Golf in Ames

Ames is a Boone and Story County city home of Iowa State University, one of the nation's premier land-grant research universities. The ISU Cyclones athletics programs, the university's agricultural and engineering research, and the academic culture create a vibrant college city in the Iowa prairie. Multiple golf courses serve the Ames community — from the historic Veenker Memorial to municipal facilities — in the Story County agricultural and academic landscape. Iowa's position at the heart of the American agricultural economy — one of the world's most productive farming regions — creates communities shaped by land values, commodity markets, and the natural seasons, and local golf serves as a year-round social institution in this distinctively Midwestern setting.
