Prairie View Golf Club

I've played this course a few other times and my opinion remains the same, this course is fun to play. The course layout is awesome and other than a few tee boxes it's in fantastic shape. Definatelty looking forward to my next visit!

This course is always great to play. It is kept in near perfect condition. The fairways are beautiful and the greens undulate and are faster than expected. This is still my favorite course in Indy and would recommend it to anybody. It can be a bit pricey but if you are using GolfNow you should be able to find a great deal.

Nice Coarse but difficult. If you don't like sand...youre bound to end up in it....

This course is mostly open with tall grass and a few tree lined holes. The conditions were very good and well maintained from tee to green, although the greens seemed a little hard and slightly slower than expected. Most greens were well contoured and some were quite large. In most cases you could spray the ball a little without to many problems, however, a little local knowledge off the tee is helpful to negotiate a few traps and doglegs (#1, 5, 8, 10, 11, & 16).

The best holes were #9 & 12. 9 is a moderate to long par 4 with plenty of room off the tee and a severely sloped green contoured around a large pond. 12 is a double dogleg Par 5, around two lakes, which can be reached in two with a good drive and long second shot over water. Holes #10 & 11 are both short dogleg Par 4's that aren't bad, but it would be better if they weren't back to back. A driver can be too much on both.

The gentleman in the Pro Shop was not the friendliest individual and was basically indifferent upon arrival. The other staff members both outside and at bar/concession area were friendly and helpful.

Full disclosure, I'm not a links-style guy at all. But I jumped on a hot deal b/c of user reviews, savings, etc. It's a solid course (links/otherwise) but I was disappointed how chewed-up and unrepaired the greens were- also inconsistently cut from hole to hole (some furry, some fast). Also, it's open to a fault in my opinion- I don't like being able to see a dozen other holes from a given fairway, but that's just me. The fescue is ridiculous- I'd much rather be able to actually find my ball on an errant drive and punch out from behind a tree, rather than tread through heather and get my legs eaten by bugs and cut by weeds. Overall I found the course very challenging, well-maintainted (w/ the exception of several greens), but boring, and long...kind of like this review.

Really liked layout and course was in really good shape-I learned late in round that course had been flooded in spring which made its current condition all the more remarkable.

VERY impressed with the way the greens rolled-very true. Lots of bunkers but all appeared to be very well maintained.

Cart attendant very cordial. Would have liked to have spent more time on pro shop but pressed for time after round.

Overall, very good experience

Playing Prairie View Golf Club was a great experience. The course was challenging from the back tees but not overwhelming. Beautiful design of a golf course and great use of the property.

The golf course was in great shape. The fairways and greens were great. The course was challenging, but the GPS on the carts helped to determine the best shot off the tee and into the greens. Overall I would do this again once a month. Especially if they continue to do the "hot deals."

I enjoyed pLaying this course! It was challenging and in great shape.

Great value for the money. A nice blend of links / prairie and traditional course design that keeps your interest.

Prairie View is a unique opportunity to play a great layout designed by one of the premier golf course designers. Usually, this type of experience is limited to private courses, but Prairie View is available to everyone. The staff spends considerable energy in maintaining the course.

This course is one the few gems within the Carmel area. All around enjoyment (if you're playing well) at this course. I've been there a handful of times and will keep coming back.

I'm a member at Timbergate GC just south of Indy. There was an outing at our course so it gave us an opportunity to go to Carmel and play Prairie View. The course was in excellent condition and we felt pampered the entire time we were there. The staff works hard to keep up the pace of play, even when the course was full. It's still one of my favorite tracks in Indiana and I love playing there.

The twilight rates are incredible and a great value for the money.

Pratice range needs work, not only the tee area but the target greens could use some improvement. Prices have always been on the high end, but course conditions (Bunkers in particular) are better than most. Biggest issue seems to be ball marks on the greens and unsanded divots in the fairways around the 100 yard markers. For the $90 normal green fee, in the Indy area, expectation is Country Club like conditions.

This is easily one of the top few courses in Indianapolis available to the public. The in-cart "big screen" GPS was a great amenity. The course is in immaculate shape with the exception of #14 (which is being re-seeded and a couple of trees being taken down to help the green). If you ever get a chance to play, it is a must play course simply due to the groundskeeping expertise.

Great course, but bring your A game. Wayward shots can be excruciating.

Course was in decent shape after the drought we had all summer. Some of the greens were bumpy. But it is an awesome course that is very tough. I really enjoyed it!
