Great Course

The course has everything a golfer would want- fairways are lush, ball sets up perfectly and green are fast but fair.

Great wet course

Played here on a very wet Monday morning, walked the front 9, rode the back 9. It's a fairly easy course, pretty open, with great greens.

Always Fun

I have played this course pretty regularly over the past few years and I've enjoyed it every time. The greens are perfect - the best in the area - and make the course worth playing. We recently played from the tips for a tournament and it was like playing a different track altogether but in a good way. It has some very difficult holes but the driver is never taken out of your hands.

My only criticism of the Prairie Links is the personnel in the clubhouse. The guys who work regularly do not seem to enjoy being there at all. If they would hire someone who had personality and acted like they work at a golf course this place would be killing it. The reason I quit my membership to a country club was because of the atmosphere and this feels like a place that would prefer to be a country club.

Great course

Probably the best course I have played in Iowa. Course was in great shape and well set up. I loved the gps feature in the golf carts considering my gps watch was not charged that day. Will definitely be back even though it is a little bit of a drive to get there.

Great Outing

We play this course once or twice a year since it is 140 miles round trip. The course was again in beautiful shape, greens fast and true. Club house staff very nice and helpful, set up the carts for two of our group that need handicap flags to allow saving steps. Recommend this course to all level of golfers to be challenging. We will be back, well worth the trip.

Worth the drive

The weather looked good so we looked for a place to play one more time before it snows. It was worth the drive from lacrosse. Modern facilities and very friendly staff. Looking forward to playing next summer.

Great Links Layout

Prairie Links is a very well maintained and manicured golf course. It's fun to play with some easy shorter par 4s and a few difficult ones. The greens are perfect. Highly 'recommend playing here.
