Prairie Woods Golf Course

Prairie Woods Golf Course opened in Avalon, Wisconsin, a small community in Rock County in the south-central part of the state. The course was designed by Mattingly Kuehn Golf Design, a firm based in the upper Midwest that has worked on several public and daily-fee layouts across Wisconsin and neighboring states. The design reflects the firm's approach to creating accessible golf that works with regional terrain and budget considerations typical of municipal and public facilities. The routing at Prairie Woods takes advantage of the gently rolling agricultural landscape common to this part of Wisconsin, where former farmland transitions into recreational use. The property likely features a mix of open corridors and wooded areas—hence the name—with mature trees framing holes and providing definition along fairways. Courses in this region typically incorporate natural drainage patterns and modest elevation changes that add strategic interest without requiring dramatic earthmoving. As a public facility in a smaller Wisconsin community, Prairie Woods serves local golfers and visitors exploring the area between Madison and the Illinois border. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of skill levels, emphasizing playability and maintenance standards appropriate to its market. Rock County's golf scene includes several daily-fee options, and Prairie Woods fits within that network as a neighborhood course offering convenient access to the game in a rural setting.
