Blue | 511 |
Black | 475 |
Red | 465 |
A tight par 5 starts your round at Prairie Isle. Long hitters can go for the green after a good drive. Beware of the wetlands on the left side. Laid-up second shots should be aimed towards left, green- side bunkers. Placement, not distance, is the key. Hint: Hole is all uphill.

Blue | 344 |
Black | 339 |
Red | 323 |

Hole 3 Par 4 Handicap 9
Blue | 350 |
Black | 344 |
Red | 309 |

Hole 4 Par 4 Handicap 13
Blue | 349 |
Black | 332 |
Red | 269 |

Hole 5 Par 3 Handicap 17
Blue | 190 |
Black | 170 |
Red | 149 |
The redesigned fifth hole is a narrow par 3 over water with a large green, guarded by two sand traps on either side. The green is sharply sloped from back to front and will create putting problems if you’re not very careful. Make sure to use enough club off the tee.
Hole 6 Par 4 Handicap 7
Blue | 444 |
Black | 424 |
Red | 329 |
The hole is longer than it looks! From an elevated tee you must avoid the fairway bunkers. The long second shot will be with a fairway wood or iron to a flat, deep green.
Hole 7 Par 5 Handicap 1
Blue | 564 |
Black | 552 |
Red | 480 |
This is the number one handicap hole. Distance is a factor, but placement of your drive and second shot is the key to this hole. The large green is elevated and requires an accurate approach shot or the large, left, greenside trap will get your ball.
Hole 8 Par 3 Handicap 15
Blue | 160 |
Black | 134 |
Red | 114 |
Prairie Isle’s signature hole is a beautiful, down- hill par 3. The tripled tier tees present a tight shot to a green surrounded by water. A crisply hit iron is a must. Bring your straight shot and camera with you on this picturesque hole!
Hole 9 Par 4 Handicap 5
Blue | 440 |
Black | 422 |
Red | 360 |
Turning towards the club-house, the ninth is a long, uphill par 4, demanding a straight drive between two stands of trees. The second shot leaves a long iron or wood to a large, well-trapped green.
Hole 10 Par 5 Handicap 2
Blue | 518 |
Black | 500 |
Red | 475 |
A great par 5 starts the second nine. Guarded on the entire left side and back by wet-lands, and a small pond and trees on the right, accuracy is demanded off the tee. Long hitters can gamble to hit over water on the second shot and go for the green, but if you’re short, the ball will find the hazard. Layups on second shots leave a short, easy pitch to the green.
Hole 11 Par 4 Handicap 6
Blue | 408 |
Black | 386 |
Red | 320 |
Wetlands on the left, trees on the right and a dogleg uphill identifies the 11th hole. Start with a center cut drive and you’re left with a medium to long iron to Prairie Isle’s larg- est, 3-level green. Three- putting is easily scored here.
Hole 12 Par 4 Handicap 10
Blue | 374 |
Black | 360 |
Red | 325 |
The 12th hole is tight and tree-lined, with a rolling fairway that is severely sloped from right to left You must hit a long drive placed on the right side if you want to remain on the short grass. A good drive places you approximately 150 yards from a green that runs downhill, back to front. The 12th hole may be the prettiest hole on the course, but also one of the toughest!
Hole 13 Par 4 Handicap 8
Blue | 408 |
Black | 380 |
Red | 322 |
Unlucky 13th? Not if your drive off the elevated tee is long and in the fairway. Your second shot, using a medium iron, will look down at a large, steeply downhill green. Try to keep below the hole when hitting to this green.
Hole 14 Par 4 Handicap 14
Blue | 325 |
Black | 300 |
Red | 218 |
Short and tight! A slight fade is required off the tee, out of the chutes, to a narrow par 4. Well trapped, downhill, and tight, this is a real birdie hole if you’re in the fairway. Big hitters can try to drive the green!

Blue | 162 |

Hole 16 Par 4 Handicap 12
Blue | 374 |
Black | 362 |
Red | 307 |
Number 16 is a slight dogleg left. Offline drives can be OB left or locked in trees on the right. Big hitters must be aware of two ponds out 270 yards on right center. You’re left with a short second shot to a narrow, but deep green.
Hole 17 Par 3 Handicap 18
Blue | 175 |
Black | 140 |
Red | 86 |
