Iowa Golf Courses

Iowa is finally on the map when it comes to golf. This year Zach Johnson fought cold weather and a tough golf course to win The Masters Championship. Zach Johnson became the first golfer from Iowa to ever win The Masters. Iowa is a very flat state with its highest elevation being only 1,600 ft above sea level. The gentle plains of this state are very suitable for sustaining farms.

Golf in Iowa is played on very well-maintained golf courses. Due to the mild climate, many of the courses are able to use bent grass greens which produce some of the best putting services in the world. Although the terrain might be flat, you can expect to find lots of trees that will force the player to shape the ball around the golf course.

Glynns Creek Golf Course is traditionally ranked among the best golf courses in the state. This straightforward golf course is over 7,000 yards long. You will find that most of the holes run parallel to each other. With water only coming into play on two holes, the golfer will be able to attack this golf course. Other great courses in Iowa include Meadows Golf Club and Pleasant Valley Golf Club.
