The Falls at Grand Falls Casino

Located in the northwest corner of Iowa, The Falls at Grand Falls Casino course is a Rees Jones layout which takes its design inspiration from the casino resort courses around Las Vegas, hence the 30-foot waterfall that flows into a 12-acre lake at the 18th hole.

Owned and operated by the Kehl family, who also developed the Blue Top Ridge course at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort along with Rees Jones, this 18-hole Grand Falls layout is draped across a 150-acre property, with nearly all of the fairways orientated in a north-south direction.

Standout holes include par fives at the 7th and 17th (both played to greens benched into the mounding that forms the waterfall feature at the closing hole); the short par four 14th (which crosses a creek in front of the green); and the par three 18th, where severe fall offs around the water-protected home green afford a do-or-die finish to the round.
