HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Prairie Dunes Country Club continues to draw high praise from across the country, as the course was named one of the top 100 by the Golf Digest on Tuesday.
Prairie Dunes came in at No. 23, two spots higher than the course was ranked in 2022.
According to the voters, "Prairie Dunes was the top nine-hole course in America for 20 years. By the time the club found funds to expand it to 18, original architect Perry Maxwell had passed away, but his son Press was able to add nine more holes seamlessly in the 1950s, putting three on the front nine and six on the back. He also replicated his father’s great greens, which seem to break in three different directions. Prairie Dunes reflects all that is common in rural Kansas: sand dunes, prairie grasses, yucca plants, cottonwoods and constant wind."
The course has been ranked the No. 1 golf course in the state since 1985, and has been in the top 5 every year since 1977.
The GolfDigest crew ranks Prairie Dunes 4.8 stars out of 5 total possible.
Prairie Dunes most recently hosted the Big 12 Men's Golf Championship April 24-26.
