Well, here are the photos from the second course at the Prairie Club, the Dunes Course. This track is very different from the Pines as it is set on a totally different part of this property. It begins away from the clubhouse, starting after almost a mile drive to the first tee. We heard two estimates on the length of the total walk, 9 and 11 miles in all. On the day we played, the course was pretty wet and it was walking only. This is an athletic walk. 36 walking at the Prairie Club in one day would be quite a workout!!
The Dunes, as I mentioned in my post on the Pines Course, may well be the widest course I've ever seen. It is also extremely long with the back tees coming in at 7,583, the next set at 7,355, and the third at 6,838. There are even tees behind the tips, so technology isn't getting the Dunes anytime soon. This course is not quite as grown in as the PInes, but still very playable.
Pics follow. Enjoy!
