Glen Oaks Country Club, located between Grand Avenue and Mills Civic Parkway, is a gated and golf-centered West Des Moines neighborhood with a private fairway landscape and curving, cul-de-sac streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Glen Oaks clubhouse and entry drive, where manicured greens, tennis courts, and a quiet, members-club rhythm set the tone. Large-lot homes lean toward brick and stone traditional styles with expansive setbacks and mature trees. Water features and rolling terrain shape sightlines and daily routes. Nearby retail and dining cluster along Mills Civic Parkway, while green space threads through the area via local trails.
