Golf in Bloomfield

Bloomfield is the Davis County seat in the hill country of southeast Iowa, one of Iowa's most rural county seats. Davis County is among the state's least populated counties, and the small-town county seat character creates an intimate community where golf serves as an important social and recreational institution. The south Iowa hill country landscape creates the setting. 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.
