Golf in Charles City

Charles City is the Floyd County seat on the Cedar River in north Iowa, a city shaped by the farm machinery heritage of the Hart-Parr Company — the inventor of the gasoline tractor — and the devastating floods that periodically affect the Cedar River communities. The county seat's agricultural and manufacturing heritage and the river valley's character create the north Iowa setting. The community's recreational golf culture reflects the Iowa values that have shaped the state's communities: civic participation, accessible outdoor recreation, and the seasonal pleasures of Iowa's four-season climate, where the warm summers and the brilliant autumn days create a golf season of genuine quality.
