Golf Digest Gives a Local Course Some Love

This month Golf Digest ranked our own Prairie Dunes Country Club as the 25th best golf course in the country. This is ahead of such storied golf courses such as Pinehurst Number 2.

Folks from all over the world travel to Hutchinson to play this course. It is a celebrated gem in American golf, renowned for its unique blend of natural beauty and strategic design. Crafted by the legendary architect Perry Maxwell in 1937, with an additional nine holes added by his son, Press Maxwell, in 1957, the course seamlessly integrates rolling sand dunes and native prairie grasses, creating an inland links experience reminiscent of Scotland's seaside courses . The course's hallmark features include its undulating fairways and the famously contoured greens known as "Maxwell’s Rolls," offering both challenge and charm to golfers of all skill levels . Consistently ranked among the top golf courses nationally and internationally, Prairie Dunes has hosted prestigious tournaments such as the U.S. Women's Open and the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship . Beyond the course, Prairie Dunes offers a welcoming atmosphere with top-tier amenities, including multiple dining options, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, and a vibrant social calendar, making it a cherished destination for both local and visiting members.
