PrairieView Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Owned and operated by the Byron Forest Preserve District, Prairieview Golf Course sits on a scenic stretch of land that overlooks the Rock River. The layout will test different skills with plenty of variety, offering both open, links-style holes and tight, tree-lined holes. The design takes advantage of the rolling terrain, incorporating the varying elevations into the large and undulating greens. The breaks can make the greens hard to read and they're made even more challenging by more than 60 bunkers strategically places along the borders. There are also water hazards in the form of ponds and a meandering stream that come into play on five holes. In addition to the course, there is also a 15-acre practice facility with a driving range, two putting greens, and chipping and pitching greens with two bunkers.

Fun course, good staff
Course has a great layout. Played a bit narrow and short, but I think they pulled the two longer tee positions for end of season. Conditions were good for mid November other than cold and wind which is a given for IL. Greens ran quick and were a bit tricky to read, but overall in very good condition. Prices were very reasonable, partially thanks to Golf Now’s discounts, but even regular rate is reasonable for the value in the course. Bar staff was very friendly and accommodating. If I wasn’t so far from Rockford I’d definitely try to play this course again every year.

Played early October in the early morning. For the price and amenities, this is one of the best bargains in IL golf. Course is maintained really well, has gps carts. Only reason for a 4 star is the lack of a driving range for practice/warmup. There are 3 putting/chipping greens.
Great Course
Staff is great, pace was slow but everything else was great
Friday the 13th
This course is beautiful and that’s not giving it credit.
The first 9 were great, back 9 somehow ended up with a 2 some in front of us that doubled our pace of play. Lost any rhythm we had and just watched as they took 8 shots to get to the green on each hole. Very painful
Best course west of the Chicago
This course is amazing condition. I would compare the landscape and greens to Cantigny - it is worth every penny and the reply cost is extremely reasonable. I will be back. Worth the drive and time. Food was excellent as well.

We could enjoy very much this beautiful course with reasonable price. Thank you for Prairie View and Golf Now.
Great course
Course has an awesome design and maintained very well! The golf cart amenities are top notch!
Beyond Expectations
This place is amazing especially as it is available to the golfing public. A course of this quality is usually a country club.
Two places to relax before and after golf, elevation changes, adequate bunkers with limited forced carries add up to a great experience.
The short game practice area could not be better. Driving range is a bit limited.
Since it was our first time there we could have use some better guidance to the next hole.
