PrairieView Golf Club
About
Owned and operated by the Byron Forest Preserve District, Prairieview Golf Course sits on a scenic stretch of land that overlooks the Rock River. The layout will test different skills with plenty of variety, offering both open, links-style holes and tight, tree-lined holes. The design takes advantage of the rolling terrain, incorporating the varying elevations into the large and undulating greens. The breaks can make the greens hard to read and they're made even more challenging by more than 60 bunkers strategically places along the borders. There are also water hazards in the form of ponds and a meandering stream that come into play on five holes. In addition to the course, there is also a 15-acre practice facility with a driving range, two putting greens, and chipping and pitching greens with two bunkers.

A good walk rewarded
Beautiful day, outstanding course, and you can't beat the price. If this course was closer to Chicago it would be $50 or more.
Really pretty course. Great layout.
One of the best public golf courses in Northern IL.
Best course in the area, great conditions.
The course is in phenomenal shape. It is a pleasure to play and is real bargain for a premier quality golf course.
GREAT COURSE
THE COURSE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE STAFF WAS VERY NICE AND LET ME USE A TOWEL WHEN I FORGOT MINE AT HOME.
beautiful landscape with well maintained flowers
enjoyed enough that we are playing the course again the next day with a 30 minute drive from Rockford----was truly impresses with the many improvements since the last time I played well over 10 yrs. previously
Well maintained and groomed course.
The course is in excellent condition, playing like country club with tee boxes,fairways and greens in great shape. The course is challenging.
First golf in Indy
Really enjoyed the layout. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were in great shape for the most part with exception of a few areas with too much moisture and traffic. Multiple sets of tees for every skill level. No one gets five stars though. Well maybe Augusta National would but I'll never get to do that.
great value through Golfnow
great value, and condition, was well worth the 1.5 hr drive
Small town gem
For a new golfer this is a fair and fun course to play. Mostly wide fairways and big greens are usually surrounded by bunkers to keep you sharp. The back nine is more scenic, with many chances to see a deer or coon around the mature tree lines of the 11th and 12th holes.
Great practice area for putting/chipping and a driving range are available. The outside deck is fantastic and trumps the cozy and comfortable inside eating area.
A great place to golf.
great condition
very good course in great condition, good bargain. Practice facilities are also very good. greens in great shape.
way to slow
EFT after 4 holes and an hour and 5 minutes. Unacceptable on aTuesday afternoon at 2 oclosk
Exceptional course
The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The views of the surrounding area is breath-taking. All except seeing the nuclear plant steam-stacks. That was a bit unnerving/creepy.
picturesque holes
Great course for the dollar. Takes a little to get there. Overall good looking challenging course.
loved course
course was in great shape and I am looking forward to playing again soon. I highly recommend everyone play here.
Prairie Perfection
Great course, simple as that.
Challenging layout, true fast greens, in good condition.
Highly recommended.
Best Course in 100 mile radius!!!
Prairieview is the best course under $50 a round with cart in a 100 mile radius. The bent grass fairways, large greens, and challenging hazards make this an enjoyable and rewarding course. It has some long holes, but in general you have room for error off the tee is you spray a bit with the large fairways on most holes. Par 3s are average distance from 140y to 180y. Great course!!!
Great course , better value
Never heard of the course but played since I have a qualifier there in JuneI walked in and was greeted and help right away. Great short game area. The course was is great shape for April and with the horrible weather we have had. Great value and very challenging. Recommended for about an hr drive from the city.
This course reminds me of a TPC
Great bang for your buck. Burmuda grass, trees and tall grasses everywhere
