Prairie West Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Prairie West to avoid the wind?

You'll find the early mornings are your best bet to beat the wind at Prairie West. The prairie breezes really pick up by midday, making some holes a completely different beast. We recommend an early tee time for the most enjoyable and manageable round.

What's the signature challenge at Prairie West?

The biggest challenge here is definitely the wide-open spaces combined with strategic bunkering. Don't let the lack of trees fool you; the course demands precision off the tee to avoid those deep, natural bunkers that seem to swallow errant shots. You'll need to think your way around this course.

Is Prairie West a good value for the green fees?

Absolutely, we think Prairie West offers excellent value for your money. For a course of this caliber, providing such a unique prairie links experience, the green fees are very reasonable. You're getting a well-maintained track with a genuine feel for the landscape without breaking the bank.

What's one hole I absolutely need to pay attention to at Prairie West?

Keep a close eye on the par-3 14th hole. It often plays directly into the prevailing wind, making club selection incredibly tricky over a natural wetland area. It's a beautiful hole, but it can easily ruin a good scorecard if you're not careful with your shot.

Should I walk or take a cart at Prairie West?

While the course itself is relatively flat, the distances between some greens and tees can be a bit of a hike, especially if it's windy. We suggest taking a cart unless you're a very fit walker and want the extra challenge. You'll conserve energy for your swing and enjoy the round more.
