The Lowdown on Des Moines

Des Moines Golf and Country Club was founded in 1897, but has resided in four different locations.  Since 1966, the Club has occupied 475 acres on the western edge of West Des Moines.  It is the leading full-service country club in Des Moines and is among the most innovative clubs in the Midwest.  Both 18-hole courses are original Pete Dye designs and consistently appear in the top 10 Golf Digest state rankings.  In 1999, the Club hosted the record setting Twentieth United States Senior Open Championship on a composite of the two courses.  The same routing will be used for the 2017 Solheim Cup.

The Solheim Cup tournament course is being made up of holes 1-9 on the North Course; holes 10-16 on the South Course and holes 17 and 18 on the North Course.
