Est. 1995 · Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Why we love this place
We love how Prairie Landing breaks from the parkland norm, wide, windy, and links-flavored, with fescue swaying and the ground game back in play. Robert Trent Jones Jr. gave it real character, and the wind keeps every round honest. It's a refreshing test that rewards creativity over brute force.

About Prairie Landing Golf Club
Prairie Landing Golf Club opened in 1995 as a prairie-links layout designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., set on land owned by the neighboring DuPage Airport in West Chicago. True to its name, the par-72 course rolls across open, windswept ground with native fescues, tall prairie grasses, water hazards, and pot bunkers that reward strategic, ground-game golf reminiscent of British links. With few trees to block the breeze, wind becomes a constant fourth dimension, and the layout offers multiple tee sets to suit every level. A well-regarded practice facility and learning center round out the property. Publicly accessible and consistently praised for its conditioning and character, Prairie Landing gives Chicago-area players a distinctly links-style change of pace from the region's typical parkland tracks.
