Prairie Falls Golf Club

About
Prairie Falls Golf Club opened as a nine-hole course in 1999 and the second nine was added in 2000. Though each nine has a unique character, they combine seamlessly to create a fair test. It's an ideal course for high handicappers learning the game but it's not an easy course by any means. The front nine is a player friendly parkland layout with wide and forgiving fairways. You won't be penalized if you're slightly errant. You'll have the opportunity to build up your score on the front nine, putting you in a good position for facing the tougher back nine where there is less room for error. Prairie Falls Golf Club'a back has a links-style design with narrow fairways and tricky greens with subtle breaks. It's a challenging but fair course and if played smartly there are some birdie opportunities available.

Great round
weather was perfect, course in excellent condition, and the pace of play was fast.

Too Wet
I have always enjoyed playing Prairie Falls. This last time we played the course was too wet in many areas. I understand they need to water to keep the grass alive when it is hot but, it was over watered in a lot of areas making it worse than winter conditions. Unfortunately I would not play it again until conditions improve.
Friendly Staff - well manicured course
Top notch public course. Friendly staff. Well manicured course. Pace was a little off that day it seemed. It took 1 hour to get to #5 tee box where we again had to wait. It did finally take 4 1/2 hours total for 18.
Not worth the cost.
First off if you find a really good deal with the golfnow app the course might not honor the price. This happened to me Oct 1st 2016. Found a great deal booked it then got a call in the morning stating the golf course made a mistake on the listing and wouldnt honor the price. So when i called the golf course they were extremely rude and just didnt care.
On another point unless you find a really good deal the course isnt worth the money. They want top dollar for a $10 course. You're better off going to the Highlands great place and a good price. Plus its a fun course.
Would be a fun ,challenging course if not for the pace of play.
Greens recently aerated and sanded, which wasn't a problem as we knew in advance. Biggest problem was the pace of play, no Marshall on course. Stacked up 3 deep on some of the tee boxes. the 2 groups in front of us were playing as a 8 some. All would tee off from the TIPS, then the 1st 3 would play their 2nd shots, and continue to the green. Next 2 groups would then play to the green , then all 3 groups would putt out and tee off as a group again. They wouldn't let the 2 some right in front of us play through even. Won't be golfing there again when there are so many other great courses in the area.
New Owners Great Course Condition
We have been playing this course since it opened. The new owner has improved conditions enormously and it is a lovely kept course now. The staff is friendly and helpful. We like that they have added draft beer. Considering buying a pass again!
Great morning
We played early on a Friday, the course was in great shape, there was no waiting and the young man who checked us in was super friendly.
2 completely different 9 holes
Great course for the money. Two completely different 9 holes holes from the front to the back.
Waiting game!
The waiting time on the course was terrible the day we played. We had an 11:06 tee time for two players. On the second hole we were already waiting 5-8 minutes per hole with three foursomes in front of us. On the 10th hole we thought it may get better if some ahead of us were only playing 9. We ended up going around a slow foursome at hole 11 and played on from there with only a group of two walkers in front of us who were playing at a normal pace. It took us three hours to play the first nine and an hour to play the second 9. The course needs to manage letting people out at their tee times better. We were told to "just go out when you are ready". There was a marshall that we saw as we were heading out to the driving range but never saw him on the course at all.
Very well maintained course
I was very impressed with the quality of care for the course. The greens were immaculate and the layout was very challenging with the late afternoon winds and blinding sun coming in. Overall a great round!
Fun time
I thought the front 9 was easier than the back 9. The drainage was very good for the amount of rain earlier in the morning, and greens were consistent. The back 9 has a few holes where you can't see the ball land, and hole 16 can be a tough Par 4. Staff was great, and will play again later this year.
Short but challenging
While this course is relatively short in yardage, the designers did a lot with what they had. Many of the holes have challenging aspects- traps, greens, etc.
Friendly staff fast pace
Overall decent course friendly staff
Conditions are VERY GOOD
I haven't played here in about 15 years. I had heard that it had had a couple rough years recently, but the ownership had changed. If that is the case, they've done a great job.
The course, and especially the greens, were in very good condition. They are smooth and roll well, and the speed is good. Not too slow, and not super fast.
We played on a Saturday afternoon and the pace of play was right at 4 hours, and that was with several waits on the tee on our back 9.
I will definitely go back when I'm in the area again.
Greens are the monster here
From tee to green the course looked and played very healthy. The two nines were much different from each other, the front had houses and the back opened up much more. The course offers wide fairways and the greens were medium to large sized with lots of slope. Even the fairways had slope in them. The difficulty on the greens is where you won or lost your round.
I''d like to see some water coolers and restrooms available on the course and the pace of play was an issue. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.
