Prairie Landing
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Wow
The best part about this course is how good I looked playing on it. Wow. I’m sexy.
top tier public course in chicago area
great course, great practice facility, great clubhouse / bar area. this is one of the best open-to-the-public options around. it's on par with, or better than many of the private options.
great course
great day only negative was why were the carts only allowed on average 6o years from greens. didnt make sense.
great staff
Prairie Landing was excellent, as always.
The course in excellent condition, and even held up after 20 minutes of drenching rain.
Fantastic course and great facility!
Amazing beautiful track, power trip rude clown show rangers
The course was in immaculate condition. The rangers ruined our entire round. So much so that after I questioned his take on us being "extraordinarily off pace" with the twosome directly in front of us, he refused to acknowledge me, I told him we waited 7 minutes at the box for the green to clear, he then decided to chime in, you should do less talking and more golfing. Then he proceeded to park in the middle of the fairway and trail us the entire round. We notified the cart girls to tell management, they informed us that they did, they were very cordial. This ranger is a total clown, and I will not return and will give recommendations for others to do the same. Pretty unfortunate for the best links track in Chicagoland hands down.
Address staff attitude
While the course was beautiful and fun to play the course staff (all around) could use a little work with attitude, friendliness, etc. Had a horrible experience with the starters as well as the pro shop who decided it was within reason to YELL at us for laughing while in the pro shop. If you can’t handle processing a transaction with minimal noise in the background then find a different position. The course staff acts very pompous and arrogant - almost as if they are better than everyone. Work on that!
Challenging course
The course is nice but for the money I was expecting better greens and course
Great course, hidden gem
Course is very nice, fun and challenging layout. Bit pricey compared to nearby options. Pace of play was average. Pro shop is top notch, amenities are fantastic.
awesome
This is one of my Favorites and it was it great shape eventhough we have drought conditions. Greens and fairways were soft and green, and the greens were true and scorable. Great job guys see ya soon!!
Top notch
Well manicured course, friendly staff and steady pace of play all contribute to a strong experience at Prairie Landings. A challenging layout with a variety of holes on this Robert Trent Jones course all enhanced the experience.
