rairie Isle Golf Club,
a "Smoke-Free" facility, built through and around an
abandoned gravel pit in 1993, wastes none of the dramatic land shapes produced
by the mining operation that predated it.
t the same time, however, the course wanders over 135 acres that also include
mature woodlands, wetlands and meadows. There is a little bit of everything
here, and then some.

It is a thinker’s course, asking the player to
carefully weigh risk/reward and to recognize which side of the green or
fairway should be favored. |
It is a shot-maker’s course. When you need to
hit a draw, you’ve likely got a lie for a fade. |
The course is simply fun to play, as nearly every tee box is well elevated
giving the player a commanding view of the fairway or green below. |
It’s a good solid design, from beginning to end,
but two holes, the 12th and 13th, are clearly the most outstanding.
