Lake Panorama National Golf Course:
Lake Panorama National Golf Course is the main attraction at the Resort and offers one of the best-conditioned courses in the state of Iowa. In 2008, a double row irrigation system was installed making even better course conditions for players of all skill levels. Golf Digest gives the magnificent golf course a 4-Star Rating on it’s Places to Play in America. The golf course is truly a “must play” course in Iowa.
Lake Panorama National Golf Course is now the host of the Iowa Open Golf Championship. Just recently, the Iowa Section PGA and Brokers International Ltd. signed a five year deal to host the Iowa Open at Lake Panorama. Brokers International Ltd. will be the title sponsor of the championship from 2010 to 2014.
The Brokers International Ltd. Iowa Open will be played August 19 – 22, 2010. The Iowa Section PGA, Brokers International Ltd. and Lake Panorama National Resort are excited to bring the championship back to Lake Panorama National Golf Course.
Winter Course Conditions:
The golf course will remain open for place as long as weather and course turf conditions permit.
In our annual effort to protect our turf grass during the winter months and ensure course conditions are optimal for next spring, the following maintenance has been completed:
November 24 Heavy Top Dressing will be applied on all greens. The top dressing will remain on the greens over the winter for turf protection. The top dressing will help protect the blades of grass by not exposing the crown of the plant. Even through the course is open, the top dressing is required for our greens and will hopefully help and limit the damage to the plant’s crown caused by foot traffic.
Starting Tuesday, November 24, play will be CART PATH ONLY. All golf carts must remain on the cart paths during your round. This also includes remaining on the paths to and from the golf course. The irrigation system has been shut down for the winter and therefore, it is very important that golf cart traffic remain off the turf. Remember: Golf cart tracks made in November will still be visible in the spring.
We hope the weather provides more days of golf and we ask that everyone help protect our turf during the upcoming winter months.
Volunteer Help for the Brokers International Ltd. Iowa Open:
The 2010 Brokers International Ltd. Iowa Open will be held at LPN on August 19-22, 2010. Leroy Oxley, Tournament Chairman, is now signing up volunteers for the championship.
There will be many volunteer opportunities and we would like to get those interested signed up as soon as possible so committees can be formed. We expect we will need volunteers for housing, hospitality, scoring, marshals, spotters, player shuttles, driving range attendants, registrations/greeters, standard bearers and much more.
