Golf in Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon is a Linn County community home of Cornell College, one of Iowa's most distinctive liberal arts colleges where students take one course at a time in an intensive block plan. The Cornell campus and the surrounding Linn County agricultural landscape create the eastern Iowa college town setting. Golf at Kernoustie serves the Mount Vernon community. Golf in this Iowa community provides the recreational and social infrastructure that sustains community life in the agricultural heartland, where the course serves farmers, small business owners, teachers, and county professionals in a setting shaped by the productive Iowa landscape. Iowa's agricultural heritage creates a community culture that values both hard work and seasonal recreation, and the local golf course reflects the state's commitment to providing quality outdoor facilities in communities of every size, from the smallest county seat to the largest suburban city.
