Golf in Avoca

Avoca is a Pottawattamie County community in southwest Iowa between Council Bluffs and Atlantic. The Pottawattamie County agricultural landscape and the Interstate 80 corridor create the southwest Iowa setting. Golf serves the Avoca area's agricultural community in the Iowa prairie landscape of southwest Iowa's corn and soybean farming region. 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.
