Menlo’s 5×80 Golf & Country Club has received the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s ‘Friend of the School’ award, on behalf of West Central Valley High School. The golf course has partnered with local high school golf for nearly four decades and continues to open up their facilities so student-athletes can practice and compete. In addition to providing a place to golf for countless Stuart-Menlo and now West Central Valley competitors, the venue also serves as the district’s cross country course. The IHSAA has provided the 5×80 Golf & Country Club with a certificate honoring their commitment to the success of local high school programs.
