Stone Creek Golf Club

Designed by five-time PGA Tour tournament winner D.A. Weibring, Stone Creek's golf course features nine holes of immaculate greenery that earned it the title of Iowa Golf Association's 2011 9-Hole Course of the Year and a spot on Golf Digest's 2010 list of The 25 Best Nine-Hole Courses in America. The course's fairways arch over rolling, parkland terrain as they filter toward greens that unnerve putting strokes with slick surfaces, subtle slopes, and shape-shifting holes. A coterie of 18 bunkers hugs the course's fairways and green fringes, and water hazards appear on four holes. A two-floor clubhouse awaits at the end of the emerald circuit, where clubbers can drink in light refreshments and views of the course.
