About this course
Cub Run at Fox Run Golf Club is a public facility in Council Bluffs, Iowa, designed by Greg Sideras. Council Bluffs sits along the Missouri River across from Omaha, Nebraska, in the rolling terrain of western Iowa's Loess Hills region. The course occupies land shaped by glacial deposits and wind-blown sediment, giving the area its characteristic undulating topography distinct from the flatter agricultural plains found elsewhere in the state. Sideras, a regional architect active in the Midwest, typically works with existing landforms to create playable layouts for daily-fee and municipal facilities. Courses in this part of Iowa often feature elevation changes more pronounced than those found in the state's interior, with fairways that move through natural contours and creek corridors. The design likely incorporates these native features, routing holes through wooded sections and open areas that reflect the transitional landscape between river valley and upland prairie. Fox Run serves the Council Bluffs and greater Omaha metropolitan area as an accessible public option. The facility caters to a range of golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking a straightforward round without the formality or expense of private club golf. Courses of this type in smaller Midwestern cities typically emphasize playability and pace while maintaining conditioning standards appropriate to their market and climate.

Getting there
Fox Run Golf Club is most readily accessed via Eppley Airfield (ELM), Omaha's primary commercial gateway located just twenty minutes across the Missouri River in neighboring Nebraska, or alternatively through Des Moines International (DSM) for those routing from the east - both offering straightforward drives into Council Bluffs' quietly prosperous landscape. The final leg carries you southwest through the gently rolling terrain of southwestern Iowa, where the Missouri River valley's pastoral character gradually emerges, before arriving at Fox Run Golf Club itself, nestled among the region's native grasses and mature hardwoods. For those with access to private aviation, several regional strips serve the Council Bluffs area, affording a more discreet and expedited approach to the club's gates. The entire journey - whether routed through Omaha or Des Moines - unfolds as a graceful transition from the Great Plains' open horizon into the more intimate, wooded sanctuary where Fox Run's championship layout awaits.
