PRAIRIE VISTA GOLF COURSE

The wide-open prairie terrain deceives you into thinking this is target golf made easy, but persistent winds and strategically placed wetlands turn seemingly straightforward approaches into exercises in club selection mastery. The front nine plays firm and fast across rolling farmland, while the back nine's water hazards come into play on six holes, demanding precision over power. You'll leave impressed by how architect Rick Jacobson maximized every acre of central Illinois prairie to create legitimate championship conditioning at public-friendly rates.
