Golf in Spragueville

Spragueville is a Jackson County community in east Iowa near the Mississippi River. The Jackson County agricultural landscape and the proximity to the Mississippi River create the east Iowa rural community setting.

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.
