PrairieView Golf Club

I've reviewed this course before but forgot to mention the best part of the experience here. THE PRACTICE FACILITY. Only PGA courses can rival their short game area. I've been teaching for 20yrs and have played and practiced at a few hundred courses and I can't name too many that rival it. The one area I loo at first is do they have bunkers to work out of AND is the green large enough to simulate what you'll see out on the course. The answer to both of them is a resounding YES!! I truly hope the members and locals realize what kind of gem they have there. The local high school players have the best course to practice every part of their game. I really wished I lived closer (an hour away) to take advantage of this beauty on an everyday basis. Chipping green separate from the two putting greens in unbelievable. Bunker area like I said is a beaut.

Only reason I gave it 3 stars on pace of play is I got stuck behind an outing. Other than that this is a gorgeous course and challenging for all levels.

Couldn't believe the conditions to be so incredible. The value is unbelievable. Carpet fairways and perfect rolling greens

I happened to play this course since a friend of mine had business in Byron, Illinois. Got a great deal on Teeoff ($14 w/cart) on a Sunday afternoon.

I would warn first-time users that the course layout is poorly marked and the pro shop and other staff couldn't give me proper instructions to get to the driving range (good range). I also had a difficult time finding this first hole since they let a tree branch cover over the tee marker. Again, I had to guess where several holes were which was complicated by the tall grass between holes.

This course is a reasonable drive from Chicago (80-90 minutes). Be sure to get there from Illinois route 2 which goes along the Rock River and has a great scenic picnic area about 5 miles before town.

Don't expect a challenging course or helpful staff.

Great condition and fun course to play. Has brand new electric carts with a built in monitor to tell you the distance to hole in every shot!! Amazing! Every course should have this technology.

Whata great course. Best in the area . Had a 145 tee time but got off early. Beautiful course, fantastic weather. Great day in all..

This is a 65 minute trip for me so I don't come here as often as I'd like.

Great price!

Fun up/down layout.

Scoreable.

Quick greens.

Very good pace of play.

New electric carts.

GPS.

Always in good shape.

Anything else?

The course is fun to play. The greens were terrific. Not too fast and not too slow.

Course in beautiful shape, club house set up perfect. Out of all the times we play here, we rarely have a wait.

Heard it was a great course to play, but because of how inexpensive it was to play 18 at a course that had a great reputation, I was concerned driving 45mins. But it was worth it. Greens rolled true, fairways like carpet and the tee boxes level and well placed!!! The Amenties were excellent, great staff and good hot dogs. I will bring out of towers there and business clients. Great place to play!! B

Need some rain to soften it up but otherwise a great course. Only issue was a five some holding a bunch of us up pushing the round to 5 hours

The course is in great condition and the greens were a challenge. I probably enjoyed the course more yesterday than I ever had in the past. Nice bar to finish off the round. Go play and enjoy.

Prairie View is a hidden gem. I made the drive out to Byron from the western suburbs and couldn't be happier with my decision. From the first interaction at the pro shop right up until I left the facility I experienced nothing short of first rate treatment. The tee-starter/marshal was extremely courteous and helpful about the course layout and making my way around a course I had not been on before. The course itself was spectacular! The condition of the entire course far surpassed my expectations. The greens were in great shape, especially for this late in the year. The sand traps were well maintained and had the proper amount of sand in them. All and all a golf experience that would be a value at twice the price, not that I am asking them to raise the green fees. MAKE THE DRIVE, you won't regret it.

Enjoyed our 18 holes. Course was in very good condition for this late in the season. Very scenic, nice layout. Postage stamp greens on front nine, better bring your backspin!
Would definitely make the long drive to play again.

Superbly maintained public course in pristine condition.

The front 9 are more level while the back rolls up on the hill and gives spectacular views of the area.

I went out and enjoyed another great day of golf at prairie view. The only problem was when we made the turn there was a twosome teeing off of ten. My twosome waited on every shot of the nine for these two. Not to the courses fault but some very stuck up members

Found a great deal on an afternoon tee time and was very impressed. Challenging course, brand new gps enabled carts were a cool bonus. I will certainly be playing this course again and will recommend it to all my friends!

Very good value for the course. Also, little waiting times on the course.

I would play this course on a weekly basis if it wasn't over one hour drive to get there. but every time I play there I enjoy playing there. you better score well on the front because the back is harder and more elevations.
