Staff needs improvement

I love prairie isle and this was probably my 5th time playing the course this summer but after yesterday it might have been the last! I’m not sure what the guys name that was in the front name is but he was horrible. This guy had an attitude the moment might uncle went in to check in while I grab our clubs. My uncle said something to me about it and when I went to check in same thing and good thing he caught me in a good mood because I would have laid it on him! I mean simple questions this guy responded like we were inconvenience him. Terrible and I’m sure we were not the only ones he acted like that towards.

Windy weather
Used cart

Started on the back nine. 3 foursome groups and 1 threesome group in front. There were 3 foursome groups on one hole on the back nine and front nine every other hole. Very slow pace. 2 hours 20 minutes back nine. Then played the front nine, exactly the same. The beverage cart was there at every hole. No ranger monitoring the players pace. I give this day a 3 star dues to this problem.

Golf pro a jerk

Got harassed by the pro shop manager or golf pro at the turn. He accused my group of not paying for a full 18 holes when we did. Not a friendly person. Course was great good conditions just very poor customer service. Would recommend the course to anyone just hope you don’t run into him.

Great layout

Some unique holes. Club selection off the tee is quite important!

Best shape around.

Been playing a lot the past few weeks many courses in the area. Prairie isle isn't the best shape of any of them bar none. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens. All in perfect shape
