Course was in really good shape! I was very impressed with the conditions of the greens. Fairways were cut nicely and the rough wasn’t too thick. Played in about 3 1/2 hours and finished up right before the rain came in.

So first all, I played this course often. Staff is great and the course is always in nice shape. Biggest problem always at this course is that there is never really a “starter” and never a Marshall on course. There were up to 3 groups on 5 out of the 9 holes today and at one point 5 groups between 2 holes. Pace of play was close to 3 hours for 9 holes. This will most likely continue considering 3 area courses have decided to go private within the past few years leaving just a couple of options in W. Lenexa for public golf.

Many years ago Deer Creek was one of the top public courses in the Metro. Ever since Great Life got its hands on it the course conditions have gone downhill drastically. The layout is still great but the rough is overgrown and the fairways are beat up. Not to mention most of the bunkers are filled with dirt.. hopefully Great Life will get it’s act together and start taking care of their courses that let remain public.

Really enjoyed my round today at Ironhorse! The only reason I didn’t need rate course conditions a 5 star was the tee boxes need some repair but other than that the course was awesome. Love the layout and challenge this course presents. Staff was very friendly and the beverage cart girl was super friendly as well. This course is a must play for all Kansas City area golfers.

On the morning of my tee time there was a frost delay. The course worked very well to get everyone off as soon as they could even moving myself and my playing partner up to an earlier tee time that had cancelled. The bar staff was very friendly offering a sample of their newest beer on tap we even picked up a nice looking Under Armour shirt with the course logo on it. The course was in as good as shape you could ask for considering the time of year. I always enjoy this course and its open layout. Pace of play again was really smooth even considering the delay in the AM. This course is a must play and a great value in the KC metro.

Falcon Lakes was in great shape this past weekend considering the lack of rain this past month. Very friendly staff at the bar and in the clubhouse. Pace of play was great for a Saturday and we spotted 2 different cart girls during our round and a couple of Marshall’s making sure everyone was doing ok.

Really enjoyed this course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Had an early tee time and got around the course well under 4 hours, even had time to take some pictures of the course and surrounding areas.
