Prairie Dunes
The private Prairie Dunes Country Club, located a few miles outside Hutchinson, Kansas, is home to a championship golf course that ranks with the USA's best. Here you will find a highly-regarded open, links-style layout, with an outstanding array of excellently crafted and challenging holes.
Expansively rolling across the open undulating terrain, an excellent mix of straightaway and doglegging holes lead you towards the stylishly bunker-defended greens. With no housing or busy roads around the course, the natural prairie feel of this revered layout shines through.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
