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.

Took my wife golfing for the first time.. Had to go with a two young gentleman. They were patient and the greens were in great shape.
super slow back nine
Front 9 went well, Back nine took 3.5 hours,,, ugh it was awful.
Nice round. Course in good shape so far this spring.
They have switched the front and back nine, so now you go off on what used to be #10. It's a par 3 and that seems a little weird to start on. We flew through the course in 3-1/2 hours with waiting on every hole on the back. Suddenly at the turn, there were new people in front of us. I think they jumped in. But it was still a fast round. Hole #5 is completely closed, but they said it should open next week. The course was nice and green. The greens still a touch patchy. Just wish they would get better mats on the range.
Two different courses in one.
Front nines winds through homes and is fairly flat, but still no gimme, and the back nine is hilly with undulating and tricky greens. The greens on both nines are large and good shape.
The 9th and 18th holes are par 5s with large ponds you need to be careful of on your approach shots.
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!
