Shankster Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Has anyone played this masterpiece? From the pictures it looks absolutely stunning. Might have to plan a trip to play here. https://theprairieclub.com - A.S. Sent from #nothingfeelslikeamizuno dreamland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 That can't be Nebraska!! What are those mounds doing there? I drove ALL the way across Nebraska, west to east. It's flat; all downhill that direction, but from where I come from... it's flat. Looks like a great course though. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfriday101 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The club is a great golf destination. The Dunes Course is terrific. The Pines course is good also, just not as exciting as the Dunes Course. It also has a par three course. The hotel is very nice with a wide selection of room types. There isn't much to do there except play golf, eat and drink. And then maybe drink some more. One 18 is closed to non-members each day, so if you want to play both courses, you need to stay overnight. It is possible to stay only one night and play both courses. But the hotel is so much fun, I'd recommend staying longer. Sand Hills is about an hour south if you haven't made the pilgrimage to Mullen, Ne.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Interstate is 75mph unfortunately. But I travel on the interstate close to 85mph. To get to the Prairie Club it will be a lot of driving on highways that are 60-65 mph. The drive is enjoyable though.

Tbadfly Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've played there, years ago. I believe they only had one course at the time. Amazing track. When I was there no houses no people it was just me and my friend playing a great course. It really gave me a sense of amazement as we played it. Beautiful. I can't find the yardage book I bought for it but I remember each hole had a name and a story. I remember one being named "Rattlesnake" long par 5 but was reachable as it rolled like crazy. Also a par 3 that was straight down a hill that was a ton of fun to look at and play. All of the bunkers at the time were natural sand blowouts, course was designed great.

PokeForeLyfe Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 For me personally it's about the best overall golf facility I have been to. The two courses are both amazing with the dunes maybe being championship quality. Plan to stay at least two days so you get to experience both courses. The hotel, lodges and dining is out of this world. To be honest, as much as I enjoyed the big courses, the most fun was had toting a six pack, three wedges and a putter around the horse course with friends and playing games. The greens are crazy and you can play into greens from all over the place. It's an experience any serious golfer should try to take advantage of.
