Golf in Ottumwa

Ottumwa is the Wapello County seat in south-central Iowa, a river city on the Iowa River known as the Agri-Business Capital of the Nation and the home of the John Morrell meatpacking operation. The city's industrial and agricultural processing heritage and the Iowa River valley create the south-central Iowa city setting. Golf serves the Ottumwa community in the Iowa river landscape. 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.
