PINE CREEK GOLF CLUB

The prairie winds that sweep across north-central Iowa create a legitimate test at this public track, where elevated tees and strategic bunkering demand thoughtful club selection on nearly every approach. The back nine's closing stretch features a particularly memorable par-4 that plays significantly longer into the prevailing wind, separating weekend hackers from players who understand course management. You'll find honest conditioning and green complexes that reward accurate iron play without the pretense of many resort courses.
