Interesting golf course and playable

The course has some different holes you won’t find too many places like, blind shots uphill or downhill, large elevation changes mixed in with nice driving holes. In addition there are numerous holes where placement of your drive is very important. Makes for a very interesting 18 holes

Great hidden gem

Second time playing Prairie Isle. Course was in great shape, greens were fantastic. Some tough holes where you need to choose the right club off the tee and accuracy needed. Loved it, will be back

Fantastic staff

Staff is fantastic. Would love to go back and play again. If you’re thinking about walking I would recommend against it, a lot of the course has changing elevation so you're guaranteed to not keep a good pace of play.

1st time here

My son and I wanted to play around. Haven’t been over two years got together and played this course as it is close to my home. Neither one of us had ever been there. Really enjoyed the course piece of play could’ve been a little bit better.

Rude Starter

Played on a busy Saturday. Teed off on time and waited on shots first 3 holes. Pace was not bad for a public course on a Saturday morning.

2:15 for the front.

After a short restroom break on the turn we hit our drives. When we get to out shots stater comes out and says he's gonna let the group behind though cause they have been waiting on shots! What?

First he just allows them does not ask us to pick it up or anyting. Second he drove right buy us on 7th hole. Not a word. Third while we are on the back we see a 5 some on the front.

If your so concerned about slow play why are you allowing a 5 some?

In the end we still finished in 4:30 with a 15 minute wait for group behind us to play though on 10.

What a joke! We won't be back and we will tell everyone of our experince.

I was in the group that played through yours. You were a hole and a half behind the foursome in front of you. You left that part out of your review.
