Prairie View Golf Club

This place is absolutely unreal. It was extremely busy but didn’t inhibit a great round on an unbelievable course/layout. Staff treats the general public as well as they do their members; friendly, accommodating, proactive. A must-play whether you live in town or are visiting/passing through.

This was my first time at Prairie View even though I have lived in the area for 30 years. Why have I never played it before? I must be an idiot. It is one of ( if not the) best courses in Central Indiana. My first comment to my buddy was on the practice green. I said this looks like astroturf. It was perfect. I could go on and on about course, but words are limited. The staff was extremely kind, and there were rangers on the course. Two more words.....PLAY IT !

Great course, great facilities, great on-site team - all for a great price.

Need Marshall, 5 hour round is unacceptable. Miserable day.

What a course! Had heard about this place for years, but finally got out here and what a surprise. Even though it was raining for most of the round ... this course will not disappoint! Great mix of links/woods, and challenges (sand, water, trees) abound without interfering with the game. Still plenty of open space for some fun! One of the top courses in Indianapolis for sure! Will definitely return!

Nice golf course - one of the nicest one in the area, highly recommended. The staff are awesome too

Staff was friendly and efficient.

Service was exceptional. Course and weather conditions were excellent.

Can’t wait to come back!

It was just shy of a year since the last time. Great shape then and great shape on 4/27/18

I got a great price on golfnow otherwise it's above my pay grade. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were fantastic! If you get a chance to play...don't hesitate to go!

I love this course. Nice layout with fantastic fairways and a fair amount of heather. The greens could be faster, but I imagine they are already too difficult for the majority of players.

There are a number of different tee boxes to make the course enjoyable for anyone. If you have time, I recommend making a day out of it. The practice facility is nice and grabbing lunch or dinner afterwards will be worth it as well!

I was looking forward to playing to finally playing this course after being one of the top ten in the state according to Golf Digest. I will start out by saying that the course layout is one of the best, if not the best, in the state! If you play the correct tees, it is a very fair golf course. However, the course maintenance seemed to be lacking from what it should be. All of the bunkers that I played out of were rock hard. Even after raking the bunker, it was hard to find that nice fluffy sand. The par 3 tee boxes were extremely torn up. It was hard to find a spot where you weren't standing in a divot hitting your ball. I also felt that it was odd that they aerated the greens already. I have nothing against aerating the greens at all. I completely understand that it has to be done to keep them nice, but normally that's not done for another month at least. The greens also looked like they were starving for water. It just didn't seem like the greens were healthy. The fairways and rough were in great condition. The fairways were fast and the rough was very manageable as long as you knew what you were doing.

The driving range was just ok for me. There were plenty of targets to hit, but I had to wait about 20 minutes just to get a small bucket of balls to warm up. There was no one in the academy for me to pay for the bucket. I had to wait until the person retrieving the balls from the range came in to purchase one.

Overall, I would say that the course is trying to push as many people out on the course as possible to get their premium payment instead of holding off a few rounds to perform the much needed maintenance and up keep on the high traffic areas. It was a shame to see the course in that shape since there's such great potential of what that course could be with the layout it has.

The course is easily one of the best in the state in terms of layout and conditions. Starting from the range and practice area, and going through the course it's easy to see how it gets and deserves its reputation. The course is tough, but fair. Keep it in play, and play from the correct tees, and you can post a score here. Spray it and pay with tall grass and water ready to catch the ball.

The only negative was the pace of play. This started from the first tee, when we wound up in the middle of a bunch of twosomes stacked together behind some foursomes. No one paired us up at the outset, or too initiative to pair up on the course (ranger just waved and drove on), so it turned into a 2-3 deep on every tee grind, especially around the turn.

But, overall I wouldn't hesitate to go back. It's in great shape and a lot of fun. It's one of the top 3-5 courses around Indianapolis, easily. Deals can be found online, but you have to look for them in not so usual places.

I love this place. I was sad to see them drop off of the golf now site, but I get it. It's a bit pricy but it is so nice.

Played on a late Tuesday afternoon, and pretty much had the course to myself. The overall conditions were excellent given all the rain the area had received. Greens rolled true. To me is a little pricy, but is worth the play.

I have played all the top public courses in the Indy area to include Brickyard and the Fort and this is my favorite. The facilities are great and the staff are very friendly. The course is very well maintained...we had 30 minutes or so of showers midway through the round and they had gators with blowers drying the fairways right after. The carts are GPS equipped so there was never a question on yardage. Now the course...I love this RTJ course. Challenging, diverse holes (I used driver, 3W, 5W, 3H, 4I, 5I, 7I, 9I, and PW on tee shots)...they were challenging yet rewarding and open enough to feel you didn't have to be absolutely perfect. Plus there are multiple tees for all skill levels. There were prairie holes and several that went into the woods and were lined with trees...strategic bunkering, forced carries, great holes carved around the ponds...you can tell this course was meticulously thought out. The greens were fast, true and in prime condition as were the the fairways and bunkering (which is extensive). My brother, who I was visiting, bought a groupon so we had a very good deal...but I would gladly play $80-$100 to play it. If you can play a couple courses in Indiana, play the French Lick courses then play this one!
