About the course
Layout with a combination of open holes and lots of technical wooded shots. Some water in play with loads of great elevation. Course is still new and is constantly being worked on, so the rough is thick. A fair amount of Ivy and Ticks so please be aware, and check yourself after each round. Was an old overgrown 9 hole course converted into a full 18 hole course unlike anything else int he Des Moines Metro Area. Course is designed by Avery Jenkins and Ryan Mapus, with assistance from Joe Thompson. Arguably one of the best finishing holes in the state, if not the country.

This is a great course. Needs some benches and whatnot but many fun, unique shots. Hole 18 is pro tour quality.

Great course. It’s a work out. Elevation. Trees. It has it all. Fun shots. I’d limit your shots to one off the tee. Their is some high grass and thick rough. Once signage is in it will be a five star course.
