Prairie View Golf Club
About
Prairie View Golf Club is a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design – the only one in the state of Indiana. Laid out across 206 acres along the banks of the White River, the course is characterized by rolling prairie land interspersed with stands of oaks and sycamores. In addition to the course’s more than 80 bunkers, five lakes, a stream and natural wetlands provide diverse challenges to golfers playing any of the course’s five sets of tees.

Nicest course in the area
Gorgeous place. Robert Trent Jones design does not disappoint. 2nd time out on this course and can’t wait to get back.
Expensive Course with Poor Conditions
Although the tees and fairways were in good shape, the greens were horrendous. The greens had recently been aerated and sanded. Slow as molasses and a game of Pachinko bouncing off small pebbles, burned out spots and plugs put in to try to remedy poor quality of greens.
Guys we were paired with said course only offers tee times when course is in poor shape. This was a premium rate and deserved premium conditions. Disappointed.
There was no beverage cart and one lady at bar at turn with line 6 deep. Just grabbed a glass of water and went on. Didn’t want to hold up play. At the end of the day, there were service people wiping off clubs for a tip. Should have deployed them in more needed service areas.
Pace of play was a little slow. Had to wait several times. Perhaps I should have turned around when the guy at the pro shop said it was busy.
Perfect Day
The weather was great! Course was in great condition! Staff friendly as always. I got to play with an assistant pro as there will be the IN PGA tournament beginning on 7/9. Incredible to see how easy a 73 looks...HA! Thank's Prairie View.
Enjoy!
Prairie View is one of the top golf destinations in the Indianapolis area. The course is in great shape, the greens are fast and immaculately cares for. Staff is friendly and it felt like the cart girl pasted us on every other hole. I will be back.
Always a Good Round
Prairie View is a challenging layout that does give some chance to score if you pick the right tees. But it's not a bombs away course as several holes involve dialing back and hitting to a target with less than a driver. The course is in good shape, though there were a few patchy spots here and there, such as on the 17th green. It also has some of the best practice facilities around, and having Big Lug in the clubhouse is great for a mid and post-round meal. Try the poutine!
Absolutely pristine!
This place is absolutely unreal. It was extremely busy but didn’t inhibit a great round on an unbelievable course/layout. Staff treats the general public as well as they do their members; friendly, accommodating, proactive. A must-play whether you live in town or are visiting/passing through.
WOW!
This was my first time at Prairie View even though I have lived in the area for 30 years. Why have I never played it before? I must be an idiot. It is one of ( if not the) best courses in Central Indiana. My first comment to my buddy was on the practice green. I said this looks like astroturf. It was perfect. I could go on and on about course, but words are limited. The staff was extremely kind, and there were rangers on the course. Two more words.....PLAY IT !
Prairie View continues to deliver
Great course, great facilities, great on-site team - all for a great price.
SLOW
Need Marshall, 5 hour round is unacceptable. Miserable day.
A gem in central Indiana!
What a course! Had heard about this place for years, but finally got out here and what a surprise. Even though it was raining for most of the round ... this course will not disappoint! Great mix of links/woods, and challenges (sand, water, trees) abound without interfering with the game. Still plenty of open space for some fun! One of the top courses in Indianapolis for sure! Will definitely return!
Retiree’s Special
Staff was friendly and efficient.
Service was exceptional. Course and weather conditions were excellent.
Can’t wait to come back!
A must play golf course
Nice golf course - one of the nicest one in the area, highly recommended. The staff are awesome too
Overrated...
This course, for some reason, is so highly rated. Pretty average course that charges too much because people pay it.
Play this course on a GolfNow “hot deal” if you can.
It’s a fun track with some challenging holes but it’s absolutely not a premier course.
Early in the season
It was just shy of a year since the last time. Great shape then and great shape on 4/27/18
Great Course
I got a great price on golfnow otherwise it's above my pay grade. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were fantastic! If you get a chance to play...don't hesitate to go!
