The Preserve on Rathbun Lake is a very nice and beautiful 18-hole championship golf course, consistently ranked among the top five public courses in the state. The 7000-yard course meanders through scenic prairie and oak savannas right next to Honey Creek Resort. It is suited for golfers of every skill level, offering a challenging yet rewarding layout with holes that reward good shots and greens in good shape. An on-site practice facility and excellent driving range are available. The course is Audubon-certified and features a fully stocked Golf Shop with lite food and beverage service. The staff is very polite, providing a great time, though some note the golf carts no longer have GPS.
Very peaceful and relaxing energy. Very well maintained compared to last year. New management is definitely quite a bit more on too of their game

This course was great! You barely see any houses the entire round, holes are challenging yet reward good shots, greens were in good shape. This is the best course I've ever played in Southern IA, I will definitely be back!

I enjoy getting the chance to play this course when in the area.
