Golf in Grinnell

Grinnell is a Poweshiek County city home of Grinnell College, one of the nation's most academically selective liberal arts colleges. The college's distinguished history (it was among the first to admit students regardless of race or gender) and the surrounding agricultural landscape of central Iowa create a distinctive college town. Golf serves both the academic community and the broader Grinnell area. 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.
