Description: Prairie View has won accolades for “Best Course,” “Best Par 3,” “Most Beautiful” and other categories. As Indiana’s only course designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr. company, Prairie View opened to much acclaim in 1997. GOLF Magazine said, “Prairie View could exist comfortably in golf meccas such as Pinehurst and Hilton Head.” Golf Digest listed Prairie View in the top 10 best new upscale public courses in the U.S. Located on 206 acres along the White River, Prairie View blends 18 holes of traditional golf, a full-service clubhouse, pro shop, locker room, and driving range. Water features are a delight, with a clear running stream that meanders through four holes, natural wetlands, and five lakes. Ninety white-sand bunkers are strategically placed throughout the course. Pulling onto Longest Drive, golfers enjoy a winding road leading to Prairie View and its 1830s-era architecture clubhouse. A white picket fence, prairie grass, and wildflowers make the 15,000-square-foot facility a beauty to behold.
