Prairie Isle Golf Club

I discovered this course by accident and keep coming back because each time I play, the course always presents a challenge. The course is well maintained - especially the greens which are true and smooth. Each hole will present the golfer with some risk-reward decisions with the risk being a lost ball, double bogey or both. However, the course allows for conservative play and good scoring. The 8th hole, their signature hole, is as aesthetically beautiful as it is challenging. Standing on the tee high above a green which has water virtually surrounding it, the golfer is faced the question: Can I get there with my wedge or do I try to hit a half 8 iron! Make no mistake, this course is very playable and will give golfers many reasons to come and play again. Unfortunately, the course does not have a driving range which makes warming up an issue.

This course is a fun and challenging track. The course is in great condition and holds up well with daily use. The par 3s - especially the signature #8 hole - are easily reachable but that doesn't mean birdies are automatic. The par 5s are reasonable with varying degrees of difficulty. There are hidden ponds patches of rough which will surprise you unless you pick up a course book ar the start of the round. The course lacks a driving range which is the only negative. There is a substantial practice putting green which will offer lengthy practice putts as well as side hill putts. HINT: practice the side hill putts because on the course you will be facing a lot of breaking putts. This course rewards solid short game play and there is a practice chipping, pitching and sand trap green to get ready for the course. The course meanders through "environmentally protected" areas so a ball going into such area is gone forever.

The course has a bar and some video gaming if that is your sort of thing. The bar doesn't offer a variety of food - but it does offer the basics. Just don't ask for the free pretzels with the intent of sitting on the patio. The server only provides pretzels to patrons sitting at the bar!

This course is definitely worth playing multiple times.

The course was in good shape except for the bunkers. The bunkers needed raking after the nights rain. The fairways and greens were well maintained. Pace of play was very slow, even for a Sunday.

CArt paths will beat you up but a minor issue. Big issue is that speed of pr

actice green NEVER ma tch the greens on the course. The practice green is like Augusta National and on the course much, much slower.

great staff-very friendly

our group typically plays our various private golf courses but when we want to play something different at a good price, PI is our choice

very fair yet challenging.

good staff

drains well

The course is very pretty, a lot of rolling hills, trees and and water, which all come into play if you aren't a straight hitter. Greens immaculate condition. My only complaint is that there are nearly enough yardage markers on the course, so if you're unfamiliar with the layout it can be a little bit challenging in club selection.

Nice course and great value for the price.

Staff was very accomodating and friendly..

Course was in very good shape from the tees to the greens.

If anything could have been better it would have been the pace of play on the back nine.

Overall a very enjoyable experience and will definitely play here again.

Forgot what a nice course this was and also in excellent condition, thanks Golf now for the reduced rate. Will play again.

They need to get the rangers out to keep the pace of play moving. We teed off on time but it took 5.5 hrs to play. that's horrible when you tee off at 8:30 in the morning.

The course was in excellent condition from tee to green. The staff is very friendly and the refreshment cart, was always around, even on a weekday. Highly recommended.

Play took over 4 1/2 hours ranger did nothing to speed things up and food was bad (hot dog and brat put in micro wave to heat and server on cold bun).

The greens were in GREAT shape. Quick but not too fast. I like fast greens as do most good golfers. I played 17 holes before the heavy rain came, ,that's when I quit. I love your golf course. It's challenging but fair. This course is 28 miles from my home but it's worth the trip. One of the very best tracks in Northwest burbs. I wish you had senior tees on some holes...I'm 74 years old and can't reach the long par 4 holes in two.

Par 3 and Par 5 are on the shorter side but overall it is a great course for the money.

Had a blast playing with 3 friends at Prairie Isle, the day we played greens were in great shape just as good as several of the private clubs we play. We spoke with the pro Tyler, he was very professional. The course also has brand new carts. Just a very

nice day with good friends and a very pleasant and challenging but fair course.

I have been playing Prairie Isle for 19 years, and never get tired of it. Great layout that is not overly long from the tips(6645 yds), and has many fantastic holes. Great par 3's, all with water in play, but do not play longer than 180 yards. 8 is fantastic, 45-50 drop to islandish green. Holes 12-13 were carved through an old rock quarry, so big elevation drops on both holes make them extremely fun to play. Superintendent does a fantastic job of maintaining the course. Definitely a must play.

Excellent value and a great golf experience. I used every club in my bag to navigate around this course. Greens were in fine shape for so early in the year.

the course was in good condition, considering that we played this early in the season. Staff helpful and pace of play was just fine.

First round of the season. Staff was very nice. Course was a little wet with the recent rains. I could see how this might be a slow place to play on a weekend with decent weather. We will be back to try this course again.

Greens were terrible with punches and sand, needed a driver to putt. 32 dollars was 20 too much. Difficult place to get to from the city.

Decent challenge and great transition from open front to tree lined back.
