Eric Peyton, golf pro

Hello! I’m Eric.

I grew up playing golf in central Iowa and attended Urbandale High School, where I competed on the golf team all four years. After graduation, I enrolled in the Professional Golf Management degree program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. While there, I turned professional and started competing and teaching the game.

After graduation, I started working as an Assistant Golf Professional at golf courses all around the Midwest including Wakonda, Glen Oaks, Omaha Country Club, and Eagle Vail Golf Club. Most recently, I was a pro at Prairie Dunes Country Club, a top 25 course in the United States.

After leaving Prairie Dunes, I moved back to Des Moines and opened Eric Peyton Golf. I now teach indoor golf lessons at Broheim's Indoor Golf & Pub in Waukee and X Golf in West Des Moines, Iowa.

My writing has been featured in a variety of golf publications, including Golficity, The Left Rough, and ClubLife Magazine. My passion is for helping more people love the game of golf.

Finally, I’ve also launched a golf podcast called “the Looper podcast” where I interview people with interesting golf stories, perspectives, and experiences. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts.
