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.

Fun track

First time out and glad we played with someone who’d been before for some tips off the tee. Driving range is off the mats.

Top 3 IL public course

This place can’t be beat in the West Burbs.
It’s only rivals in the IL public course scene are Mistwood and Glen Club.
It has the nicest practice facility I’ve ever seen, the layout is awesome and challenging.
It’s truly a gem and worth the money!

Windy weather
Walked

Played the day after thunderstorms and heavy rain. It was cold, windy, and wet... and the course was still great!

PACE: The conditions of the day kept everyone away We never had anyone in front of us.

CONDITIONS: Awful weather. Heavy rain the day/night before. The greens still ran fast. The bunkers were still playable. Fantastic!

Great Course

The course was in fantastic condition, even though it rained heavily the night before. Very windy and a little cold, but I wouldn't miss this place for that. Always a pleasure to play.
