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.

The Woods

We are local and it’s our favorite course
It’s not long, but a great challenge.
8-9 are (2) great back to back challenges and 16 is one of my favorite holes to play anywhere!

Great affordable course

Very well maintained course. Challenging with plenty of hazards and bunkers. Every round of golf comes with range balls. One of my favorite local courses.

Great course. Always fun to play there. But the new check-in staff could use an attitude overhaul. VERY unfriendly, almost to the point of being hostile.

Only recommend if you had lots of time to play. Been here before and it seems to be slow every time, not sure I’m going back.
