A New Way to Play Is Now in Full Swing at the Grinnell College Golf Course
A new indoor Golf Lounge is now open at the Grinnell College Golf Course, offering year-round opportunities for play, practice, and connection.
Housed in the former “Fireplace Room,” the reimagined space features expanded putting areas and two state-of-the-art golf simulator hitting bays—creating a welcoming, modern environment for golfers of all experience levels.
Indoor golf continues to grow in popularity, offering a welcoming entry point for new players and a flexible, fun way for seasoned golfers to sharpen their skills. The Golf Lounge strengthens the connection between off-course and on-course play while activating the clubhouse during the off-season.
With more than 9,000 rounds played annually during the regular season, the addition of the Golf Lounge expands year-round programming, increases access, and creates new ways for the community to gather around the game.
GCGC extends its gratitude to the former club members and the GCGC Stewardship Committee for their vision, leadership, and commitment in bringing this project to life.
