Golf in Oelwein

Oelwein is a Fayette County community in northeast Iowa with a distinctive railroad heritage as a Chicago Great Western Railway division point. The railroad's decline transformed Oelwein from a railroad city into an agricultural service community, and the Fayette County landscape creates the northeast Iowa setting. Golf serves the Oelwein area's community. 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. 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.
