About Ellis Golf Course

This Cedar Rapids municipal track punches well above its weight class, earning a solid 4.4-star rating from locals who know value when they see it. The course sits in a surprisingly picturesque setting for a city-owned facility, with mature trees framing several holes and enough elevation change to keep things interesting without beating you up. What really sets Ellis apart is the conditioning – they clearly take pride in maintenance here, keeping greens rolling true and fairways in better shape than courses charging twice the green fee. The layout rewards course management over raw distance, making it a thinking player's course where strategy trumps power. Walking is encouraged and the terrain accommodates it well, giving you time to appreciate the solid design work that maximizes the natural contours of the land. For the price point, you'd be hard-pressed to find better bang for your buck in the Cedar Rapids area, especially if you appreciate a course that respects both your game and your wallet.
