Local "Insider" Tips
- Mind the Elevation: The greens here can be tricky, often breaking towards the nearby creek that runs along the 7th hole. Keep this in mind when lining up your putts!
- Watch the Wind: Kansas can be breezy, especially in the afternoons. Be prepared for gusts that can affect your drives and approach shots, particularly on the back nine.
- Stay Hydrated: With the sun shining brightly, make sure you have plenty of water. The open layout can expose you to the heat, so plan your hydration strategy accordingly!
