Golf in Indianola

Indianola is the Warren County seat south of Des Moines, known as the hot air balloon capital of the world — the US National Hot Air Balloon Championship is held at Simpson College each summer. The dramatic balloon launches that fill the Iowa sky during the championship create a distinctive community identity. Golf serves the Indianola area's community in the south Des Moines suburban landscape. Golf in this Iowa community provides the recreational and social infrastructure that sustains community life in the agricultural heartland, where the course serves farmers, small business owners, teachers, and county professionals in a setting shaped by the productive Iowa landscape.
