Golf in Menlo

Menlo is a Guthrie County community in west-central Iowa. The Guthrie County agricultural landscape and the small community's rural farming character create the west-central Iowa setting. Golf serves the Menlo area's agricultural community in the Iowa prairie. 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.
