Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2022 #16)
Reviews
Much Improved!!
Wow. Course is much improved since summer 2021. New management is working hard on making this place better by the week. Greens are now as good as most top courses around. Tee boxes and fairways are much better than last year. Still a bit to go but I’m excited to see how this compares in the fall. Course layout is challenging making you think twice on club selection from the tee on many holes. Still very low crowds playing during the week so you can play as fast or slow as you need. Can’t beat the value here either - $32 with cart. Plus they still allow you to walk 9 or 18 if you prefer.
Great Course and Greens!
windy so be prepared to either navigate the lakes leveraging the wind currents or find water on many holes! Great views and friendly staff!
Bring plenty of balls
They seem to be working on improving the condition of the course. It’s gotten progressively better over the years. I spoke to the greens keeper and he said they are now working on irrigation of the fairways in addition to tees and greens. There are some drainage issues to resolve too. It’s a good value now but once all that is done it should be great. We lost a ton of balls but that’s not their fault. There are lots of trees and water hazards and we found almost all of them.
The Prairies
We played the Prairies around noon. Weather was nice somewhat overcast and warm at times. Fairways were in good shape, greens were very consistent and very good condition. No bare or dead areas.
Had a great game. Will definatly play there again!
Slowest Golfers in the Midwest
The course was very well kept, staff seemed friendly, but good lord everyone ahead of us took 10 minutes per shot looking for their ball in the woods lol.
Fairways and greens were well kept , not very spaced out though. Feels like every hole is on top of one another.
I really like this course.
This is a really nice flat course. A few holes are challenging. If you haven't played here you should definitely try it.
2022-p1
Pro shop being remodeled but opening soon. No food available because of contract/license issue.
Bad Shape
No food, no beer, no alcohol and course was in terrible shape. Lady at the bar was very nice explaining why they have nothing!
Prairie’s keep getting better
They continue to improve the greens of the fairways come around next season gonna be a top 8 course in the metro east
