Prairie Landing Golf Club

Prairie Landing is a unique, high quality Chicago suburb public golf experience located just south of the DuPage Airport off of Kautz Road in West Chicago.

The prairie links style golf course is modeled after seaside links style golf courses found in Ireland. It opened in 1994 and was designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones II. Prairie Landing Golf Club features meticulously conditioned rolling bent grass fairways, large undulated greens, massive sweeps of native grasses and numerous strategically placed grass mounds and sand bunkers. Prairie Landing offers a creative schedule of professionally administered in-house golf tournaments throughout the golf season that are available to the public.

Golf Digest named Prairie Landing one of the top ten new public courses in 1995 and since then Prairie Landing has been rated 4 1/2 Star by Golf Digest "Best Places to Play". In 2009 Zagat's America's Top Golf Courses 6th Edition rated the Prairie Landing Golf Course "Extraordinary"

The historic McChesney Clubhouse compliments the golf course. It is located in a wonderfully secluded picturesque setting and boasts a full service pro shop, dinning room, scenic banquet room(s), spacious men's and women's locker rooms, WiFi Internet access and High Def TV's. Friday night fish fry, Memorial Day weekend Friday lobster boil and Wednesday prime rib night are among the Grill Room's special event offerings.

Prairie Landing's practice center is the best in Chicagoland. The bent grass driving range features numerous realistic target greens, stretching apparatus and automatic ball dispensing machine. The practice facility also is home to two regulation par four practice holes, two practice putting greens and a 9-hole chipping/short game area. The Combined Training Course Scorecard guides you through a measurable practice routine. Golf Instruction programs are headed by Brian King, Prairie Landing's PGA teaching professional.

Prairie Landing's impeccable reputation is derived from consistently premier course conditions and customer service. A desire to be the best is exhibited in GPS enabled golf carts fully equipped with full-color yardage computers that adds modern technology to the age old game and keeps pace of play moving better than any other course of this caliber. You can even keep score on the system and allow the pro shop to set up a private electronic live-leader board tournament for your individual group complete with post round results recap.

In June of 2002, Prairie Landing received the honorable distinction as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary". Prairie Landing was the 383rd golf course in the world and the 18th golf course in Illinois to receive this certification. "We work in harmony with nature and the environment. Our goal besides being a world class golf facility is to be a habitat for nature and operate with environmentally sound practices."
