The conditions are unbelievable. The fairways and tee boxes are in pristine shape. The greens not only are so fast but they roll true. The pin positions can be a little dicey and you need to make sure to miss on the proper side of the green.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Ankeny, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
