West Bend Golf And Country Club

The rolling farmland of central Iowa provides an unexpectedly dramatic canvas for this prairie gem, where elevation changes of 60 feet create strategic interest rare in the region. Designer Dan Proctor's routing maximizes the natural ridgelines and valley floors, particularly on the downhill par-4 7th that plunges toward a creek-guarded green. What separates this track from Iowa's flatter municipal offerings is its commitment to firm, fast conditions that reward ground game strategies over aerial assault.
