Golf in Solon

Solon is a Johnson County community in the Iowa City suburban area. The Lake MacBride State Park's recreational amenities and the Johnson County agricultural and suburban landscape create the eastern Iowa setting. Golf serves the Solon area and the greater Iowa City community in the lake and farmland landscape. 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. 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.
