Prairie Woods Golf Course
About
Prairie Woods Golf Course tumbles across some of Wisconsin's most rolling terrain. On almost any point on the course, whether you're standing on the tees, the fairways, or the greens, the undulating landscape will put your skills of perception to the test. The golf course offers plenty of variety with a unique design on each hole. The rolling hills determined the strategic placement of the bunkers and there are water hazards coming into play on several holes. It's a layout that will keep you on your toes and reward a well thought-out shot, but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers. The golf course is just over 6,000 yards from the back tees but the changes in elevation can make it feel longer. Besides being one of the most unique rounds in the area, Prairie Woods G.C. is also one of the most affordable.

Reviews
This course is fun to play!
This course is fun to play. I was a member for 2 years (changed to a course closer to home.. over 1 hour drive). I always enjoyed playing PW and the staff was always great. While not long, this course demands thought. I would definitely recommend PW.
Front 9
Got the last tee time of the day so just got to play the front 9. Very fun holes and can’t wait to get back to play a full round of golf!
Fair
#6 Blue tee box had over hanging tree branch impeding entire swing. Almost Snapped driver shaft on follow through, was not happy. I’d say 80% of course needs to be re-evaluated .
Pleasant surprise
Had never heard of this course before seeing it yesterday on golf now. Two of us played 18 holes in 3 and a half hours. Lots of dog legs calling for accurate tee shots. Very enjoyable round. Will definitely play again.
Great course
Very nice course with professional and friendly staff. Worked us in after another course cancelled our T-Time for our state to state golf trip with my son's.
Foot Golf
Our threesome played this course today. As we rounded the turn an eight some playing foot golf cut in front of us. We had to wait for them on the next six holes. They used alternate tees for some holes but on others they teed off close to the center of they fairway. They manager of the course advised us we just had to deal with it. The course is just trying to maximize income at the sake of loyal golfers. They have a good deal of space as you enter the course that could be used for a place for foot golf and frisbee golf. Hint to management, have a drink cart come out and you'll make the money needed to stay a golf course.
great course
Always enjoy playing this course, although they should have senior rates
Great Couse
Great course. Good for all ages. Challenges but not to difficult.
great layout, short but tight
wish it was closer so I could play it weekly. Fun course to play from the blue, white and gold tees.
Love this course
Conditions were excellent with well maintained greens, fairways, roughs, equipment and facilities. White tees very suitable for seniors and made for duffers with natural slice. Price was excellent thru GolfNow. Staff provided good service and were exceptionally gracious in the clubhouse. Those in kitchen even bid us farewell from their location as we were leaving. Food and drinks very good at fair price. Definitely recommend to others and planning to return before the season ends.
tight but fair
fun course for even the best golfers. must keep the ball in play off the tee. holes are not long, but don't let that fool you!
Great course
In most cases your ball is still playable even if you miss the fairway slightly. Keeps play moving along. Played in three and one half hours, even with a five-some ahead of us.
Challenging Course
There is a little bit of everything at this course (i.e. wide open fairways, tight fairways, doglegs, water & sand hazards, etc.). This course is a nice all around course. Too bad it's not closer to town or I'm sure it would be visited more often. Seems like it should only take a few minutes to get out there but it's a good 20 minute hike from Janesville.
Short but tight course. Greens run true. The greens are smooth but don't seem as fast as in years past.
Excellent practice facilities and very good overall course conditions. I'll be back! I'd play it more often but a little too far away to be a regular stop.
Great course overall!
This is one of my favorite courses and I'm so happy they returned to GolfNow!
