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.
