Now is your chance to be part of selecting “Iowa’s Favorite 18” – Over the next few weeks we will be asking you to identify your favorite hole(s) (1-18) one by one in Iowa on the IGA’s Twitter feed @IowaGolfAssn (click here to visit).  The idea being that we determine the favorite first hole at a course in Iowa, favorite second hole and so on.

Top choices for each hole will then be voted on in a poll to determine “Iowa’s Favorite 18”. While we will not have any restrictions on nominations, we may use our discretion to ‘share the wealth’ of courses around the state. Don’t hesitate – visit, nominate and vote!

As the 18 holes are chosen, we will compile the list and produce the stats below. It will be interesting to see what yardage and par “Iowa Favorite 18” plays to!
