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.

Pleasantly surprised

I saw how awesome the course looked from the road and it did not disappoint. What a great way and place

to spend a day hitting a little white ball.

Great value, well maintained

This was the final course for a golf trip for our group and we were really impressed with the challenges of the course and how well it was kept up. The green rolled faster than many others in the area. The driving range and clubhouse amenities were an extra bonus

Going downhill

Greens were as slow as I have ever seen them at this course which used to be known for true,fast, undulating greens. Now they are shaggy, slow, land mine filled atrocities. Pace of play can be an absolute nightmare. The views/amenities are the best around in the area. Outstanding pro shop staff. Be wary of new GPS carts as they were routinely 15-25 yards off. Still relatively good value for Northern Illinois but no longer a notch above Silver Ridge or Aldeen and most certainly not comparable to highly esteemed Chicagoland public tracks.
