Prairie Isle Golf Club

Beautiful course, nice elevation changes, pace was great for a Sunday morning. Course in great shape, greens rolled true. A little pricey for my taste, but once in a while you have to pay a little more to play a nice course. Cant wait to come back!

The weather was hot but I had fun.
Staffs are kind. I was be
able to start earlier than my tee time.

This is the first time playing Prairie Isle and it was in fantastic shape. For what I spent on a round for me and my son I cannot think of any course that would be better. Not your typical flat Mid West course. Elevation, and direction changes are throughout the layout. Reminded me of older East Coast courses.

My only complaint is the pace was slow, and the starter did not get the log jam cleared up. It took us over 5 hours to play the 18 holes. We played about 4 holes before catching the group in front of us and we waited on every hole after that. The 2 groups ahead of them were the problem. When we came around to Hole 10 the group in front of us was waiting to tee off. As we were waiting to tee off the group behind us drove up and at that point there were 4 groups on #10. The group 2 in front of us was just getting to the green. It made for a very long back nine.

I would for sure give it another shot because of the layout and condition, but if the slow play is allowed as it was on Sunday I would look to other venues. Nothing worse than standing around on every shot.

The course was in excellent condition, and to all the staff GREAT JOB. I would have no problem in recommending this course to any, and all. Thank you

This course has a nice vibe to it and I'd like to play it again sometime. In very good shape and some of the best fairways I've played on all season. Greens were a tad slower than other venues. Holes 11 thru 13 are gems....really well designed holes. I would strongly suggest that you avoid this course on Tuesdays mid-day because there was a group of guys (about 15 to 20 with some that had no business playing the tips) that apparently tee off between 11am and noon and play 5 somes/6 somes and trod around like molasses. They don't care about the folks behind them and the last foursome that teed off of this group as I approached the 1st tee actually warned me that they play slow. A 5 hour round is ridiculous. Got a hot deal....I'd pay $30 and no more to play this place....folks in the clubhouse were very nice....the clubhouse was called by one of the folks in my group who plays there a lot due to the extremely slow play but never saw a ranger. Since no one cares about pace of play my recommendation is limited to playing this track only when there's an empty tee sheet and never again on a Tuesday early afternoon for me. A shame because it was fun play.

Love this off the beaten path course. Beautiful rolling hills and trees and very sporty. Clubhouse could use some more food choices. Nothing available early for breakfast like rolls or breakfast sandwich, etc. Had to wait for outdoor grilling or dogs, brats and chicken. Good beverage cart service and frequent. Greens in great condition as was most of the course.

Older course that is maintained well. Narrow tree lined fairways make the course a challenge. Very friendly staff.

It is clear the new management really haven't changed the poor attitude at prarie Isle!
The pace of play is now solidly accepted at 5-6 hours per round, very frustrating and when brought up to the ranger the reply was nothing we can d about it.
The course layout I like, the greens were actually in poor condition, but the overall value for the experience is not very good, coupled with the overall we really don't care if you play here or not attitude in clubhouse - this attitude is experienced on check in...
Been playing it for over five years, several times a month, but I just can't give them my money anymore, it is far to frustrating to play a round with 1-2 groups backed up on 14 of 18 holes.
Prarie Isle really charges a lot when compared to better courses in the area and does not supply a "welcoming, please come again" experience - try somewhere else, your value will be better.

From the moment I got to the course you could tell it was a good experience.staff was friendly, course was in great shape. True test of golf. Will be back for sure

Course is in great condition offers a challenge to the the average golfer

Great par 3's, great par 5's, bent grass tee to green, course is very fair. Par 4's 12 and 13 are spectacular.

very nice challenging course in excellent condition, elevated tees, nice views great course and Tyler has the place running beautifully!!! can't wait to be back thanks guys for a great round!

Conditions were very good,
Greens were true and fast.

nice course to play with some raised tees and some raised greens quite hilly on some holes which makes it fun to play! very well landscaped makes it a pleasure to play.

The course was in good condition and well presented. A number of 'water holes' were really attractive and all greens were true and fast with just the odd bump due to un-repaired pitch marks. On the back nine, there were 2 really tough hilly holes through the undulating woods and narrow fairways - a true test of golf. Very enjoyable day all round.

Prairie Isle provides a great round of challenging golf. From the white tees Prairie Isle covers 6255 yards for 18 holes and feels like it plays long pars at almost all par 4 and 5 holes. Many of the par 3's are island greens or have water to get around and many of the holes have water. Prairie Isle offers a very nice balance of 3, 4, and 5 par holes. The course offers a variety of settings to not only challenge you, but provide for a diverse golf experience. This is a well maintained and very scenic course that gives a secluded feel with very few houses and roads once you start play.

Challenging but not overwhelming. I hope I play better next time. Love the layout.

The Good: Very well-conditioned parkland layout in northwest suburbs of Chicago, Prairie Isle is all golf and no hassle. Strong layout is relatively benign on the front and meanders through woods and hills on the closing nine. Great Par 5's, some strong dogleg Par 4's, and interesting Par 3's. Nice fairways and large, smooth greens. Nice putting green. GPS on carts. Good value at around $70 during peak season, but even better specials during off-season and twilight.

The Bad: Limited clubhouse amenities as there is no banquet or large restaurant area, and no on-course restrooms. Poor signage on the golf course. Poor driving range only has a few stations to hit into a net. Staff is friendly enough but no on-course service and pace of play can become a challenge during peak season.

The Verdict: Prairie Isle is a fun, sporty layout that won't break the bank. Classic target golf with few houses impacting the experience. Don't expect luxury, but expect to have fun!

Best Hole: The closing Par 5 is a whale of an uphill hill that bends around a large oak.

I love the trees & hills on Prairie Isle GC! It's quite challenging a course for me and my son. We picked a perfect day to play and I love coming back here. We joined a couple of older players on the back nine and this made it all the more enjoyable as they were kind and quite charming. Overall a great day @ Prairie Isle!

Having always enjoyed playing this nice layout, we were very pleased to find the course in the best condition we'd ever seen. The greens were a little too firm but putted true. Course maintenance crew should be highly commended for excellent job of providing Private Course type experience and a visually appealing vista.
