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.

Nice challenging quiet course

I had the chance to play in the middle of a work day with my daughter who is a new golfer. Chose a time when we thought we would have time to work on our skills. The course was challenging enough for a new player and yet allows for successful rewards as well.
The grounds were in great shape and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

I would definitely recommend playing this course if you have the opportunity.

Feel good kind of course

It has matured into a wonderful place to play. It needs to be marshalled more. Everyone should enjoy their round of golf. But golfers need to be aware of what ready golf is.. What pace of play means. And have consideration to others playing golf. Not to mention show more respect towards the course itself.. Too many lazy people using age, overweight and lack of respect, to do what works for them and showing little consideration for the players behind them..

Fine tuning

fun golf course, there are some good holes. Greens are inconsistent, with respect to speed. Ball marks everywhere. Seems like a top dressing or two would help. Tee boxes are uneven. They need to be leveled. Rough is thick. Fairways are fine. Greens and tees need some work

I love this course!!

My brother in law recommended this course. I absolutely loved this course. Don't let the short yardage fool you. The layout is challenging, the course is in excellent condition, the staff (outside and inside) are extremely polite and helpful. The course is quiet and peaceful. The only sounds you hear are birds and wildlife and the occasional echo of a ball careening off a tree (there are lots of them to hit if you are not careful). This course should be named Pleasant Acres because that describes it to a tee (ha ha, see what I did there?) 19th hole bartender was engaging and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the area and let me have a taster (of an unknown to me) beer. I recommend the 312 brand. The kid at the end was smiling and helpful as well.

Fun course to Average Players.

Its a short course. Lots of chances to birdie all day. Good shape. Greens in good shape. Easy course to play. Not difficult at all. The back nine gives u a different look. But the back from the blue tees your less thsn 75 yards to the green. For a golf now .com buy its great but to pay course price NOT worth it. If ur a long ball hitter like our party u need a 5 wood or 3 iron off the box. Friendly and very nice club house. I would do it again for my short game.

Nice short course

Tough greens make up for the short par 4s. Rough a bit too long. Had a late Saturday afternoon tee time so we thought we'd be able to cruise thru the course. Instead, we were waiting at every tee box. Not sure if it was bad tee time spacing or several slow groups ahead of us. Ended up just stopping after 13 holes as it was already 3 hr. 35min

Will play again though

Expensive cocktails also

Great value course!

We had an amazing round on this course. The staff was very friendly and asked if there was anymore that they could do. The course was very wet due to rain the previous night but, very receptive to quality shots. All in all a great value.

Awesome

The course was in excellent shape the pace of play was great. It was just the two of use and it wasn't until the 18th hole did we ever have to wait to tee off. Great spacing of time for tee times. I hope to get to play this course again.

Can chalange all abilities

First time playing here. It was a pleasure from the check in at the pro shop to the AW-SUM Rubin Sandwich after play.
Club selection is key to the many Dogleg holes, Narrow Fairways and tough par 3s. (I have a mental block on par 3s)
I will be back soon!

plays longer than noted yardage

I've played this course a few times and always enjoy it...plays much longer than the 6000 listed on the card...forced layups and very undulating greens located on rises/hills help make up for the lack of distance. The par 3 are the stars of the course.
