About Prairies Golf Club
Prairies Golf Club is an 18-hole course on the west side of Kalamazoo, Michigan, with a history in the area dating back to 1912.
The layout is designed to suit a wide range of abilities, offering challenge for experienced players while remaining playable for beginners. Mature maple and oak trees line the fairways, which are framed by thick prairie-grass rough. The terrain is hilly, producing uneven lies and demanding approach shots.
A clubhouse serves golfers on site.
