The Golfer's Journal is pleased to invite you to
Prairie Dunes
April 28, 2025 | Hutchinson, KS
Hutchinson, Kansas sits almost directly in the geographic center of the continental United States. But if you’re fortunate enough to take in the view from the first tee at Prairie Dunes, you’ll swear you can smell Scottish salt in the air. Ribbons of fairway dive behind fescue-covered hummocks, while the ever-present wind plays havoc with your long game. Like so many Midwest golf Meccas, Hutchinson sat at the bottom of a great inland sea for some 70 million years, and the resulting sandy soil and natural dunescape offered Press and Perry Maxwell an ideal canvas to craft their masterpiece. We’re taking our fourth trip to what might be the best inland golf course in the country this April, and you’re invited.
