Golf in Parkersburg

Parkersburg is a Butler County community in north-central Iowa that demonstrated remarkable resilience after a devastating EF5 tornado struck on May 25, 2008, killing eight people and destroying much of the town. The community rebuilt and revitalized, and the agricultural character of Butler County continues. Golf serves the Parkersburg area's farming community in the north Iowa 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.
