Golf in Leon

Leon is the Decatur County seat in far south Iowa, serving one of the state's most rural and least populated counties. The small-town county seat character and the Decatur County agricultural landscape create the south Iowa setting. Golf at the community course serves the Leon area in the south Iowa prairie 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.
