In another great piece of news for the golf industry in the Chicago area, the Prairie Landing Golf Club in West Chicago has a new lease on life.

The club has just received word that it will not be closing this year or even anytime soon.

Reported here last fall was the POSSIBILITY that Prairie Landing would close at some point in 2016 or shortly beyond.

That is no longer true. A plan to bring a new business facility onto the land where Prairie Landing is located, is now off the table and that company is staying put in it’s current location. Prairie Landing plans to be a golf course for many years to come.
