Par-3 #17 Photo submitted by Tom on 05/25/2018
Great layout, uninterested staff, BRUTAL greens
I played this course on a golfnow deal, paid $30. Was extremely excited to play it based on the ratings that had been given previously, and the rating that it was a top 5 course in Missouri. A must play, right?
I must say, the course layout is excellent. It is a very challenging and well laid out course, with excellent amenities. The carts had GPS which made navigating holes with blind spots very easy to make sure to not hit into groups in front of us. However, that was an issue constantly as the marshalls didn't control pace of play, as there were no marshalls on the course. One gentleman in the group in front of us probably shot 120+, but treated every shot as if he was in the final group of the masters. Teed off a little before 1, finished just before 7. Absolutely brutal in terms of pace of play, largely as a result of an uninterested or non-existent staff.
The course layout has a lot of promise, but the place that really matters is the greens. They have not been cared for in probably months, and were essentially unplayable in many locations. I stopped keeping score as a result of the greens. This is extremely noticeable on the 18th green, with a majority of the surrounding parts of the green covered in some sort of substance resembling sand, with the fringe on the left-hand side being 100% mud. Playing into it with a half pitch shot resulted in my ball being completely buried less than a yard off of the start of the green. Absolutely unacceptable for a course of the prestige given by the reviewers here.
I traveled to come play this course as a result of the rankings on a few sites, and left extremely disappointed. I will not be playing this course again.
Things I liked:
- A good variety of interesting golf holes. The par 5s were fun. The back 9 blends open/forgiving long par 4s with tight/demanding short par 4s.
- As a faster single, a few groups let me play thru. Thank you!
Things I did not like:
- In parts of the course, the conditions were lacking. Burned out/dead fairways, spotty greens, hacked up tee boxes.
Things important to me:
- Cart rates are posted online.
- Given just the distance to the first hole (and then the distance from #9 green to #10 tee) I would not recommend walking this course.
- Their branded ball marker is cool.
Overall a great layout and fun to play, could have been in better condition but it’s been a tough year for golf courses so grace there. Pace of play was very slow and they call you in off the course well before dark not allowing the opportunity to finish the last couple holes if you’re cutting it close. We teed off in plenty of time to finish before dark, but due to a 5 hour round that was not possible. Need to do a better job marshaling the course to push slow groups along or break them up.
Hats off!
Even with the recent aeration this course is always a pleasure to play. Yes, the putts rolled slower than usual, but let me tell you Shoal has some of the nicest fairways you’ll find in the KC area. Great job guys!
Great Track
Course is in great shape. Fairways were excellent and greens were in pristine condition. Rough was tough.
Wet
Fairways had extra water on them , I’m sure due to heat.
Good track
Shoal Creek
Great golf course and it was in very good condition.

Beautiful course definitely will return. Will be my go to course when in kc.
Good Course
Shoal Creek is considered one of the better golf courses in the Kansas City area. However, given the conditions, it is too pricey. They charge $74 for the Saturday morning round when in reality, the corse was more like a $60 course. The fairways on several holes were very stressed and worn. I wouldn’t expect to see that for a $74 course.
Nice Track to Play
Shoal Creek is a great course. Some of the fairways were a little stressed and we’re being re-seeded. The course offers some challenging holes, but fair. The course is better than most in the immediate area, but $74 is a little on the unreasonable side. A more reasonable cost would be $60.
