The Preserve on Rathbun Lake - Honey Creek Resort

Hidden Gem in Southern Iowa

Sometimes as a golfer, when you look out over a piece of land, you think to yourself, "wow" that would make a neat golf hole. This facility has that feel about it.

The layout has a lot of character. The fairways are generous, but when you spray one you get what you deserve. The greens are firm and roll well with nice shaping, allowing for multiple pin options for tournament play.

Besides a great layout, what makes this course unique are the amenities. Whether it's lodging in the hotel, the many cabins on the property, boating, the indoor water park, or dining in the hotel restaurant, there are many options for your enjoyment.

Ideal spot for a guys trip, client appreciation "stay and play", or a family getaway.
