Golf in Elkader

Elkader is the Clayton County seat on the Turkey River in northeast Iowa, a community with one of the most dramatic county seat settings in Iowa. The limestone bluffs above the Turkey River and the historic architecture — Elkader has unusual Moorish-styled architecture — create a distinctive northeast Iowa setting. Golf serves the Elkader community in the Turkey River valley. 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.
