About Prairie Dunes Country Club
Maxwell's routing through the sand hills feels inevitable, as if the holes were always meant to exist in these natural corridors between dunes. The design rewards bump-and-run shots and punishes aerial attacks, creating a distinctly American interpretation of links golf principles. Prairie Dunes surprises with its visual drama and shot variety—Maxwell used the rolling terrain to create holes that feel both intimate and expansive, with approaches that demand precise distance control.
