Ankeny sits just north of Des Moines in the heart of Iowa's Polk County, and it's a community that has grown rapidly over the past two decades into one of the state's most active suburban corridors. Golf here means navigating the rolling glacial terrain of central Iowa — open skies, wide fairways, and a wind that can quietly add strokes before you realize it's a factor. The Des Moines metro area supports a healthy, unpretentious golf culture where value and playability tend to matter more than exclusivity.
Talons Golf is a full 18-hole, par-72 layout that reads as a genuine daily-fee option serving the north metro and the fast-growing Ankeny community. Courses in this part of Iowa typically work with the natural contours of the land — gentle elevation changes, water hazards drawn from drainage and ponds, and turf conditions that swing with the seasons, peaking in the warm months and testing patience during the windy spring shoulder season.
For Des Moines-area golfers, Ankeny's accessible location and proximity to a strong local golf community make Talons a reasonable choice when you want a full round without the formality of a private club or the drive of a destination course.
