I was born and ­raised in Pella, IA. My interests have always included participating in sports, socializing with friends and spending time outdoors. Upon graduating from high school I pursued a college degree that allowed me to incorporate the things I like into a career. Those interests lead me to studying horticulture with an emphasis in golf course management at Iowa State University.

In 2002 I graduated from Iowa State and accepted an assistant golf course superintendent position at Eaglewood Resort in the Chicago suburbs. Shortly after beginning my career, I married my wife Chassity, who enrolled in graduate school at Loyola University. We spent three years in Chicago, my final year working as the assistant golf course superintendent at The Glen Club in the north shore suburb of Glenview, IL. In 2006 an opportunity opened in our home state as an assistant superintendent at Des Moines Golf and Country Club. After two years in Des Moines I accepted my current position as golf course superintendent at Prairie Links Golf and Events Center in Waverly.

During my eight years in Waverly I have worked hard to implement the practices I learned as an apprentice into the golf course maintenance at Prairie Links. Throughout my career I have been committed to ongoing education offered by my local and national associations. I am an active member of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and the Iowa Superintendents Association. I have also been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many of our club members and employees. Our family has settled into the community and our children are involved in many activities. Chassity and I have four children: Marrah (12), Maggie and Mason (7) and Estella (5).

An Ida Grove native, Morgan Pierce was a class of 2012 Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove High School graduate and received her degree from Hawkeye Community College in Country Club Management in December of 2016.

During college, Morgan spent time working for Beaver Hills Country Club and accepted an internship for Beaver Hills in event management during the Summer of 2016.

In February of 2017, Morgan was married to Jordan Pierce (Odebolt native). Jordan and Morgan recently completed construction of a new home and will be calling Cedar Falls home, where they intend to start a family.

Morgan’s interest in entrepreneurialism and her passions for event management and golf course management lead her to Prairie Links. Timing and opportunity presented itself for Morgan allowing her to accept the opportunity to join Prairie Links in the Winter of 2017.

Morgan excelled in her initial role as Event Manager and now holds the title of General Manager. She enjoys working closely with the leadership team strategizing and organizing short and long-term goals of Prairie Links and implementing them with her teams.

Morgan has a strong desire and drive to make Prairie Links an accepting and welcoming club to all in Waverly and the greater Cedar Valley.

Morgan has continued her education in event management through various industry sponsored events, and looks to crack the code of taking all the stress away from a bride on their very special day. Which she believes she is getting very close.
