Prairie Woods Golf Course tumbles across some of Wisconsin's most rolling terrain. On almost any point on the course, whether you're standing on the tees, the fairways, or the greens, the undulating landscape will put your skills of perception to the test. The golf course offers plenty of variety with a unique design on each hole. The rolling hills determined the strategic placement of the bunkers and there are water hazards coming into play on several holes. It's a layout that will keep you on your toes and reward a well thought-out shot, but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers. The golf course is just over 6,000 yards from the back tees but the changes in elevation can make it feel longer. Besides being one of the most unique rounds in the area, Prairie Woods G.C. is also one of the most affordable.

Loved the challenge

This is a well kept course in the rolling wooded location among corn fields. We started on #10 the back nine felt easy and smooth. kinda forgiving fairways' with minimal hazards. The front nine had longer fairways and more water to deal with.
I loved the course layout and pace of play.

It was only the last three hole's that I felt pressure from who I understood was a men's league player. Kept playing up on me, shadowing as I call it.

Great play for any golfer. Challenge yourself and play this great hidden gem in the cornfields. Driving range and putting/practice greens onsite.

Good course, but not for you if you love beer

I understand course etiquette, but 99% of golfers bring a cooler with them when they golf. We were told to return our cooler to our car on the turn. That’s fine, but if you’re going to do that, there better be two cart girls hustling their butt off because I get thirsty and most certainly finish beers quicker than 45 mins which is when we would see the cart girls.

Great day for golf

It was a great day weather was outstanding with a mild breeze. The course was under a bit of maintenance on sum holes but didn't impact play and there crew was very polite. Definitely going to try and make it back this season.

Sand bunkers

Some of the sand bunkers were like mud and some had lots of weeds in them.

Over-all the course looks beautiful and as always is a fun and challenging time.

Enjoyable round

Nice local course. It was in good shape and offered a nice variety of holes with some in woods and others in the prairie, as the name indicates.

Hidden Gem!!

We were traveling fron North Carolina to Minnesota and needed to stretch our legs. I checked out the Golf Now App and found this place. The course was as nice if not nicer than some we have played in SC. Keep up the good work and next time we are passing through you can bet we will stop.

A favorite

By far my favorite local course. Not very long, but lots of tricky holes where you have choices to make. Nice layout, well maintained, and nice people. They use "dynamic" pricing, so you can usually get a bargain if you wait or use an online tee time service.
