Waveland Golf Course

About Waveland Golf Course

This Des Moines municipal gem punches well above its weight class, earning a stellar 4.5-star rating from over 400 golfers who've discovered what locals have known for years. The course sits in a surprisingly varied landscape for central Iowa, taking advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree lines that give each hole its own character. What really sets Waveland apart is the conditioning - rare for a public track at this price point, the greens roll true and the fairways stay playable even during peak season when other munis start showing wear. The real draw here is the walker-friendly layout and the genuine municipal golf atmosphere where you'll find everyone from scratch players to weekend warriors sharing the same tee times without pretense. Don't expect championship yardages or designer bunkering, but do expect solid golf holes that reward good shots and honest value that's become increasingly hard to find. It's the kind of course that reminds you why you fell in love with the game in the first place.
