Decent Course. Good value for the price

I played what I believe was the Red and White course. They have 27 holes with each 9 holes having a color for the name.

Course was in pretty good shape. Fairways and greens were long and slow. Could have been possibly because it had rained hard for the past week. The greens looked like they had not been cut in a week so I am giving it three stars on Course Conditions.

The lay out is nice as most of the holes have great scenery for a N.TX golf course with lakes and trees.

I will most likely not play this course again. It is a three star course overall that is a great value at less than $30 to play with a cart most days. It would be a great place for new golfers.

Great Course, but Super Slow

Great course over all. Fun layout. Great condition from tee to green. Friendly staff, and great BBQ. But the pace of play was terrible. If this place gets a starter for organization and marshals to speed up pace of play, then this place will be great. Teed off at 11:30 and finished at 5. Way to long for a round of golf.

If you haven't given this course a try, do it!

From the front door to the final hole, this place is a hidden gem right in the middle of DFW. Friendly staff, great food and an outstanding course design. We went for the first time last week and we are booked for a round at 12:15 today. Check this place out!!

Decent Muni

Enjoyed the day of golf. Glad I got a hot deal and paid a cheaper rate. Course was in ok shape, there is some construction going on. Greens weren't the best, kind of bumpy, dry.

Not bad for a cheap round of golf

The course was in worse shape than I remember it when I previously played it a few years ago. It does have holes that present challenges, but overall, the course is fairly easy for the average amateur. There's a decent amount of water but virtually zero sand.

The greens were in very poor shape. I would not recommend this course to anybody except for the casual golfer who just wants to get 18 holes in.

Still a Challenging Layout

I have been away from the DFW are for over 20 years. I used to play this course a lot in the 80's and 90's, I was excited to get a chance to play here again. The layout is pretty much what I remembered. On the surface Prairie Lakes doesn't' intimidate. There are, however, a lot of subtleties that make this course pretty challenging. Accuracy off the tee is a must. Almost every par three is over water, and the greens play a lot quicker than they look. A lot of undulation as well. I found the front desk staff to be adequate. I saw a lot of Marshall's around the clubhouse, but never saw one on the course. The Edelman restaurant workers, specifically the female staff, were atrocious. Service was poor, and the female staff acted like they were doing me a favor just waiting on me. The food was good, but over-priced.

Would I play Prairie Lakes again? Yes, but it will be awhile. There are a lot of other golf courses in the area that are more deserving of regular play.

27 holes to play nice layout

Saturday was a beautiful day to play golf everyone wanted to play was not enough carts for all the players our foursome was

About the last group to get out on our tee time due to the cart situation. Play was not too slow for amount of people playing.

Hard to evaluate greens should be great a little later in the spring pen placement was difficult on several holes

We had a great time even with the number of players

Thanks

Good Round!

The course offered a great challenge to my overall game. I enjoyed each hole unique design and lay out. The par threes were long and challenging as well.

Good course

Playing the blues and white course are very good to put the ball in play. Trees on both sides of course....water on some holes makes it very challenging.

No one toe blame but Me.

I like this course a lot. It is always in at least average condition. This time, the fairways and the tee boxes were hard as rocks. Many tight lies, even in the middle of the fairway. The greens were next to perfect! This is a tricky course on any of the 9's.
We played the blue and the red. Lots of trees. I mean, lots of trees, and some tricky water. Where you land your tee-shot is very important on this course. If you do that and hit a decent approach, all three of these 9's are fun to play. The rough is not intolerable. As usual, I beat myself with good drive, poor approaches and less than preferred putting. You will like these tracks and be back. By the way, the BBQ was really good.

Challenging course!

The course is in fair condition for being winter time. The fairways still have some grass on them and the greens still roll true. It's a challenging course and I like challenges.
