The course layout at our club is a true gem. The renowned Donald Sechrest of Tulsa, Oklahoma, designed the 18-hole, 114-acre course in 1971. Sechrest’s work incorporates lush fairways, tees and perfectly-groomed greens, which are irrigated and surrounded by a few small, strategically-positioned lakes. Play spans 6,675 yards from the longest tees for a par of 71. We have four tee lengths, making Ames the perfect round of golf for players of all skill levels.
The best drive is in the middle of the fairway between the tree lines on each side. This sets up an important second shot down the fairway that is best positioned left of center to avoid the water hazard on your right. The shot into the green can be tricky as this green has significant slopes left to right and on the front and rear edges. A shot to the center of the green takes the water surrounding the green on three sides out of play and sets up the best chance for par or better.
