Tulip City Golf Company, founded by the visionary Jameson Rosien, is a delightful addition to the local business landscape, reflecting both a passion for golf and a commitment to quality apparel.
Jameson Rosien’s business journey began in 2022, as he found himself on the hunt for golf apparel that combined quality, fit, and style.“This all stems from my love of golf. I am obsessed with golf. Not just playing it, but everything that comes with it. The game, the attire, pro shops, tees, clubs, the social aspect, you name it”, Jamson shared.
After months of research and a sprinkle of inspiration from his love of the game, he launched Tulip City Golf Co., officially going live online in May 2023. The brand's identity pays homage to the iconic tulips of Pella, Iowa—affectionately dubbed "Tulip City"—which is showcased in Tulip City Golf Co.'s, golf-centric logo.
Every piece of apparel at Tulip City Golf Co. is designed with meticulous attention to detail. From fabrics to colors and styles, each item is crafted to be approachable yet infused with a touch of flair. Jameson has already seen tremendous success, selling hundreds of polos, hats, and accessories, with customers praising the superior quality. Whether you're on the golf course, at the office, or out for a casual outing, Tulip City Golf gear apparel that not only looks good, but feels good too.
Jameson's journey into the world of golf apparel wasn’t without its challenges. With support from his wife, Alex Rosien, he transformed a dream into reality. "I was handling everything from setting up the website to design and shipping," he recalls. The Rosien family’s guest room soon transformed into a bustling office and storage space, as Tulip City Golf Co. quickly gained traction.
Drawing from a lifelong passion for golf and inspired by his mother’s background in fashion, Jameson’s vision took shape. "I need something in every color," he jokes, highlighting the universal appeal of golf attire. “Owning a golf brand was always a pipe dream, but I didn’t know where to start”, said Jameson. A late-night video about connecting with manufacturers opened the door to realizing his aspirations.
He continued, “I became intrigued. I researched more and once I unlocked the key to connecting with manufacturers it really opened the door for Tulip City Golf Co to come to fruition”, said Jameson.
Tulip City Golf Co. quickly gained traction, showcased by a successful pop-up shop during Tulip Time and partnerships with local pro shops like
Bos Landen Golf Course. Jameson is not only focused on direct sales; he’s also making a name for himself in custom orders, offering businesses the opportunity to brand their apparel with logos, much like industry giants Nike and Adidas. Tulip City Golf Co. is a brand that opens up endless possibilities for incorporating logos into apparel and accessories.
"I love hearing everyone's needs and being able to fill those orders," he explains, emphasizing his commitment to customer satisfaction and community connection. His approach emphasizes community engagement, ensuring each piece resonates with customers.
Jameson balances his entrepreneurial spirit with a full-time job at Pella Corporation, having previously worked at Wells Fargo for 15 years, which included a hefty commute. Taking a position locally has allowed him to pursue his golf passion on the side with Tulip City Golf Co. This balance has enriched his family life as he enjoys the extra time with his family. And, that’s not the only thing he values. He finds joy in seeing people wear his apparel, sharing their adventures with the hashtag
#tulipcityinthewild on social media, creating a sense of community among customers.
Looking ahead, Jameson envisions a focused approach to growth, making sure he always maintains the brand’s essence. He doesn’t plan to open a physical store but is excited to continue expanding his partnerships with other retailers. “I love the marketing aspect; it comes naturally to me,” he notes, underscoring his dedication to connecting with customers. His enthusiasm for the brand and the joy it brings to others is palpable, ensuring that Tulip City Golf Co. will continue to thrive.
