Twin Lakes at Twin Lakes of Kahoka

Twin Lakes of Kahoka is a nine-hole course in northeastern Missouri, designed by William J. Spear. The course serves the small community of Kahoka, the county seat of Clark County, in a rural agricultural region near the Iowa border. Spear, a regional architect active primarily in the Midwest during the mid-to-late twentieth century, designed numerous courses for smaller communities throughout Missouri and neighboring states, typically working within modest budgets to create accessible golf facilities.

The course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Missouri, where the landscape transitions between the Mississippi River valley to the east and the interior prairies. Twin Lakes takes its name from water features that factor into the routing, though the specific configuration and role of these lakes in the design varies by hole. The layout provides straightforward golf suited to the recreational needs of a small-town membership and visiting golfers passing through the region.

As with many rural nine-hole courses in Missouri, Twin Lakes serves both as a recreational amenity and a social gathering place for the local community. The facility operates on a scale appropriate to Kahoka's population, offering golfers in this corner of the state a nearby option for regular play without the drive to larger regional centers.
