Golf in Van Horne

Van Horne is a Benton County community in east-central Iowa. The Benton County agricultural landscape and the small community's farming heritage create the east-central Iowa setting. Golf serves the Van Horne area's agricultural community with recreational facilities in the Iowa prairie. 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. The community's recreational golf culture reflects the Iowa values that have shaped the state's communities: civic participation, accessible outdoor recreation, and the seasonal pleasures of Iowa's four-season climate, where the warm summers and the brilliant autumn days create a golf season of genuine quality.
