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.

Need Tee between White and White/Green
Need another tee between White and White/Green. The total distance difference is over 600 yards.
Nice Course, Mediocre Staff
Very nice, well maintained course. Unfortunately, we played the day after rain, so cart path only and wet bunkers. Staff was not very helpful; didn’t know about cart path rule before teeing off, no info on pin positions, where to get cart, etc. No beverage cart. I would expect better given the quality of the course, holiday weekend and the green fees charged. That said, I would definitely play again.
Overall in great shape, but wet sand traps
This course is in great shape. The fairways and soft and the grass is uniform. The greens are true. I found the greens to be pretty level without many putts that moved. The biggest challenge is the sand traps. They are everywhere and strategically placed to be very challenging. My only criticism is that the traps were pretty wet, with some of them even having water in them. The sand is hard packed and not at all fluffy. The grass in the rough is pretty thick in places so its easy to lose a ball in it if you miss the fairway.
Beautiful course
I have nothing but positives, great course, with only one negative…gotta get some new range balls. Those things are 100 years old. If you’re gonna charge as much as you do, gotta have range balls that are a year or two old.
Good experience
The course was in good shape and it’s a good layout. I have two issues which prevented me from giving 5 stars. The first is they have a cart availability issue. You literally had to wait until your tee time when a group finishing on 18 gave you their cart. As an example this caused a problem later because the containers with sand to fill divots were completely empty due to a lack of time to refill them. I was told by my playing partner this has been an ongoing issue for the past couple of years. Second, they have nicely contoured traps but are in need of more sand. You shouldn’t be hitting out of a thin layer of sand (borderline dirt) in a green side bunker. This is a great course layout but for the money those are two issues that should be fixed.
Excellent Condition
One of Indiana's top a little tracks nice variety of golf holes. Pro shop staff could have been more friendly
