All numbers are estimates. Green fees use each course's peak published rate (or price band where fees aren't published). Lodging uses a researched median nightly rate for this market scaled to your tier selection, split across 2-to-a-room. Food (~$100/day) and transit (~$50/day, rental car split) are rough per-person averages — your destination and group size will move the real number in either direction. Flights depend on your home airport and aren't included. Fly into DSM — Des Moines.
