Golf in Hawarden

Hawarden is a Sioux County community near the Iowa-South Dakota border in northwest Iowa. The Sioux County Dutch-American heritage and the Big Sioux River valley's position at the Iowa-South Dakota boundary create the northwest Iowa border community setting. Golf serves the Hawarden area's agricultural community. 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.
