Extremely disappointing experience. The course was in terrible condition, but what made it even worse was that on at least FOUR holes, the flag was placed in the FAIRWAY instead of on the green. There was absolutely no warning or communication about this, so we repeatedly overshot holes because we had no idea the flags weren’t marking the actual greens. We literally couldn’t even putt on roughly a third of the holes. At that point, what are we even paying to play? I’ve included a photo showing one of the flags sitting in the middle of the fairway. If a course is in such poor condition that multiple greens are unplayable, the absolute minimum they could do is inform golfers BEFORE they start their round. Between the awful course conditions, lack of communication, and inability to actually play several holes properly, this was a complete waste of money. Would not recommend.
Here’s a breakdown as of Nov, 5th 2026. Course was in terrible shape, I’ve golfed at pretty much every course in the Kansas City metro area and this was by far my worst experience. To start, I booked a tee time at 3pm, and I get it’s a later time of day with the time of year. grounds crew informed my group to have the cart back by 5pm. no worries! As we were finishing our last hole of the day chipping onto their “greens”, grounds crew sped around in front of our group pulling the flag and drives off without saying anything. If he would’ve a the least told us he was going to do that or let us finish our last stroke there would be no issue but instead rushed and kicked us out of the course. We get back up to clubhouse and I asked next time to give us the common courtesy of a notice and that’s where we were met with snarky comments and aggression to where we were told they are trying to go home and don’t care about the rude actions or lack of customer service and FAILURE TO FULFILL SERVICE! Terrible course, terrible service. 1.5/10 WONT be back.
The course was in great condition at the beginning of the season, but it declined very quickly. I understand weather and other factors can affect course conditions, so that alone wouldn't have prompted this review. What can't be overlooked is the attitude of the older gentleman in the pro shop. This isn't an occasional bad interaction. It's every single time. Among league members, it's honestly become a running joke about who he's going to be rude to next. I've seen him snap at customers, speak to people disrespectfully, and he even physically snatched the cart keys out of my husband's hand. Customer service like that drives people away, not back. As for the course itself, it's in rough shape now and nowhere near the condition it was at the start of the season. Between the declining course conditions and the consistently poor treatment from the pro shop, it's hard to recommend playing here.
This Golf course was a lot of fun and challenges! Staff was nice, abd helpful. Rates were pretty low for KC area. They had been having issues with the greens, dis coloring, dead spots, but the fairways were in great shape. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.
$60 for this goat farm. Fairways crap. Tee boxes crap. I could have taken these tee box pics at every hole. Greens decent just need to cut and rolled. Cart girl riding around without a roof on her cart. Very red were her shoulders. They can do better. Just another reason not to be a GL member. Worst course I’ve played in a while. Only played because my buddies booked it. Will never be back here.
