Golf in Britt

Britt is a Hancock County community in north Iowa known for hosting the National Hobo Convention since 1900, an annual gathering that celebrates the traveling workers who were part of American industrial history. The Hancock County agricultural landscape and the community's distinctive cultural heritage create the north Iowa setting. Golf serves the Britt area's community in the Iowa prairie. 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.
