About the course

Diamondhead Lake in Dexter Iowa used to boast an 18 hole championship level golf course back in the 1970’s and 80’s. However, since the spring of 2021 it’s been transformed into a championship level disc golf course. The course starts out with a couple of tight technical shots and then kicks back into the fields for some distance where you can let em rip. Getting out of here with par should feel like a big win! Plenty of par 4’s and holes to score on, as well as some birdieable par 3’s. Water hazards and unique greens make for an interesting and challenging round. Temp signs are up. Still a work in progress but we'd love to hear your feedback. This course will only continue to improve over time, and will host some amazing tournaments. Contact us to come play a round 🤙
