About Prairie Ridge Golf Course

You won't find artificial water features or manufactured drama, just straightforward holes that let the elements and topography provide the challenge. The course represents solid value for money in a region where golf options are limited, and the fact that you can walk adds to its appeal for purists who appreciate the game's traditional pace. With a 4.1 Google rating from nearly 90 reviews, it's clearly found its audience among locals and travelers passing through Box Elder, though don't expect championship conditioning or elaborate amenities.
