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.

Prairie Dunes was founded by salt tycoon Emerson Carey Jr (1906-1983), who continued on from his father in supporting the development of the city of Hutchinson and the Carey salt business. Hutchinson is home to several salt mines, earning the city the nickname "Salt City".
Kansas' No.1 course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA's 23rd best course (Golf Digest, 2023).
World's 26th best course (GOLF Magazine, 2023/24).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
