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.

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.

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.
