Why Shoal Creek is on my top 10.

Let’s be honest, Shoal Creek is a muni course. But it acts like an very good semi private course.The staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. There could always be more food options at the grill but lets face it, I’m really there for the golf. And there is where Shoal Creek really shines. The course isn’t easy but it is fair! And it is very well maintained. Carts are clean(I prefer electric but not a deal breaker) and the GPS is very helpful. The Bluetooth is also a plus. The cost for a round is appropriate and if you do some digging you can find some great discounts. So there you have it, Staff, golf, equipment, and cost all add up to a fun day for everyone.

Love this course but..........

As a player that plays twice a week usually one here I was very disappointed by having to pair up with a random stranger in a cart. Turns out they were extremely friendly but never heard of it and have been golfing all over the country. Claimed there is a cart shortage. The group behind us didn't have to adhere to the rules of said shortage. No water to drink on the back 9. Lastly when we finished up and returned the cart 17 carts were all ready to roll for players. Very frustrating but will play there again for it really is a beautiful place to play.

10 out of 10

One of the best courses in the KC area!! Immaculate course for $70....pay it all day. Save $20 bucks all over town, but none are even in the same ballpark as Shaol Creek. Staff, os great. Greens had too much sand this weekend, but still 10 out of 10 review. Don't play anywhere else!!

A bunch of opportunities

One of my favorite courses in Kansas City. For early June on a Thursday the course was in great shape! Only hit the sand once but could tell some more attention could be thrown there. Overall a good time shooting far above my average and getting frustrated

Shoal is always great

This is my favorite course to play hands down. If you’re in the Kansas City area visiting and need a course to play, look no further than this. From start to finish your entire round is very enjoyable. The course is in great condition. My advice for anyone playing for the first time is definitely pay attention to the wind and use the gps on the cart to overview the hole. There are a few blind shots and hazards that require smart shot shaping and decisions.
