Golf in Atlantic

Atlantic is the Cass County seat in southwest Iowa, the commercial and governmental center for the surrounding agricultural community. The county seat's retail and professional services support the Cass County farming economy, and Atlantic's community character reflects the southwest Iowa agricultural tradition. Golf serves the Atlantic area's farming and professional population with recreational facilities in the Iowa prairie landscape. The surrounding landscape of corn and soybean fields, the grain elevators that mark the horizon, and the seasonal rhythms of planting and harvest create the Iowa agricultural context that gives the local golf community its distinctive Midwest character. Iowa's position at the heart of the American agricultural economy — one of the world's most productive farming regions — creates communities shaped by land values, commodity markets, and the natural seasons, and local golf serves as a year-round social institution in this distinctively Midwestern setting.
