If you like historical courses this is a course for you to play once. It used to be the longest course in the world and many legends have played here. However, the fairways are narrow and are not well groomed, maybe this is to preserve historical playing conditions but I would just assume update the fairways to bent grass and put in a new subsoil layer. WARNING: Due to terrain and course design make sure you can be seen by the group behind you. Too many blind shots can get you in trouble on the scorecard and the group in front of you. Very difficult course due to the design, but can be played by most skill levels, might have to keep the driver in the bag on this one or risk hitting into the rough or other people on different holes. Greens are above average difficulty and only averagein conditon. The marshall was looking for balls in the rough instead of speeding up play which can be slow on this course. Above average clubhouse. Cart service lacks hard liquor. Glad I played it once for historical sake, but wouldn't play it again even for a discounted rate.

Pleasantly surprised by this public course which is good for all skill levels. The Posse is the original course and snakes along Smithville lake with nice scenery, however kids on their boats can be too loud along some of the holes. Fairways are average to above average and fairly wide, surprisingly hilly and can make for some challenging shots. Greens are above average difficulty and taken care of fairly well. The sand needs to be taken care of better and replaced with higher quality sand. The club house is slow and crowded due to the 36 holes it is servicing. The cart service is above average and they have nice freshly made deli sandwiches which is a plus so you don't have to wait for a hot sandwich at the turn. They also have popular airplane bottle liquor and is fairly cheap to eat and drink. Gas powered carts but can walk. Would play this course again especially for the price.

Excellent public course and good for all skill levels. Rolling terrain makes this challenging, fairways in above average shape and not too narrow. No houses along course. Greens are above average difficulty and in good shape for a public course. Sand comes into play and is fairly well taken care of. Electric carts are nice but can walk. Service is great and the clubhouse is nice. Good hot dog at the turn. Good beer specials. Airplane bottles of popular alcohol also available on the cart. Would play this course again.

Amazing course and good for all skill levels. The greens are the truest I have played and difficult but not impossible. Course was fairly wide open with few houses lining it. Fairways were PGA quality but were fairly wide; however, a lot of uneven stances in the fairway but not ridiculous. The sand is well manicured. Service lacked when we played on a Saturday and a wedding was also scheduled for that evening. Would play this course again in a heartbeat.
