We have recently been awarded one of the Best Places to Play Golf according to Cityview. Our course has always been and will continue to be one of the finest and best maintained golf courses in the state of Iowa. The course is located just 30 minutes North of downtown Des Moines. Jester Park Golf Course has an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course and a 9 hole Par 3 Executive Course, With four sets of tees on each hole, golfers can play to their ability without feeling over matched on the 18 Hole Championship Course.
