About this course

Prairie Green Golf Course opened in Sioux Falls in 1998, designed by Dick Nugent, a Chicago-based architect known for work throughout the Midwest. The course occupies land on the city's northwest side and serves as a daily-fee facility for the Sioux Falls community and regional golfers. Nugent's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic options and playability across skill levels, and Prairie Green reflects this approach in a setting shaped by the rolling prairie topography characteristic of eastern South Dakota. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and native grasses that frame many holes, creating definition without heavy tree coverage. Water features come into play on several holes, and bunkers are positioned to reward accurate shot-making while allowing recovery options for less skilled players. The layout measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, providing length for competitive play, but multiple tee boxes accommodate a range of abilities. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a popular venue for local tournaments. Prairie Green operates as a public facility with a straightforward clubhouse offering standard amenities. The course conditions and maintenance reflect its role as a municipal-style operation serving a broad golfing population. Its location within Sioux Falls makes it accessible for both residents and visitors passing through the region, and it represents the kind of solid daily-fee option that Nugent designed throughout his career in the upper Midwest.
