top is 20 miles south of Iowa City down Route 218 to Route 22 east at the Riverside Casino.

The layout provides for a mix of parkland and links-style design elements with numerous water hazards and well bunkered fairways and greens. The front nine begins through a meadow area then ventures down into the Iowa River valley floor while the backside moves up in the hills with a stirring finish. It's a Rees Jones design of 7,442 yards from the $1,000 tees, 77.6/146, course/slope ratings with four shorter tees.
