- New Delicious Menus
- Hiring Seasonal Staff
- The Construction of 3 New 8 Room Cabins

In 2011 we want to make sure member communications are informative and interesting to you. We will be sending information about the club activities, policies and communications via email and traditional snail mail.

Also, as a member, you are welcome to share your ideas and recommend areas that you would like to hear more about.

Share The Pure Golf Experience
We are excited to announce new green fees for hosted and sponsored guests in 2011. To give members the optimum opportunity of sharing The Prairie Club experience, we have lowered both fees for guests who want to take advantage of our beautiful lodge, along with those who visit just for the golf. Last years rate of a hosted non-lodging guest was $165 while the new 2011 rate will be $110! This decision was made to encourage you to bring your friends and family, in hopes of inspiring them to become part of our special Club.
Become A Prairie Club Recruiter
As an extra incentive to our members, we are offering a $1000 credit towards 2012 dues to those instrumental in recruiting new members. Please contact Mandi at Mandi@theprairieclub.com for information and a membership packet to share with your friends and family.
It’s because of members like you we can offer the avid golfer the opportunity to experience world class golf and stand true to our mission: To create an unforgettable experience that touches the soul of all who journey here.

Making The Most of Our Caddie Scholarship Program
The Prairie Club courses were designed with the walker in mind. The social and physical benefits of walking with a caddie add to the pure golf experience, as well as supporting our Caddie Scholarship Program. This year we have lowered the caddie fee giving you the option to take advantage of walking the courses. The golf cart fee will be $20 per person this year and $5 from each cart fee will benefit our Caddie Scholarship Program.
