Golf Digest's Architecture Editor Emeritus, Ron Whitten, narrates this spectacular hole by hole drone tour of Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas.
"and his design partner".... You can just say Bill Coore. Most of those who are big enough golf nerds to watch this know who the guy is. Minor criticism aside, great video as per usual. Keep em coming.
I was laughing at that too, this playlist has a fair number of Coore and Crenshaw courses as it is and talks about them ad nauseam; only to just leave Bill out like that for this one for no reason.
I've been lucky enough to play golf here on two different occasions. The sandy turf, rolling nature of the property and open vistas make Prairie Dunes a very special place.
Prairie Dunes looks like a magnificent course. I’d love to see this course host a large event. I think either a U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Women’s Amateur, or U.S. Amateur would be a perfect event for this course.
It’s actually surprisingly cheap. Membership isn’t full. And it’s easy to get on. Looks great in photos and videos, but it’s not a well manicured style course, which seems to turn a lot of golfers off. It’s pretty rough, tbh.
