Description

One of the oldest municipal courses in the U.S., Bright Grandview dates to 1902 on Des Moines' east side. The par-70 layout is shorter by modern standards but defends par with domed greens and mature trees. Elevation changes and tight corridors reward placement and short-game touch. It's a favorite for leagues and walkers seeking a traditional, affordable round. There is no on-site driving range, but nearby city courses offer practice facilities.

Nice course. Enjoyed the rolling hills and tree lined fairways. They started a Friday Night Couples Tournament which may be a frequent event this summer. Awesome Pizza and Draft Beer on Tap to finish your visit.

Short older gentleman was extremely rude before we even started golfing. My husband and son stayed and golfed but we left. If they don’t allow spectators, it should be made extremely clear when booking tee times. Even if he would have asked us nicely to not ride along, that would have been disappointing but understandable. He came up on us aggressively with a horrible attitude. We will be golfing else where from now on.

Clubhouse A Tee boxes C- Fairways C Greens F-- You can't even putt several greens. They put them on a 15 degree slope and no way to stop your ball on glass like finish with wind today. We had to just call 2 putt on 8 and 17. Never golfing here again. I get that it's a short course but you literally could 10 putt these two greens at least. Just ridiculous. I had a very short putt and that missed by 1 inch and rolled 30 feet of the green after I had a perfect chip that almost hit the pin but also rolled 30 feet off the green. The worst course I've ever played. Even really nice courses like Veenker during the Iowa masters doesn't do stuff like this. Might as well put it 90 degrees on the side of something.

Great public golf course and it's in good condition. There are a few fairways and greens close together but lots of mature trees keep you out of neighboring fairways.
