Golf in Nevada

Nevada is the Story County seat in central Iowa, adjacent to Ames and influenced by the Iowa State University community. The Story County agricultural landscape and the county seat character create the central Iowa setting. Golf serves the Nevada area's farming and professional community in the Iowa 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.
