Description

Coldwater Golf Links brings a modern links-inspired feel to Ames with fescue framing and wind-exposed fairways. Designed by Tripp Davis and opened in 2003, the course blends risk-reward par 5s with exacting short holes. Strategic bunkering and angled greens reward placement more than brute force. A solid practice setup includes a driving range and short-game areas. From the back tees it's a par-71 with a demanding course rating and slope.

Came here to use the driving range. This property is very well-maintained, probably top 3 in my short experience with golf. I also like the ball dispenser vs. having to go into the clubhouse to purchase a certain bucket size like other places. You just pay to fill it up as much as you want. I get tired quickly (because I have a bad swing) so I don't need a full basket. My hubs ends up giving whatever he doesn't use to others anyway. Nice place! Not much interaction with staff which is A-OK for us.

Love this course! SUPER good maintenance, fun design, and absolutely delivers a Links experience you can’t really find elsewhere on Iowa courses.

Played Coldwater for the fist time today and wow! Worth the extra couple bucks. The greens were soft and receptive despite how dry it's been. Staff was nice and the pace was good. That being said, this is a players course so either hit the fairway or bring 20 balls. My driver woke up this morning and chose fairways so I went low today. So much fun! I'll be back! Also RIP Celia. Look at these fairways, so green!

Great links course , great coach on site in Jason, greens crew is phenomenal but the range balls are basically a scam. Horrible quality

I don't feel rather safw with how fast the people in the golf karts are driving, especially when they're crossing the public trail path. One individual almost hit me and didn't seem very apologetic about it either.
