"A touch
of Scotland in the Land of Oz. Sunflowers
instead of heather. Oceans of grain
instead of the sea. But, like Scotland,
be prepared, the wind always blows."
These are the poetic words of golf
pro Tom Watson describing the course
at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson,
Kansas.
Prairie Dunes can hardly be farther
from the sea and yet it is known as
a "seaside" course because
of its rolling sandhills, characteristic
of a true Scottish links. Vaunted
by professionals as one of Americas
toughest courses, Prairie Dunes is
a course for thinkers, rewarding good
shots and punishing the weaker ones.
Built in 1937 by Perry Maxwell at
the height of the Depression, the
course is blended intuitively into
the natural terrain creating treacherous
and well
protected greens with severe roughs.
Prairie Dunes is ranked among the
top 20 courses in America; its number
8 and 10 holes make most golfing publications
list of the greatest golf holes in
America. Editor Nick Seitz of Golf
Digest writes, "Prairie Dunes
has to be this countrys
most unusual great course. If there
were degrees of the word uniqueness
it would be our most unique."
