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.

Great shape, great layout and can’t wait to play it again.
Best bang for the buck
Like the title says, that $40 around, this is the best golf course in the city for that price. I will be looking to become a member at this course

Great Course, Greater Price Tag
My father and I were in the greater Indianapolis area for a father-son weekend and after researching the best course options landed on Prairie View. Based on the course marketing and other reviews, our expectation were set high. While the course was above average in most aspects and weather was perfect, we both left questioning the investment in these 18 holes. At $90 per person, the course conditions left much to be desired. A dry summer may contribute to dry fairways and greens, but $90 a round should be more than enough to ensure conditions are at least adequate which was not the case. The fairway and green conditions were indicative of an average (at best) golf course. Additionally, on a less-than-busy Saturday morning we were forced to be paired with two others for our tee time, despite having no one on the course other than the very next group behind us. This took away greatly from the father-son aspect of our trip. Overall, we enjoyed our experience but I would not recommend playing Prairie View for more than $50-60 per round. Similar courses in our home area are priced significantly more reasonably and I am confident better value options exist in the Indianapolis area (e.g. other patrons of the course recommended we go to Purgatory the next day). BOTTOM LINE: Prairie View lends a great experience, but the price tag is unnecessarily high for what you get.

Bad Putting Greens
The Greens were shaggy and slow.
Ball marks all over them. Pace of play was terrible.
No Ranger on the course. Will not play this course again.
Hi, we are sorry to hear that you found our course in less than desirable shape. We appreciate the four-star review, and hope you will consider returning in the near future.
Course is in pristine condition
Layout is challenging, greens were rolling, and beer was delicious. What more could you ask for?
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.
Great Experience
The course was in great condition, greens weren’t extremely fast but fast enough and were very receptive to approach shots. Tees and fairways were in great condition and the layout was challenging. Normally I don’t spend this much but weekend morning round, and I don’t feel like I was cheated. I would come back for sure. (Handicap: 9.5)

Fair track
Prairie view was in great condition and it’s an excellent layout. If you hit your spots, reguardless of what tee you play from you will be rewarded. There are several intimidating approaches but missing correctly will result in a good score. Front 9 took 1:40 with a foursome. Back took. 2:40. The hold up was at least three groups in front of mine.

Rough
Fairways and greens were in excellent shape! Staff was welcoming and 1st class as always. It Seemed like the first cut of rough hadn’t been mowed in a few days. Myself and several others I came across lost several balls just feet off the fairway.
