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.

Found time during the week to get in a round. The course is in good shape for early in the season. Plenty of openings to choose from.

Awesome course

This course is so much fun. Slight elevation changes, fun greens.

Something about the first 4 holes I'm not a fan of, but really can't say why.

I think my wife enjoys the course more. Both times we played here she holed out from green side bunkers.

Will definitely be playing this course again.

Blustery adventure

Appreciate course opening March 3rd for blustery 70 degree day in Wisconsin on March 3rd! Several holes shielded from the wind. Fun planning shots veering 40 yards in the swails! Sometimes we were two holes ahead, other times pushed, depending on the whims of the God of wind (Kohler?).

Great course

Beautiful, fun course in great shape for the fall. Fairways were blown off leaves and the crew was still working hard to keep it clean and professional. I will go back next spring for sure!

Gimmicky Course

this course was recommended by a neighbor so we gave it a try. When booking I thought it was pricy for the area on a weekday.

Course is kind of out in the middle of farms and cornfields so I was surprised to find a forested rolling hill golf course there. Weather was perfect and the course was in pretty good shape (lot of recent rain). The biggest issue we had was the layout. Hard to get around for a first timer. We had to ask the way to the next hold twice. Also, there were several right angle dog legs, blind shots over hills, etc. Would not go back there. Should not have been more than a $35 round for a weekday on this course.
