All Iowa courses →

The 50 oldest golf courses in Iowa by recorded founding year, from Fairfield Golf and Country Club in Fairfield in 1892 to 1927. They are drawn from the 302 Iowa courses with a recorded founding year — 83% of the 364 listed here; the median founding year across that group is 1964. The rest carry no recorded year, so an older course may not appear on this list.
