About this course
Beaver Creek Golf Club's East course is located in Grimes, a northwestern suburb of Des Moines in central Iowa. The facility operates as a public golf course serving the greater Des Moines metropolitan area. The course sits within the gently rolling terrain characteristic of central Iowa, where modest elevation changes and natural creek corridors provide the primary topographical interest in an otherwise prairie landscape. The routing likely incorporates the property's namesake creek system into several holes, creating both strategic interest and natural hazard features. Central Iowa courses of this type typically feature tree-lined fairways, with mature hardwoods framing holes and defining playing corridors. The relatively flat to gently rolling land allows for straightforward walking and accessible golf, though prevailing winds from the west and southwest can significantly affect play during much of the season. As a public facility in a growing suburban area, Beaver Creek serves a range of golfers from beginners to experienced players. The course provides a local option for daily-fee play in a region where public golf access has expanded considerably over recent decades. The East designation suggests the property includes multiple courses or nines, a common configuration for higher-volume public facilities that allows for varied routing and pace-of-play management.

Getting there

The drive north from the terminal traces a quiet progression from suburban fringe into open countryside, where cornfields and tree-lined sections of highway give way to the club's pastoral setting in Grimes.
