Orange City, Iowa
Landsmeer Golf Club sets the standard for public Orange City golf. Meaning "Lake of the Land," in the Dutch language, Landsmeer reflects the unique Dutch heritage of Orange City and the nature of the golf course. The prairie-style course sprawls over 160 acres of rolling Iowa hills, and features bent grass greens and bluegrass fairways. The holes are lined with tall native grasses, providing a rippling lake effect to players. Lakes and streams offer challenges on the front nine, while a links-style atmosphere is found on the back side. The course clubhouse and paved recreational fitness trail add to Landsmeer’s amenities. Landsmeer was named #1 Municipal Golf Course in the state of Iowa in 2009 by Golf Digest, and 18-Hole Course of the Year in 2008 by the Iowa Golf Association.
