Sanborn Golf & Country Club
Located on the southwest edge of town, the city-owned facility offers a nine-hole golf course that has been a favorite relaxation spot for area golf enthusiasts for 31 years.
The golf course is open according to weather conditions and provides alternate tee boxes that give golfers nine different starting points the second time around. The fairways and challenging greens always are plush in even the driest weather conditions thanks to continuous irrigation from the treated water of the nearby waste water plant.
Putting greens and a practice sand trap also are available. The clubhouse is from April - October for lunch and supper and features a lounge, a special party room available for reservations, a pro shop with retail golf equipment and a community center in the basement. For information call (712) 930-5600.
