About Woodland Hills Golf Course
Woodland Hills Golf Course, on the north side of Des Moines, offers an 18-hole regulation course with wide, forgiving fairways and well-kept greens, along with a separate executive 9 whose twists and turns call for a range of clubs.
Multiple tee box lengths across the mix of holes make both courses playable for golfers of varying ages and abilities, and the two layouts allow for either a quick nine or a longer afternoon round.
