Iowa Golf Resorts
Iowa is more than just corn fields. There are dozens of really strong golf courses, a handful of them at resorts worthy of your next golf vacation. Casinos anchor the state’s two premier properties: the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort and the Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort. There’s great variety elsewhere among a state park (the Honey Creek Resort State Park), conference center resorts (Arrowwood and Lake Panorama), a premier public facility with private home rentals (Spirit Hollow) and even a Holiday Inn Express (in Pella).
