Six holes in northwest Iowa, the kind of layout that exists because a small town decided it wanted golf and made it happen
Six holes in northwest Iowa, the kind of layout that exists because a small town decided it wanted golf and made it happen. Emmetsburg sits on the shores of Five Island Lake, and this course reflects that sensible prairie mindset. No frills, no pretense, just enough golf to fill an evening after work. The 35-par routing means you can walk it twice and call it a full round, or play it once and be home before the sun sets. Semi-private status keeps it accessible without the crowds. Walking is straightforward here. Flat Iowa terrain does the work for you.
