Called to book a time for my fiance for his birthday. Was able to connect with the owner quickly. The space was very clean, as well as the restroom, snacks and drinks are in the back, and the system was very simple to understand! He had a great time and we will definitely be back!!

We had an awesome time! This simulator is very accurate and even allows you to putt. This place is awesome for a quick practice session on a rainy day or a casual round with the buddies. Scheduling is quick and easy and not having to deal with any check-in process is genius. They have many different modes and golf courses to choose from. The atmosphere is always amazing and the experience keeps us coming back. Moral of the story, especially with the membership, this place makes going to play at an actual golf course an afterthought

Top of the line simulator set up — software/hardware; plenty of room for swinging/sitting. Brand new facility - everything is in fantastic condition. I personally wouldn’t even consider going to any other sim in the DSM area (even if I was on the east side).

Back Nine in Waukee positions itself more on the performance side of the indoor golf spectrum. The facility is clean, modern, and built with improvement in mind. The simulator bays are private enough to allow focused practice while still maintaining an open, professional feel. It’s the type of environment where players can either dial in yardages seriously or play full courses with friends in a controlled, comfortable setting. One noticeable advantage is the overall polish of the space. Everything from the technology setup to the lounge areas feels intentionally designed. It does not lean heavily into the bar-first atmosphere — instead, it prioritizes golf performance. For players in the Des Moines metro who want year-round reps in a more focused setting, Back Nine provides a reliable, structured indoor option. Best For: Serious practice sessions, small group play Strength: Clean facility + performance-focused environment
