The Iowa Golf Association is the governing body for golf in the state of Iowa and exists as a non-profit organization that works to preserve, protect and promote the best interests and spirit of the game. As “caretakers” of the game we work to preserve the rich history of golf in our state and to provide numerous services that benefit all that play the game in Iowa. Primary activities include administration of the USGA Handicap and Course Rating Systems, oversight of the Rules of Golf and Amateur Status, educational programs for members and club employees and the conduct of statewide amateur championships. The IGA also works to promote the sharing of information through publications and our website, and to encourage a spirit of harmony and cooperation among golf clubs and other allied associations.
