The Prairie Club-Pines Course

The Prairie Club's Pines Course beckons discerning golfers with a challenge as breathtaking as the scenery. Carved from the rolling hills and dotted with towering Ponderosa pines, this award-winning course, designed by golf course architect Graham Marsh, offers a par-73 layout stretching over 5,345 yards from the front tees and a demanding 7,403 yards from the back tees. Whether you're a seasoned golfer seeking a strategic test or a casual player yearning for a scenic round, The Pines Course at The Prairie Club promises an unforgettable golfing experience unlike any other.

Step onto the first tee and be greeted by a panorama of the Sandhills unlike any other. The course unfolds along a series of natural corridors, with meticulously manicured fairways winding through native grasses and strategically placed bunkers. The natural beauty of the Sandhills isn't just a backdrop; it's an integral part of the playing experience. Several holes hug the edge of dramatic canyons while towering pines frame picturesque fairways. The diverse layout features 18 holes that will test every aspect of your golfing repertoire. Precise tee shots are rewarded on forgiving fairways in the valleys while challenging elevation changes and well-placed bunkers on the hillside holes demand strategic thinking and shot-making finesse. The course's signature hole, the par-3 17th, is a true test of nerve. Nicknamed "Calamity Jane," this beauty requires a daring tee shot over a canyon chasm to a well-guarded green, offering a risk-reward scenario that will leave a lasting impression.

The knowledgeable staff is always happy to offer expert advice on club selection, and swing tips, or answer any questions you may have. After conquering the course, relax and savor a delectable meal featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients at the clubhouse restaurant, all while basking in the breathtaking vistas of the Sandhills.

The Prairie Club isn't just about the game itself; it's a place to connect with the natural beauty and rich history of the region. The Sandhills themselves are a geological wonder, formed by ancient glaciers millions of years ago. The course is a designated Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship. Throughout the year, The Prairie Club hosts events that celebrate the surrounding landscape, such as educational talks by local naturalists and guided hikes through the awe-inspiring Sandhills.
