Golf in Lake Park

Lake Park is a Dickinson County community in the Iowa Great Lakes resort region, near Spirit Lake and Okoboji. The lakes district's summer resort economy and the year-round agricultural community create the northwest Iowa setting. Golf serves the Lake Park area's residents and resort visitors in the Iowa Great Lakes landscape. 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.
