Prairie Dunes Country Club

Founded by Carey Salt tycoon Emerson Carey alongside his four sons, and with a course designed by Perry Maxwell, Prairie Dunes Country Club opened in 1937 with 9 original holes. Twenty years later in 1957, Press Maxwell continued his father's vision and completed the course, taking advantage of the natural flow of the sand dunes and allowing the native desert prairie grass to add another layer of difficulty at times. Prairie Dunes has since become a destination course for golfers worldwide. From hosting United States Golf Association tournaments, the NCAA Division 1 Men's Golf Championship, and having been consistently rated a top course in the US, North America, and worldwide, Prairie Dunes is a must-play course and membership is highly sought-after.
