Golf in Glenwood

Glenwood is the Mills County seat in southwest Iowa, positioned on the bluffs above the Missouri River valley.

Golf serves the Glenwood area's community in the bluffs landscape. 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. Golf in this Iowa community provides the recreational and social infrastructure that sustains community life in the agricultural heartland, where the course serves farmers, small business owners, teachers, and county professionals in a setting shaped by the productive Iowa landscape.
