Golf in Union

Union is a Hardin County community in north-central Iowa with recreational facilities in South Hardin Recreation Area. The Hardin County agricultural landscape and the recreation area's natural amenities create the north Iowa setting. Golf serves the Union area's community in the Iowa 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.
