Golf in Keota

Keota is a Keokuk County community in southeast Iowa. The Keokuk County agricultural landscape and the small community's farming heritage create the southeast Iowa setting. Golf serves the Keota area's agricultural community with recreational facilities in the Iowa prairie. The surrounding landscape of corn and soybean fields, the grain elevators that mark the horizon, and the seasonal rhythms of planting and harvest create the Iowa agricultural context that gives the local golf community its distinctive Midwest character. 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.
