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. In addition to our world-renowned championship golf course, our club offers the full-service amenities of a traditional country club. Multiple dining outlets, indoor and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, an indoor fitness center, outdoor pool, a vibrant social calendar and lodging accommodations are the amenities our members enjoy at a world-class level. We have multiple membership categories tailored to members interest levels.
The center of the United States might be the last place one would expect to find a links-style course with rolling hills reminiscent of the seaside courses in Scotland, but that's just part of what makes Prairie Dunes a Kansas treasure and unique opportunity for golfers worldwide.
