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 course

Course plays a bit shorter. Plenty of holes with quick turns that require well placed shots. Plenty difficult for a mid/high handicap. Staff was friendly. Play here often. Overall, as usual, a good experience

Challenging course!

Awesome course, I played the day after it stormed through the night so it was a little wet but they were out there fixing the conditions and making the bunkers playable. It's a bit pricey or I would probably play more, but I'll always come back a few times every season. If your into golf and in this area I highly recommend a round here!

Very challenging but fun

Absolutely loved this course, got behind a slow 3-some, but that’s not the courses fault. This course is not for new golfers though, very challenging but absolutely beautiful and well maintained. 100% will play this course again!

Disappointed

PW used to be my favorite course to play, but I’ve only golfed there once this year as their prices have gone up, and the only hot deals they offer on GolfNow are early in the morning. If they offered some deals in the early afternoon, we’d certainly find our way back there. They have a wonderful staff, and the course is fun to play, so I’m hoping to get back there this summer!

Friendly Staff/ Beautiful course/ Value for the money

You get what you pay for and more! The course is by no means straight up and down.. well it is on some holes but straight up greens from the fair way and downhill greens. Definitely a fun course for Advanved players I’d recommend!
