I play a fair amount of golf. Some golfers play at the same public or private course every week whereas I play 30 different courses per year and about 60 rounds in a 8 month golf season. I see many great courses, a couple bad courses and a lot of average courses! This course is a nice links style course. This course is very susceptible to wind. I asked the cart boy about the windy conditions and he stated "it's always windy here." Not a major issue though. As a better recreational golfer I felt Honey Brook had a challenging layout and was very forgiving. Course conditions were very good and above average to excellent. Because of its wide fairways and big greens it's a course you can score on and it's a course that probably won't send you home disgruntled after a bad round. BUT the rough is thick and you will lose your golf ball if you don't pay proper attention. My biggest hangup with this course and many many courses throughout the United States is the price for green fees and cart! Too much! It's a major factor in the shrinking golf industry along with the limited time we all have to play this great game. The Staff was very friendly and willing to give great deals on merchandise! The club house has a great restaurant with very good food and reasonable beer prices. It also has a great outdoor area where they hold events in the evenings. I recommend this course for all levels of golfer and would play again.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
