Polk City, IA

Tournament Club of Iowa is located in Polk City, Iowa, about 15 miles northwest of Des Moines, routed through bluffs and ravines between Big Creek Dam and Saylorville Lake on a 500-acre site. The course was designed in 2003 by Erik Larsen of the Arnold Palmer Design Company, making it the only Arnold Palmer Signature course in Iowa. Water comes into play on more than half the holes via Big Creek and connected lakes and ponds, and the layout is noted for its collection of par-3s with forced carries and elevation drops. A 2024 renovation led by Larsen reworked the routing near the clubhouse. The club operates as a public daily-fee facility managed by Kahler Golf, with an extensive practice facility including a two-tiered driving range.
