Golf in Marion

Marion is a Linn County city adjacent to Cedar Rapids, one of the most consistently growing Iowa communities. The Cedar Rapids metropolitan area's expansion and Marion's strong school system and community character create the eastern Iowa suburban setting. Multiple golf courses serve the Marion and greater Cedar Rapids area in the Linn County 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.
