Nate Dunn’s golf career is a tale of quality, not quantity.

He doesn’t play in as many Iowa Golf Association-sponsored events as many others, but he’s still found the kind of success that has earned him a spot in the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.

“When he does play, you know he’s going to be on the leaderboard,” Iowa Golf Hall of Famer Gene Elliott said. “He raises his game when it counts.”

Dunn is one of 11 players to win the prestigious Iowa Amateur at least three times. He also won an Iowa Amateur Match-Play crown, an Iowa Junior Amateur and was the IGA Player of the Year in 2007.

“Those tournaments are how you gauge yourself against the best,” Elliott said. “Nate’s very deserving of the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame.”

Dunn joined Jon Brown and Jerry Smith as the only players to win an Iowa Amateur and Iowa Match-Play Championship in the same season (2014). He also won the Iowa Amateur in 2004 and 2016.

He’s qualified for eight United States Golf Association championships, including three U.S. Amateurs (2002, 2007, 2011). He qualified for match play at the 2005 U.S. Mid-Amateur, reaching the round of 32.

He teamed up with Justin Schulte to win the 2019 IGA Four-Ball at Bos Landen. Dunn also won the Lake Creek Amateur in 1997, the Riverboat Days Amateur in 2007 and 2019 and has captured the Amateur Division of the Cedar Rapids Open multiple times.
