Golf in Le Claire

Le Claire is a Scott County community on the Mississippi River north of Davenport, the birthplace of William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody. The Mississippi River setting, the antique district that has made Le Claire a tourist destination, and the Quad Cities proximity create the eastern Iowa river community context. Golf serves the Le Claire area's community in the Mississippi valley landscape. 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.
