Golf in Emmetsburg

Emmetsburg is the Palo Alto County seat in north Iowa, surrounded by Five Island Lake — a series of connected lakes that create the most distinctive recreational setting in the county seat area. The Irish heritage of the community — Emmetsburg was named for Irish patriot Robert Emmet — and the Five Island Lake recreational amenities create the north Iowa setting. Golf serves the Emmetsburg community. Iowa's agricultural heritage creates a community culture that values both hard work and seasonal recreation, and the local golf course reflects the state's commitment to providing quality outdoor facilities in communities of every size, from the smallest county seat to the largest suburban city.
