About this course

Carroll National Golf Club occupies the grounds of the former Carroll Country Club in Carroll, Iowa, roughly 90 minutes northwest of Des Moines. The club traces to 1922 and was renamed in 2024 after Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse, a Carroll native, purchased the property with his family.

The 18-hole layout designed by Jack Hawkins stretches to 6,305 yards from the back tees at a par of 71, with a clubhouse, restaurant, pool and practice facilities on site. Carroll National is semi-private, offering memberships alongside daily green fees for public golfers, with tee times booked by phone.
