Prairie Trace Golf Course

Prairie Trace West is a challenging and fun course with trees everywhere. Problem is it’s not kept up very well. Tee boxes are uneven with weeds, fairways are in rough shape if you want to call em that, some of the greens are being overtaken by fungus and will be dead if they don’t do something about it, and bushes and shrubs that would normally be cut or removed are left to overgrow. For a MAJOM base, some of the amenities are disappointing and this is one of them. In my opinion, one of the worst kept DoD courses I’ve played on. Should cost 20 bucks with cart at most.

I took my 16 yr old Grandson to Prairie Trace golf course today to play the 9 hole course. He has been there several times with his father to play and was never charged as long as he walked. When I asked how much the unfriendly counter guy told me it was 50.00 for both of us (green fees of 15.00 and cart fee of 10.00) even though I specifically told him my grandson would be walking. Their policy is juniors are not required to pay up to and including 16yrs. old.when I questioned him about that he said they have to pay if they are 16. Then he also charged a cart fee. When I asked for a receipt he couldn’t find mine so he gave me one for 15.00, then said don’t worry about it because there wasn’t a starter on duty. The other issue I have is that a couple weeks ago we went to play, payed for 18 holes and just before playing hole 9, a Black Flag announcement was made which means you should not stay on course due to heat and humidity. So we left the course after 9.There was no refund or concessions made for the holes not played. There is virtually no customer service or anyone that cares about customers at that course. I will not be back to play again and will not recommend it to anyone!

For a beginner golf player like myself, it is a good and challenging 9 hole golf course, separate from the 18-hole course. You do need a military ID in order to get on to the WPAF base or go with someone who does.
