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.

Always excellent
Played on a 96 degree day. The course was in very nice shape and of course not too crowded. Staff made several above and beyond normal amenities including free bags of ice for beverages that were transported and ice water at the drink stations.
Great course and staff but play was slow
We enjoy this layout and the staff is friendly, but on this Sunday 11:00 round, play was very slow. And no assistance by a course marshall to speed up the group in front with more than two holes open ahead of them. We'll be back for the price, conditions and amenities at this course, but will stick to tee times that aren't likely to result in a five-hour round.
Great course very challenging very beautiful!!! Play was way to slow though!!!!
Awesome course! Awesome weather!
PrairieView is one of my favorites to play each year, a little bit of a drive, but most definitely worth it! Course is in excellent condition, pace of play was great, and the value is very good!
Great course!
This is a great course. Very well maintained and has a very nice driving range. Each hole offered it’s own challenges. You definitely have to reach into your bag for this course. Have fun.
Crowded
Prairie View is a fine course, but I was there on a nice day during the final week of their season and it was jammed. Almost 2 1/2 hours for the front 9 so I gave up at that point. Understandably, I suppose, the grill was offering only hot dogs and candy. I do look forward to playing there next year.
My 60th birthday
Unfortunately one of the members of our forsome had no golf etiquette whatsoever and surely does not belong on a course of this skill level. I have played golf since I was 5 years old I have been as low as a 1.7 handicap and have never experienced such a rude person .
Nice maintained golf course
Quality golf courses! Quality meals! Nice employee!
The course has great features
I have played Prairie view several times and I think it’s a great course and layout. Great bar and restaurant.
Best Value in Illinois
The course is well maintained, and the large greens have little slope but are quick. The golf and bar staff are friendly and courteous, but the course could use a ranger to keep people on pace.
