Join us for a fun morning on the links at Jester Park Golf Course, playing to advance conservation in Central Iowa and beyond!

Our well-paced and casually competitive outing brings together outdoor enthusiasts from across industries. Enjoy coffee before our shotgun start, hosted drinks on the course, a boxed lunch, and local craft beer tasting. Golf for prizes for the best team scores and longest drive, longest putt, and closest to pin for men's and women's divisions. Be ready for yardsticks, mulligans, and a few fun surprises on the course.

All proceeds from this event go directly to advancing Iowa conservation through improving water quality, expanding outdoor recreation, and forging innovative partnerships to solve environmental challenges in our state.
