Prairie Isle Golf Club

Considering Spring of 2018 is still on the horizon, course was in excellent condition; carts allowed on fairway, greens rolled true and will be much faster once warm weather arrives - best value in the area.

Highly recommend this course. Perfect conditions on 11/27/17, and it was 90 degrees with carts, which really helped the pace. Played another course today that is highly rated, cart part only, so big difference having access to drive on the course. This course is easily one of the best conditioned fun courses I play. Great mix of short/long 5's, 4's, 3's. 12 and 13 are fantastic holes that are not typical in the northern illinois area. This course is a must play for anyone that likes to try all great courses in their area.

The greens are the best in the area. They are like velvet! The course is well maintained and open well into the fall when other courses have closed for the year. We have played here sixteen times this year and it is always a joy! The only issues encountered are some of the workers that will not stop their equipment while you hit and the fact they burn all scrap wood in a big pile between hole 17 and 18. Massive pollution!

The greens at this course are the best I've seen this year. I've played over 50 rounds of golf this year at about 20 different courses. This course was in the best condition of any course I have played. You can't find a ball mark on any of their greens....they are PERFECT. It is well worth the money to play this course.

Best value in McHenry county. Great layout always in good shape. No ranger unfortunately so my only issue is the slow groups who seem to populate here. We were behind two singles who refused to join up even though we were waiting on every hole on the back 9.

Booked a noon Hot Deal a few days ago. Checked in @ 11:45 and as I had an exchange w/the clerk with a TON of attitude. I began speaking w/the clerk noting that there were not many cars in parking lot (12). Asked if I could pair up rather than play w/3 others in a few minutes since there were 20 people on course. If not, then I'd be happy to play w/the threesome. I was not asking for any special service. ( I work as a Ranger/Starter myself, so I know a thing or two about pace of play.)

He goes OFF on how great a rate I got from Golf Now and how it costs him to use their carts. He then says, "I don't care. If you wanna play alone go ahead. You'll be running into foursome in no time and will crawl the rest of the way. Do whatever!" I'm stunned! Where is this dude coming from? Lemme outta here. Don't need to listen to his incessant whining!

I talked to others about the practice green who had similar experiences. When I catch up to a twosome on 7 they tell me the same thing. This dude's gotta go. He need's help w/personal skills.Retraining?

I like the course quite a bit, but I won't return until I know this dude is gone. I play a lot (110 rounds to date.) and will play other establishments with MUCH better Customer Relations.

I found a deal on GolfNow and decided to play P.I.

The course had some challenging holes, but it wasn't overly hard that would take all the fun out of golf.

It wasn't intuitive where the next hole was all the time, so a few more markers would be nice.

Always look forward to playing Prairie Isle. Great course, immaculately conditioned, and a lot of fun to play. 8th hole is signature hole, par 3, 161 yards, 40-50 ft drop to green with water surrounding entire green. Great par 5's, solid par 3's great collection of par 4's ranging from 325-445 yards. 18 is great finishing par 5. holes 12-13 were created from an old rock quarry, so hit to the top of the hill and enjoy the view. Both have 40-50 ft drops to green. Highly recommended. Note: no driving range, and range across the street has been closed for some time. They do have a hitting net and great short game area.

Great course, challenging layout, well kept. I like having a set of tees between red and white. Friendly, efficient staff, good food. Lacks a driving range and the pitching practice green is always littered with balls.

One of my favorite layouts. Really like the variety of distances, difficulty this course offers. What I didn't like was that back greens were aerated a few days prior w/o any warning from anyone in the Pro Shop OR online. What a shame.

Won't return w/o calling ahead to find out the true conditions prior to booking.

My rec is based unknowing the courses greens are in good shape.

Course in excellent condition. front nine greens were great. Back nine were slow due to aeriatiion.

fun course to play with good combo of different holes. plays fast . greens were consistent. med. speed. Most were receptive. Will play again.

The front 9 was very nice but we had to play twice since back 9 was closed due to aeration.

The course is layed out well with risk and reward holes. Starts off with a par 5 and ends that way. Some holes you have to lay up for the 2nd shots in. The course is was in excellent shape.
