Iowa Golf House fundraising is largely complete and construction will launch this spring, Chat Pitts, CEO of the Iowa Golf Association (IGA), tells Axios.
Details: The $5 million project for a junior golf center and museum will also become the new permanent headquarters for the association and its foundation.
- It'll include meeting space for golf groups, a driving simulator as well as indoor and outdoor putting greens.
Of note: The IGA announced the plans last year following donations of land and money from Michael Coppola, owner of the Echo Valley Country Club.
- The project is next to the club's Creek Course, roughly two miles south of the DSM International Airport.
Driving the news: Des Moines City Council this week approved the final subdivision plat for the nearly three-acre property.
- The IGA anticipates the project will be completed by next spring, Pitts says.
