I'm headed to KC tomorrow night for a wedding and will be there all weekend. My wife is going to be busy doing brides luncheons, etc on Friday and Saturday and all I have to do is the rehearsal dinner on Friday night. Any recommendations for golf courses in KC? I'm thinking about playing Friday and Saturday morning. I'll be staying on the south side of the city and won't have a car, so something in that area is a plus.

The only clubcorp course in KC is lions gate.

It is HARD. at least it was when I played it earlier in the summer, and the rough was the thickest and longest I have ever played, and the win was 20 mph plus.

And the greens were hard as a rock and fast.

Don't they play a "Korn Ferry" event there?

Gotta remember, groupon holders have first priority, then public, then members.

That's correct from my understanding. OP you could probably get a lesson. I hear the 7-4-7 swing system is revolutionary.

Lots of good public courses but make a tee time early bc they back up by 9. Sykes Lady and St Andrews are both nice city courses. www.golfop.com

Deer Creek and Iron Horse are pretty narrow but good courses.

Lions Club is private.

Anyone ever played Firekeeper or Colbert Hills? I know they are more Topeka area but we are driving to South Dakota from D/FW and want to play golf somewhere along the way.

I ended up playing Swope Memorial Golf Course. Its a fairly average public course but it was beautiful, in great shape, and had some nice views of the city. I definitely recommend it for the $46 green fee.

I played both of them and really enjoyed both. Better than any of the public courses I played in the KC area. FIRE KEEPER was really fun.

Tried to book Firekeeper and they are fully booked a week out, which is crazy to me. And Colbert Hills has a tournament. Anything else folks would suggest?
