Course name
Southwoods Park Disc Golf Course
Course location
West Des Moines, Iowa
Headline
Designed by 2009 Disc Golf World Champion, Avery Jenkins in cooperation with West Des Moines Parks & Recreation!
Description
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.
