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.

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!
Course was great
First the GPS on here sent me to a farm house. On arriving the long drive was in good shape and inviting maybe a little more signs would be helpful. When checking in the young staff a little like not happy I used golfnow or could it have been Sunday don't know won't stop me from coming back. When said my first time here not much to help but tee one around the pond. Nothing about range or where the cart was.
For the course was in great shape for the end of the year. The greens had a few leaves on them but it is part of fall play they played fast some holes were in hard position but made it a challenge with the new putter.. I will be going back even if its only my first full year
Much Imroved
I played this course back in 2005 and it was still maturing at that point. I think is have improved by leaps and bounds. It has a great setting being in a rural area with lots of woods around it. Very nice layout and a fun course to play.
Great coarse
Have always enjoy playing this coarse. Has the longest t- box I have ever seen
Great Price & Great Round
The price was really good. Like the free range balls. The course is hard if you do not know where you are going. I have golfed here at least 40 times in the last 10 years and love to make the drive down from Madison. Pace of play is sometimes slow. Overall, I give the course a B+.
Great Service
Corse is always in good condition. Dry in spits due to lack of rain but overall good and greens although were slow they were in great condition. The staff is super friendly and well trained. Kids were cleaning and moving during this slow day leaving the surrounding areas and bar spotless.
Nice Course and worth the trip
Prairie Woods was a nice course and it played harder than the 6000 yards sounds but would be a good scoring course after a few rounds to learn the landing areas. It was my first time playing here so I know that I could shoot better the next time around now that I know what the holes are like and where to aim off of some tee boxes. Greens were a little slow for my liking but they rolled true. If you can control a 5w or 3w off the tees that is all you will need on many holes and others ever a hybrid or 3 iron. I had a few nice shots that were just not aimed properly based on the landing area available to me. I would play again if I am back in the area. The course has many more hills and trees than you would expect from the surrounding area. The back nine has many holes that are tree lined. Staff was great, Its a nice touch to include the driving range with a paid greens fee and the beverage carts was always out and about.
Nice course for all golfers
golf course is in good condition. I would recommend this course.
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..
Fun and challenging
I would play this course again for sure!the course is beautiful! The staff is friendly and courteous. The setting is relaxing and off of the busy road. It is a refreshing and enjoyable place for all levels of golf!
VERY INTERSTING COURSE!
1st time playing this course. It has some very interesting holes. Very challenging. There are allot of risk and reward holes - which I like! I would recommend this course to ANY player!
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
Prairie woods golf
Course in great shape beautiful day to golf, was not happy to see kick ball out on course same time as golfers
nice layout
played for the first time greens dry but nice staff was great! will play this course more now as I think I will play it better next time>
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.
its like an airport runway!
