Description

The first notion of a premier public golf course butting up against the Byron Forest Preserve District's restored prairie land began quite innocently, spawned by a handful of area golf enthusiasts who recognized the region's appetite and marketplace desire for a championship-caliber golf experience.Late in the 1980s, with crude course layout sketches penned on a napkin, the group presented their initial dreams for the 159 acres of fallow cropland to the Forest Preserve. Informal discussions were embraced and were soon followed by market and feasibility studies, funding explorations, site surveys, land-use and environmental planning, and, eventually, a formal course-development resolution. The course, later to be named "PrairieView", was, indeed, on its way to becoming a reality.William James Spear & Associates, with their firm's solid reputation for designing courses of laudable merit throughout the Midwest (including the Amana Colonies Golf Course), was retained for carrying out the strategic design and course architecture duties. Ryan Incorporated Central, one of the nation's leading golf course construction firms (Glen Club, Whisper Creek, and Harborside International) was selected to translate skillfully and efficiently the vision and architectural master plans into existence.
