Prairie Landing Golf Club has received acclaim ever since first opening in 1995, including a four-and-a-half-star rating from Golf Digest. This West Chicago course will make you feel as though you've been transported to a seaside links course in Ireland. The prairie-style layout closely follows the tradition of classic links golf courses. Robert Trent Jones II designed the course, fully utilizing the rolling terrain. He incorporated large, undulating greens and rolling bent grass fairways. Vast swaths of native grasses stretch along the fairways and strategically placed bunkers frame the greens. There is also contoured mounding to contend with. The golf course finishes with a memorable par 5 that features fairway bunkers on the left followed by a carry over a lake to a well protected, high bowled green. Prairie Landing also boasts a practice facility that includes a driving range with target greens, four practice holes, and a nine-hole chipping and short-game area.

Hiking boots

Prairie landing is a great course to play. The windy conditions made it a harder to play. It’s in good condition for the end of March. Having to play cart path only added to it’s difficulty's
I will definitely come back to play under better conditions. Good luck

Lightning Greens

Prairie Landing is a great course to play as long as it’s not cart path only. Then you will die lol figuratively. Some very challenging holes with a great layout. Beware the greens are lightning quick. Enjoy

Great Course

Great course for value on golf now. Course conditions were great. Some holes slowed pace of play due to difficulty in crowds ahead of my foursome but overall great experience.
