What a fantastic public course located just north of Des Moines metro. Tight fairways with…read morebeautiful backdrops and well maintained grounds. Only downside amount of bugs/nats and no water on course. Pro tip snag what cha smoking on way home for dinner/lunch

If you like poorly maintained greens, shoddy fairways and gimmick holes, then Honey Creek is just…read morethe course for you! The first few holes are fine, and that's about the nicest thing I can say about them. Once you reach your 2nd shot on the par-5 5th hole, it's a matter of luck on whether or not your ball will actually be playable due to the course conditions. The fairway (like many others) is a mess. The rest of the front 9 is quite unremarkable in every way. And now the real show starts on the back 9. Ohhh, look at the views! Better enjoy them because the golf experience is frankly the most overrated in all of central Iowa. Hole 10 = terrible green Hole 11 = great view, but the hole is actually pretty blah once you take a picture that no one actually wants to see Hole 12 = coolest part of this hole (tree in the middle of fairway) is now gone. The green is awful. Hole 13 = blind 2nd shot Hole 14 = gimmick hole and terrible fairway Hole 15 = gimmick hole and terrible fairway Hole 16 = Extremely meh Hole 17 = boring par 3 Hole 18 = Can we just be done already? In case the golf wasn't enough, the clubhouse staff and new rules make it even more unlikeable. What used to be a chill, BOONE!! County, IA course now wants to act like TCI in Alleman. A starter?? LOL. No show policy? What a joke! Things happen and you really think a person is purposely booking extra tee times at THIS course? Maybe the clubhouse could ask a few questions before charging someone's card. All in all, I will never spend money at Honey Creek again when there are so many other quality courses in Central Iowa. Courses where there aren't gimmick hole after gimmick hole. Courses where they care about actually maintaining the fairways and greens. Courses where the staff is kind and not trying to act like a ritzy country club. Spend your money elsewhere!
