Prairie Isle is a Chicagoland favorite. It possesses an interesting layout, and has a variety of holes - uphill, downhill, and doglegs both left and right. It is also a visually appealing course. The strength of the course are holes 10-13, where you will think you are in another part of the country. These hole have a lot of elevation changes, and are very wooded. It is an interesting round of golf. A unique course.

My son and I played this course in early October. It was an amazing experience. The staff was attentive and welcoming. The highlight was easily the course. It is a "Bucket-List" golf experience. Every hole plays alongside the sea, and the course navigates over and around, dunes, valleys, and even ancient stone walls. Holes 12-18 are the best stretch of holes I have ever played. From "the Pit" and "Perfection", to the bisected 16th green, and finally ending on no 18, which is eerily similar to the Old Course, each hole was a delight. We played in overcast conditions with temps in the upper 50s.

While in East Lothian to play the more noted courses like Gullane and N. Berwick, we played an "extra" round at the Glen. What a treat! The course itself is a good course - not particularly tough, or even very linksy. You cannot beat the views that you get on this course. Holes 9 and 12 play into the background of Bass Rock, while 13 is simply stunning. The view from the 18 tee is stunning as well. It is just a memorable round of golf. Not too tough, but a few world-class holes and views.
