Challenging course!

First time playing Really liked it. I’m an 8 hdcp and I had to play well to shoot 83. Greens are super challenging. Only complaint was some wacky pin placements. Several were 1-2 steps on.

Ok

Slow. Never saw a Marshall all day..-another money saving move I guess. All the reviews on conditions are accurate-bone dry rough, traps are literally UNPLAYABLE. Pure dirt. This is not a weather issue-it’s to save $$. We quit playing in them since they obviously do not care. Greens were Ok. Always enjoy the layout but will not play here until they at least fix the traps

Nice, fun, quiet layout 2nd tier condition

I really liked the layout. Tight enough to focus attention. Very few holes side by side. Creek in play a lot. Very few straight holes. Greens are really really small but receptive but there is little sand All good.

Condition is definitely 2nd or 3rd tier. greens were probably slowest I've ever played. Had to jackhammer putts. Many had weeds and dead spots. This is green maintenance 101. Fairways were actually decent. Rest is weeds and bare spots Tee boxes were really really bad. I guess they cant buy sand and fill in divots and holes...doesn't seem that hard..,

Facility is spartan at best....I don't really care about the clubhouse but it does match the course maintenance perfectly.

nice old country club layout

This is an old, classic country-club layout. All the fairways are narrow and heavy-tree lined. Small greens. Except for a few greens that had a few spots, greens were nice. Fairways are zosia and very good. Fun change of pace, mentally and physically. A lot of KC public courses are more open.

Will never play here again

Outside about half the greens, this is a weed and dirt-infested dog track. The layout is actually not back (short of a some parallel holes where hackers will rain balls on you). It's very short (ie <15-20 handicap will find this very short) but nice holes and elevation changes.

Played Sunday...fairways hadn't been cut for a least 3-4 days (I literally could not tell the difference btwn the rough and fairway on most holes). The greens and fairways are overrun with weeds. The marshall was complete jerk--instead of a "please keep it on the path (we didn't read the "Carts" sign due to overgrown grass... our bad), he said "you idiots can't read, can you?" Nice.

The maintenance guy said they have 4 crew member for the entire course...4...for 120 acres....and GOD forbid, don't drive into the weeds or the marshall will lose his frikkin' mind.

This is a perfect course for 30+ handicappers...
