With four sets of tees on each hole, golfers can play to their ability without feeling over-matched on our regulation 18-Hole Championship Golf Course. The course is located just 30 minutes north of downtown Des Moines, contiguous to Jester Park . Enjoy the peaceful and beautiful countryside and occasional glimpse of wildlife during your round. You'll find that our multiple sets of tees, generous fairways, medium length rough, hazards, and gently rolling greens will keep you challenged for 18 holes. If you are just learning to play or want to work on your short game, then our 9-hole Par 3 Golf Course will be a perfect alternative to our 18-hole course. Well-manicured tee areas and closely mowed fairways and greens on the Par 3 give golfers the 'big course' feel. Avid and beginning golfers have at least one thing in common.they both need to practice. The Jester Park Learning and Practice Facility is a state-of-the-art complex that exists for those who wish to learn or enhance their golf game. A teaching professional gives lessons and technique consultations to all ages. Over five acres of grass tee area provide plenty of space for hitting long range. A nice selection of sand bunkers, bunker target areas, and chipping/putting greens will enhance your short range and specialty strokes.
