Reviews of Amana Colonies Golf Club (Golf)

Amos Hobbs

Beautiful course. Staff was very friendly. Course is easy to navigate and was kept up well. Saw plenty of wildlife while out. Only complaint I had was people seemed to be in a hurry. We were almost an hour faster than the suggested time of play and had people hurrying us along the whole time and a few close calls with some shots from the trailing groups.

DEFINATELY a 'must play' if you're a golfer in the Amana-area! Lots of elevation-changes, playable bunkers, and fast greens (even in April). If I was a resident instead of a visitor, THIS would be my 'home course'

Jonathan Olson

Great course, beautiful weather!

Brian Martin

Nice

Corey Bethune

Wonderful course! Challenging, but very rewarding.

John Vieth

Nice course, lots of hills if you like that challenge in your game. Has all the standard amenities. Men's bathroom in the clubhouse is odd as the sink is right by the door.

Jeremy Goeke

beautiful course

Destry Schildmeier

A very nice gold course. The scenery was very nice and the course was challenging.

Matthew schmitt

Best looking golf club in the area by long margin. Challenging but extremely fun. You owe it to yourself to make the drive out.

Benjamin Potter

This is a large sprawling course tucked away in the bucolic rolling hills of the Amana Colonies. Each hole is as beautiful as it is challenging. There are plenty of hazards including elevation changes that create many blind shots but there are ways to avoid these with skill. Each round feels like an adventure and even if you have a bad round you are left with a feeling of serenity and satisfaction. Despite the leaves, the fall is by far the best time to play this course!

Gem! Favorite course in Iowa.

I've played golf a lot of places and I am ecstatic to say that this is my new favorite course - ironically in the small hills outside of Amana, IA. Miles from ordinary, this course will literally take your breath away. It's located on the top of a hill, in the middle of a forest - definitely not what you'd expect! Rated 72.9 w/ a slope of 142 @ 6800+ yards from the tips, it's a great players course and requires that you come to play. The course had tight fairways that were literally cut straight out of the forest. The holes each had character and really made you think about how you were going to play each shot. A lot more strategy went into playing than anywhere I've played in a long time. You really choose to lay up or go for it with true risk/reward on a majority of the holes. The rough was impeccably kept and generally lead into the underbrush that consumed many a ball, but lead to the discovery of many more! The greens were simply put - magnificent. Soft enough to hold approach shots, but firm enough to make putting a challenge. The read true and roll is amazing. Props to the groundskeeper who really knows what he or she is doing. On three of the holes we saw deer grazing or walking by and as the course is in the middle of the forest, the serenity was amazing. This is the sort of place that will be full and you'll see 6 people all day as everything is very well spread out. The serenity was only topped by the picturesque holes and views from many of them. The 17th and 18th have views of the clubhouse over a lake and made for one of the most memorable walks I've taken in along while! Riding is a must as the hills on the course (I know, weird it's in Iowa) would quickly take their toll. The carts are gas powered and come with GPS that gives front, middle and back distances. When you purchase food and beverage inside, you can grab a cooler and it's nice to have on the way! Water is available on the course roughly every 3-4 holes. If you love golf, play this course, if you like golf, play this course, if you're interested in golf, play this course! Simply put, this is my new favorite course and I guarantee that if you appreciate a good walk spoiled, you'll love this place like I do!

Nice track

James Lhomme

Very nice course, greens could be more consistent

LAWRENCE HANSEN

Really nice course and very challenging.

Michael Fitzgerald

Don't let the yardage fool you into thinking it's an easy course. The elevation changes, some tight fairways, and the fast greens make this a challenging test of golf.

Lesley-Stephan Gleason

Course was in great condition. Challenging layout. Great scenery! Clubhouse amenities are a little sparse.

Adam Sadler

Challenging and beautiful course!

MD K

Gorgeous course, first time there was this past weekend but unfortunately started off very foggy. With it being able to see 100yrds was no way to play the first 5 holes. I could not tell u what the first 5 holes looked like but look forward to trying again. Course was in great shape, we golfed after heavy rains night before and wet conditions. Sand traps weren't holding up and some areas very soggy. I recommend the website course details sheet for yardages.

Elaina Kempin

Beautiful course and hospitable staff!

Logan Barnes

Nice views and a great place to play golf. I highly recommend playing here.

Jake Gomez

Beautiful course, helpful staff.

Nick Juskewycz

Gorgeous course through the woods. A lot of dogleg left holes and several uphill second shots to the greens. Very tight track. It's a little bit of a journey to get there, but it's worth it. Cool practice green where they have normal-sized holes and smaller ones to help with accuracy.

Jo Slay

Best Place ever!!

Todd Sheflin

Love this course, THE best in Iowa City area

Kathleen Schmid

Great course, great scenery!!!!!

Angela Ramos

Rooms are fabulous! Golf course is relaxing.

Tony Farrell

Great woods course, deer and quiet holes

Greg Meng

Very nice course with Bentgrass fairways & Tee boxes, carved out of beautiful Iowa timbers. But you have to hit the ball straight; there's little forgiveness with stray shots. Bring plenty of balls if you're not close to a scratch golfer.

Steve Karbacka

Peaceful, serene course.

Michael Kempf

I enjoyed the solitude of each hole. The layout is spectacular and the greens were beautiful and true. I will definitely come back to this gem

Michael Spurlin

I haven't played there in a number of years so it was new all over again. Really enjoyed the day and the course was in very good shape for the amount of rain. Go play, you will have a great time.

Scott Coe

Loved the course. Very challenging holes and difficult greens. I like how well kept the course is. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back!!

Scott Behrens

Amana is one of the best courses in the country. Green fees are super reasonable and golf is challenging but certainly enjoyable. Worth the trip for all golf enthusiasts.

Dave Ricklefs

Fantastic place to be and even better place to play golf!! I have played all over the place from Arizona to Alabama, and this course takes the cake as the best!!!!

Afrika Maulii

Relaxing vacation spot and rooms are NICE!

Wade Miller

Golfed here for the first time. Played 45 holes and came back for more the following day. The course was in great shape. The greens were much better than others we played in the area. Very hilly and challenging but fair. Prices were reasonable for golf, food and drinks. We will definitely be back.

Clem Messerli

Challenging course under relatively new management. Greens this summer were in best shape I can remember. If you have not played or if it had been a while, consider a round next summer.

Todd Shedeck

Just a casual golfer, do not a lot of experience to compare, but to me this is a very nice course. Kept up well, proper dress required, and a nice mixture of difficulty.
