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.
