Countryside Golf Club (Prairie)

Countryside Golf Club (Prairie) is one of the most-played courses in Illinois on Hole19, and it's easy to see why golfers keep coming back to this 18-hole layout. The Prairie course rewards those who keep the ball in play. Wide, well-manicured fairways invite aggressive tee shots, and the relatively flat terrain with sparse trees leaves little room for excuses. The real test comes from the acres of tall prairie grasses lining many holes — a wayward drive can quickly turn a straightforward round into a recovery mission. Once in the fairway, golfers face expansive, undulating greens that accept a range of approaches — whether a towering wedge or a low, running fairway wood. The layout is open and honest, with few hidden surprises. It challenges better players while remaining enjoyable for all skill levels.
