About
Prairie View Golf Club is a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design – the only one in the state of Indiana. Laid out across 206 acres along the banks of the White River, the course is characterized by rolling prairie land interspersed with stands of oaks and sycamores. In addition to the course’s more than 80 bunkers, five lakes, a stream and natural wetlands provide diverse challenges to golfers playing any of the course’s five sets of tees.

Prairie View: one of my favorite places to place
great condition…. GPS is excellent, and speeds up play.
Top tier public course
Beautiful course, immaculate greens. Through 18 holes in under 4 hours on a relatively busy week day. Big Lug Brewery beer/food menu in clubhouse is an excellent bonus!
Great course
Strong layout some visually intimidating holes, fun green complexes, great staff and facility. Could play everyday.
Excellent course all aroind
There is nothing bad to say about this course. Everything is top notch here. There course is in excellent condition. It always is but it was spectacular for this time of year. The off-season rate made it a good value. The regular rate is pricey but the course is worth it. If you get that chance to play here...Do it!!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Prairie View Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
If course is undergoing maintenance golfers should be advised! JUST COMMON COURTESY.
Booked a round online, NO mention of any course maintenance being done. Once we start our round we find that they are purging the water lines and many of the holes are not playable. Add to that the pro shop allows a 6-some of inconsiderate young golfers to jump ahead of several groups already on the course., causing a backup for the groups behind. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? WHY ARE 6-SOMES EVEN ALLOWED ON A BUSY DAY? ....This is a nice layout but the staff here is lousy, not the first time we have run into issues with the pro shop staff. Done with this place!

nice golf course
the layout was very nice and the staff was very nice. we were paired with two gentlemen who played the course many times before and were very helpful. especially when the in-cart gps warned us about blind shots on a couple of holes. some very difficult holes as well as a couple pretty easy holes. I'd recommend this to all.

One of My Favorites
I live in Indianapolis and have played at Prairie View several times. It never disappoints! Even late in the season, this course was in great shape. I feel extremely fortunate to live so close to such a fantastic course. My only complaint - unless you can find a deal through Golf Now, it's not a cheap place to play. But hey, you get what you pay for, right?
Thank you for reviewing the course. We appreciate your kind words on the conditions this late in the season. Your feedback about the price of our course is important to us.

Thank you for playing Prairie View Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
3rd time and still loving it!
Played PV for the 3rd time in 3 weeks and it keeps getting better! Fairways have dried out and the greens are rolling great! Super bargain at Fall rates - get out and enjoy!
Thank you for taking the time to review us. and leave 5 stars. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Prairie View Golf Club thanks you!
Cold strong winds
A small pet peeve I have acquired from nicer courses is the lack of ball washes on courses. Maybe they don’t need to be on every hole. But to have none at all is a bit much. Fall time is considerably more prone to a muddy ball that would be in the mist of leaves. Being able to spot your ball from a well struck shot is nice. But the course was next to empty due to some very high winds in the 20s I think. Ball shaping was a must. I’m a new golfer, but can manage to do some really nice things throughout the course of a round. So for me, it was about exploring a quality course in less than ideal conditions. I try to push myself through personal challenges. And today was not easy.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for an even better 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Prairie View Golf Club.
2nd time at the course as good as the 1st
Played the course after a previous day of rain. The course drains very well, particularly the bunkers. Greens were a little hard to read but rolled very well for late October. I would highly recommend this course for late season play!
Some very good deals in the clubhouse for end of season - golf shoes, clothes, etc.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Prairie View Golf Club.
Beautiful course, great year-round
This was my first time playing the course. Played after a night of cold rain, the course drained very well. I played this round with a member and he kept talking about how slow it was, which tells you how fast it is in the summer months.
Great course, wonderful design. Highly recommend.

1st time at Prairie View - won't be the last!
I had heard about this course from a number of friends but never had the opportunity to play it.
What a mistake in not finding this course before!
For late October (and 2" of rain the previous 2 days) the course was in great shape; fairways were manicured, traps were in good shape and the greens rolled very well. I definitely recommend playing the appropriate tees based on your handicap and age - this course can bite you if you don't!
