THE
FAB
FOUR
n
FROM
MINNESOTA
ON
SOUTH
THROUGH
IOWA,
MISSOURI
AND
TENNESSEE,
THESE
PRIVATE
CLUBS
ARE
LEGENDARY
BY joel

A
t
first
glance
of
a
map,
the
states
of
Iowa,
Minnesota,
Missouri
and
Tennessee
don't
seem
to
be
the
most
cohesive
group.
Two
are
smack
dab
in
the
heart
of
the
American
Midwest,
one
is
in
the
upper
Midwest,
another
in
the
South.
But
they
are
connected
not
only
by
road
–
three
interstates
will
get
you
from
one
to
the
other
in
about
11
hours
–
but
also
in
that
each
offers
one
of
the
finest
private
club
experi-
ences
in
the
country.
Beginning
in
the
far
north
of
Min-
nesota,
there's
Somerby
Golf
Club,
a
lush
oasis
that
looks
as
natural
as
the
wetlands
adjoining
it.
Drop
down
to
Iowa
and
you
find
Echo
Valley
Country
Club,
a
27-hole
fa-
cility
a
few
minutes
from
downtown
Des
Moines.
Family
owned
for
more
than
50
years,
the
combination
of
in-
credible
golf
and
an
active
membership
makes
it
a
club
that
truly
has
stood
the
test
of
time.
Head
southeast
into
Missouri
and
you'll
come
across
Dalhousie
Golf
Club,
a
stunning
beauty
of
a
course
set
on
900
acres
next
to
the
Mississippi
River.
Here,
Nicklaus
Design
had
a
blank
canvas
to
work
upon
and
the
re-
sults
were
tremendous.
Finally,
cross
the
river
and
you'll
find
Vanderbilt
Legends
Club
in
middle
Ten-
nessee,
which
offers
two
18-hole
golf
courses
designed
by
Tom
Kite
and
Bob
Cupp,
as
well
as
one
of
the
most
com-
prehensive
practice
areas
in
the
country.

take
