Spray/Applications Technician
Prairie Landing Golf Club is one of Chicagoland’s premier upscale public golf facilities located in West Chicago, Illinois. Designed and built by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. in 1992 and opened for play in 1994, the Scottish-Links style course offers a unique perspective on the game of golf for the Midwest. The Championship design plays to seven-thousand yards from the tips and features sixty-five acres of bentgrass playing surfaces. Prairie Landing, as the name would suggest, does not have many trees but is outlined with lots of native grasses, fescues, native wildflowers, several small lakes, protected wetlands, and a waterway which meanders and comes into play through much of the golf course. The property also includes almost ten-acres of practice facilities including a one-acre chipping/putting/bunker practice-area, driving-range and two regulation par-four practice holes.
