Prairie Knolls Country Club -- *Simple Golf*
Review by: Cole Lucas	There is something to be said for playing golf in a peaceful location that is known to exist by only those local to the area. Best enjoyed in the early morning or evening when you may well have the course all to yourself. Just you, playing on a course surrounded by a train track and farmland. Refreshing.

Bent Tree Golf Club -- *Where do they put the cows?*
Review by: Mike	I played Bent Tree on Saturday for the first time in 3 years. First the positives: Great layout Green in very good shape Nice people I have one very big negative. From tee to green the course was in lousy shape! Weeds have been allowed to take over the the bent grass fairways. Why this course put down bent grass fairways in the first place is beyond me. At times it was difficult to determine if I was in the rough on on the fairway. I know I shouldn't complain about the rough, its my own fault for going there in the first place, but the rough was a mixture of tall thick weeds and hard pan dirt. Yuck! My advice is stay away from this course! Maybe the fairways will improve, but I doubt it. I suspect they are having financial problems due to their remote location and are having trouble coming up with the money to put into the course. For $48 on weekends there are much better courses in the area to play.
