We have the family golfing and a swimming pool membership. Very friendly management and staff. The greenskeeper does an excellent job. The large, heated pool is well-maintained. The food is great. This quiet area tucked away in the Peninsula neighborhood of Iowa City is easy to access from either downtown or Interstate I-80.

My husband and I recently had our wedding reception here at the end of October. The event area has just been recently remodeled and is absolutely gorgeous. There was plenty of room for 140 of us to mingle while also having adequate seating. Peter and his staff absolutely knocked it out of the park. We had so much fun. Bartenders were great. Staff took care of everything so we could enjoy the night with our guests. Highly recommend hosting your event here!

We have been members of the Elks Lodge for over 10 years. Our 4 kids grew up around the pool. I love that lunch is served pool side and you can always enjoy adult beverages! The restaurant has amazing food and I can’t wait to see what all the renovations bring.

the Elks Lodge had a limited menu for a meeting I attended. Everyone at the table enjoyed their selection of chicken salad, lasagna, cheeseburger, and veggie lasagna! I would go back for more!

Love to swim here. You can order food and drinks from the pool! Course is challenging for a beginner!

Been a member for 49 years. The newly expanded and remodeled lodge will be open very soon, and is going to be fantastic. Food, pool, fun and golf. Can't be beat and will only be better with the new facility. Exceptional value.

Was a member as a kid and now I take my littles! Great little pool for small families. We like to go on Wednesday and Friday nights when there’s a poolside buffet. It’s not as crowded after 5 as it during the day.

Nice updated facility. Easy entrance for all. The Monday Morning Quarterback Club is a very friendly and open group of Hawkeye Supporters. Great speakers and good intelligent discussions.

Old school nostalgic vibe with brand new amenities. Don't know why not giving 5 stars. The pool is great.
