Prairie Lakes Golf Course - White Course

As a relatively cheap public course this golf course attracts beginner golfers like myself and others. This was my second time playing here and my first time went smoothly. This second time did not. Checking into the tee time you could tell the pro shop worker was not in the best of moods which is totally fine because we all have those days. He wasn’t rude but wasn’t giving us a positive feedback. As we left and went to tee off, driving to the first hole the pro shop worker was outside and decide to yell at as from the parking lot as we are on the cart path going to the first tee. I have not been golfing very long and it was my friend’s first time ever. We did not know you were not allowed to play with only 1 set of clubs as we were going to share mine. The pro shop worker yelled at us telling us we needed to rent or bring our own clubs. I said it was our first time together and he said he will let it slide but to not come back again unless we have 2 sets. This entire interaction was rude, embarrassing and unnecessary. If he had something to say he should’ve came to us and discussed it rather than yelling at us from 25+ feet away with many other golfers teeing off, putting, and waiting in line nearby. The point of having 2 sets he said was to not slow the pace of play down which i agree, but the next person to tee did not end up doing so til we were almost 4 holes infront of him and he did not play all 18 like we did. As my friend went back inside to buy a glove the pro shop worker was nice to him. As I walked in to help my fiends choose you could definitely see the vibes were uncomfortable. As we played I observed many other people were sharing clubs. I asked these two teens if the were told anything and they denied. Sad thing is I do like the course and the other workers around but unfortunately this one interaction really made the whole experience unpleasant. Tee time was at 2:22 on Sunday the 7th if the course decides to look into this.

The course is in good shape with good cvoerage on the tees, fairways & greens. Greens are rolling well but beware the different levels on the greens - you need to be on the same level or below the hole if you want to have an easier putt. Pace of play was an issue with some beginner golfers in the group in front carving the ball all over the place. The real issue was that they were sharing clubs so it took them a while to play their shots but they did let us through & pace of play increased until we ran into the next group struggling to get the ball on the fairways. I guess that's what you expect on a busy course like this. Despite this it was a good course to play with some interesting holes to challenge golfers of all abiliities.

Clubhouse staff, especially unfriendly to people of color. I don’t understand why.

This golf course is my friends and I favorite course to play at, always a go to for us never a hesitation to play here. Great pricing is the first thing and the condition of the course is always great. Little sandy on the greens this last go around but it’s okay. Just feels better than most of the more expensive courses in the area. I love playing here, staff is great, just overall an amazing experience.

We decided last minute to try and find a course for Friday afternoon. Wow, Prairie Lakes was open for $35. When we arrived, they said it’s only $27 for seniors!!! Course was great considering the heat. Nice fairways and greens. David checked us in, very nice guy. Mia handled our beverages, very kind to us. Great afternoon!

The course was great! I played the Whites and Blue nines. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The weather was very hot. Had a 10:15 T time and it was 98 degrees when we finished. I am glad I had brought plenty of water to drink since we only saw the beverage cart once the entire round.

The greens were pretty shaggy but it was a hot Aug. week so I assume they do that to save the grass. It takes several holes to learn how slow they are but they were pretty consistent.
