Golf in Fairbank

Fairbank is a Buchanan County community on the Wapsipinicon River in northeast Iowa. The Wapsipinicon River valley and the Buchanan County agricultural landscape create the northeast Iowa community setting. Golf serves the Fairbank area's agricultural community in the Iowa river valley landscape. 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. 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.
