Golf in Malden

Malden is the Dunklin County commercial hub in the Missouri Bootheel, a community whose Delta agricultural economy of cotton and rice production in the flat alluvial landscape reflects the Deep South character of Missouri's southernmost communities. Malden Air Force Base's World War II training history gives the community a military heritage, and the surrounding Dunklin County farmland creates the agricultural context for a Bootheel community maintaining its economic and recreational institutions. The broader Missouri community's investment in outdoor recreation reflects a quality-of-life commitment that sustains golf courses alongside parks, trails, and civic institutions that define what makes a Missouri community worth living in.
