Show Notes
This week’s Fight for Iowa spotlights a transformation decades in the making. When the sun rises on November 3, construction crews will break ground on a full-scale renovation of the University of Iowa’s historic Finkbine Golf Course — a 200-acre property that’s been home to Hawkeye golf since the 1950s. The redesign aims to create one of the Big Ten’s and Midwest’s premier public golf experiences, complementing the new Nagle Family Clubhouse and state-of-the-art practice facilities.
Host Gary Dolphin visits with Finkbine General Manager Josh Clay, who shares his excitement for the project’s future and how it honors the course’s rich tradition — from hosting the PGA’s Amana VIP events to welcoming the Ben Hogan Tour’s Hawkeye Open and multiple Big Ten Championships. Thanks to a major lead gift from Fritz and Mary Lee Nagle Duda, Finkbine is poised to reopen in 2027 as a world-class golf destination for Hawkeyes and the State of Iowa.
