I hadn't played this course for more than 20 years, but glad I found it again. It's not a long course, but there are shots you have to make in order to score. If you can shape the ball, you'll do well here. The course was in excellent condition, even in the fall with very little rainfall. The greens are some of the best around central Iowa. My only gripe was the other golfers with poor etiquette. I'll definitely be back.

Honey Creek is a beautiful course with a great layout. The front 9 is somewhat flat with some doglegs and bunkers. Back nine has dramatic elevation changes starting on hole 11 and a couple more severe doglegs. You can easily walk the front nine, but the back nine is for Olympic athletes only. There is a small practice range that is limited in distance. Course is normally in pretty good condition, but the bunkers are a bit lacking with very rough sand. The clubhouse is nothing to write home about. Overall, one of the hidden gems in the state of Iowa.

Played here a couple times for corporate outings. The facilities are very nice with a clubhouse with all the amenities. The course is not long at all unless you want to play from the tips. The course is pretty well kept, but not impeccable. You can walk the course if you are in pretty good shape... mostly flat, but some moderate hills. Entry into the grounds is through a security gate, so you have to have an invitation to get in. The Principal Charity Golf Classic (Champions Tour event) has been played here a few times.

Play this course a few times per year. The layout is fun and is definitely a shot-makers course. Picturesque holes all around. The greens were a bit beat-up this year and the bunkers need some maintenance. Don't even think about walking this course!
