“We are very excited to be heading to the Des Moines Golf and Country Club for the 2017 Solheim Cup,” said LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan. “The support that the Des Moines community has shown for golf events in the area has been tremendous. Based on the incredible welcome that we’ve already seen from the city, state, and local organizers, I have no doubt that the 2017 Solheim Cup is already on track to be one of the best event we’ve ever staged. From the very first time we met the Des Moines Golf and Country Club leaders, we realized that we were able to think big, rally the support of the community, and facilitate corporate and fan experiences that will take The Solheim Cup to a new level.”

Des Moines Golf and Country Club was the site of the 1999 U.S. Senior Open Championship which drew a record 252,800 spectators.

"When the Senior Open was here in 1999, we set a new attendance record. I am confident we will do so again with the 2017 Solheim Cup in Des Moines," said Des Moines Resident and Tournament Chair Suku Radia. "It's a great opportunity to show the world Iowa's excellent tradition of hospitality and our love of the game of golf."

Des Moines Golf and Country Club is the second Pete Dye-designed venue to host The Solheim Cup following the 2005 tournament at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Indiana.
