Ames Golf & Country Club is a private club located in Ames, Iowa, designed by Donald Sechrest. The course serves the university community of Iowa State and the surrounding area, offering a traditional Midwestern layout characteristic of Sechrest's work in the region during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The routing takes advantage of the gently rolling terrain typical of central Iowa, with mature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that provide strategic interest without severe slopes. Sechrest, who designed numerous courses throughout Iowa and the Upper Midwest, typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating thoughtful bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach shots. The course reflects this design philosophy, with holes that require positioning off the tee and careful club selection into greens that feature subtle contours. Water comes into play on several holes, adding variety to the strategic demands. The club functions as a social and recreational hub for Ames residents and Iowa State faculty, staff, and alumni. Its facilities support both golf and other country club activities typical of private clubs in college towns throughout the Midwest. The course provides a setting for member play, junior golf programs, and local amateur competitions, maintaining its role as a community gathering place in a city known primarily for its university.
