Teeing Up for an Exciting Year at GCGC – New Golf Pass Structure

Grinnell College Golf Course is looking forward to an exciting year ahead. From reinvesting in enhanced playing conditions to introducing new programming, we’ve been working hard to create a space that patrons can enjoy year-round.

Now, we’re excited to share our new simplified rate structure designed to make golf at GCGC more accessible and convenient for everyone! By transitioning away from multiple rate classifications, we’re making it easier than ever for area golfers to enjoy all that our course and clubhouse have to offer.

Our “Return to Golf” introductory offer has been a tremendous success over the last four years, but we know that having varying rates could sometimes be confusing. This new approach streamlines everything while maintaining the welcoming environment we strive for.

We’re excited to continue growing, improving, and sharing our passion for golf with the community with the below rate structure:

We look forward to continuing our partnership with Youth On Course to provide $5/round golf to youth enrolled in this national program.

Have your own cart? Please reach out to golfcourse@grinnell.edu for trail fees and cart storage rates.
