PrairieView Golf Club: Scenery, meticulous conditioning and value come together in Byron, Ill.

BYRON, Ill. -- PrairieView Golf Club has a beautiful location that overlooks the Rock River. Since opening in 1992, the course has received several accolades including a four-star rating from Golf Digest and in 2014, GolfAdvisor ranked the course no. 2 overall in their list of the Top 25 Best Value Golf Courses in the U.S.

Owned and operated by the Byron Forest Preserve District, the golf course is part of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.
