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.
