The Prairies Golf Club is a par-71 public course in Kalamazoo, MI, established 1912.
The Prairies Golf Club in Kalamazoo takes its name from the oak openings and prairie grassland ecosystems that once characterized much of southwestern Michigan before European settlement converted the landscape to farmland. These open, grassy landscapes—shaped by Indigenous burning and maintained by centuries of managed land use—were among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the Great Lakes region, and the prairie name places the course in ecological relationship to the land it occupies. Kalamazoo's position in the transition zone between the eastern deciduous forest and the midwestern prairie makes the prairie reference geographically apt: southwestern Michigan was prairie-adjacent in a way that the northern counties were not, and the golf course's name acknowledges the landscape history beneath its current green fairways.
