Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2022 #16)
Reviews
May Golf
Quality course, friendly staff and very helpful. Beginning of the season so I'm sure they will have drink carts during summer months. Greens are in good shape, will probably get harded as the summer air dries them out.
Challenging little course
The course is challenging due to lots of water, trees, and hidden landing areas. The greens were in beautiful shape. The fairways and tee boxes could use some tender care. Overall, I enjoyed playing this course that was new to me.
Memories
This was the first time I had played the Prairies since shortly after they opened in 1996. It was a tournament for Mehlville high school. Memorable as a unconfirmed tornado came across the course when our foursome was furthest from the clubhouse. You should be proud of your course. Best park course in Illinois.
Review
Enjoyable round only effected by the wind. Considering it is March, the fairways were relatively "full" and the greens were in great shape.
Great time
The course was in great shape, pace of play excellent. Ease of checking in fabulous!
Fun course to play, good value, worth a second look
Course is short from the regular tees, but it offers several classic risk/reward holes where you must decide at the tee whether to gamble or play smart. Gamble and hit it in play and you've got a flip wedge to the green; gamble and miss and you're in jail or reloading. You can make a lot of birdies, but also some bogeys, doubles or worse.
I can't wait to play this course again when it's green and the grass is not dormant. It appears you need to play this course a few times to know how to play it. There are 3-4 holes I will definitely play differently the second time: a couple more aggressively, a couple with more "discretion" off the tee.
Prairies
The greens r supper fast n in excellent condition some of the best I've played this year just wish the fairways had more grass a little bare
Nice course for the money
Very playable and very player friendly especially for women
Great staff
We played on a low volume winter day, so the pace was as quick as we could play. But the course was is good shape, especially considering the amount of rain we had days prior. The greens were in good shape.
But the staff at the pro shop was outstanding. We had a tee time, he had the cart ready and waiting and we were off to the first tee in minutes.
Excellent
Excellent course for the money. Rates are very fare especially if you use hot deal. Some easy holes and some challenging holes. Overall a great afternoon.
Good Course/Bad Outing
The course was great. I just had a bad outing.
All in All I had fun.
Inexpensive course, good greens, slow play, very flat couse
This is an inexpensive course, that I checked out on GolfNow to see if it is one of those hidden gems. It was not, unfortunately. It was inexpensive and the greens were very good. But the slow play made you feel rushed since there were sometime two groups waiting behind you as we were waiting to hit. A few holes were very narrow, which made it more interesting and the par fives had strategic water placement to keep you from hitting driver. It was an OK course.
Prairies golf course
Course was in good shape but water standing on several holes.
Nice course - reasonable challenges
This is the first time I played at The Prairies of Cahokia. It's a nice layout. I'd say it offers moderate difficulty. Hole 9 is a bit odd. It's the hardest dog-leg right I've ever played - a little hard to get the lay of it until after your tee shot.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The snack bar food was quite good, especially the burgers.
Carts were in good shape. Cart paths also in good shape.
My only minor complaint is that some of the rough was just a little bit patchy. But the fairways were decent and the greens were well maintained. For the hot rate we got, it was a great deal.
play it
If you feel like your playing pretty good but just cant get the score you want, this is your place! I like to call it my ego-booster place. The greens are very consistent and its short! I drive about 230ish and play the blacks, Great place to play as a beginner but lots of lost balls if straight isn't your thing. Ive birdied at least half the holes out there so it can be done. I recommend
Nice course for the money
Nice course used almost all my clubs during the round.
Fantastic!
I thought this course was in fantastic shape for what you are paying. $24 for a round with a cart.
Greens were in exceptional shape. I was pleased to see how many people were repairing their ball marks and divots. The course is wonderful for providing free divot repair tools to every player. They are located inside the pro shop, at the door, next to the pencils and scored cards. I really think this helps reminds the players how important it is to fix your ball marks.
Fairways were nice and around the green was nice. Good course. Incredible value. I'm surprised more of you aren't playing here.
