Glenview Prairie Club

2nd time played and brought 2 guys with me. Well taken care of and the high grass in the sides is nice touch. Helps separate from other holes. Would be nice to expand another par 3 to a 4 but you prob don’t have space.

Only 9 holes but the long waits on each tee box made it feel like 18!

First time playing this course today, but long time golfer. The starter lady was incredibly rude. My friend who I was playing with said “I’ve never seen someone say so many unfriendly things in less than 60 seconds.” To top it off she was also not wearing a mask to protect herself. They need to have a talk with her. Otherwise very well maintained course.

The greens were kept up and it was relaxing to play 9 on this course!!

Course was in very good condition. A great course to play with a learning player.

I play this coarse alot, it's a fun, but challenging 9 holes of golf. It's great for a quick round, but has traps and water hazards that are challenging. And at the 7th hole, depending upon the time of day, you might get to see police or fire departments training next door!

The Good: 9-Hole, Par-31 short course designed by local Rick Jacobson, Glenview Prairie is a good option if you only have a couple hours to play or don't have enough cash in your wallet for the adjacent Glen Club. Consisting of 5 Par-3's & 4 relatively short Par 4's, it is in really good shape and the green contours are interesting enough. Nice clubhouse with full bar/restaurant, as well as decent putting green. The staff is nice and do their best to keep the pace of play moving along.

The Bad: Many of the regulars show up unannounced without tee times, which can cause some pace of play issues for someone like me who booked a tee time. At $29 w/ cart for 9-holes on a short course, it is pretty overpriced. The Par 3’s, while nice, are all relatively the same distance. I would have hoped for a couple of longer Par 3’s to mix it up a little bit. No driving range is a bummer.

The Verdict: Glenview Prairie is a solid option for younger players and seniors. It has much of the design charm of a typical Jacobson course, but subdued due to its target audience and length. There are, however, several other traditional length 9-hole courses that are far better for the money.

Best Hole: The Par-4 6th hole is the most interesting drive on the course, which requires a fade around a large fairway bunker & then approach to the most undulating green on the course.
