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.
