Hey Jon, I live and play in KC….Live in Lees Summit actually. Ironhorse is a solid track….as far as public access courses go, I’d say the top 3 around town are Creekmoor, Shoal Creek and Ironhorse, in that order. Creekmoor is semi-private so can be a challenge to get preferred tee times, especially on the weekends. I do belong there, so could potentially help out with tee times if needed. Aside from those three, there are many other decent options as well…Adams Pointe, Fred Arbanas, Stone Canyon, Winterstone, Sycamore Ridge, tTiffany Greens, to name a few. All are well within 30 min from downtown. Enjoy wherever you decide…

Thanks Matt!

Matt,

I played Shoal Creek on Wednesday this week and it did not disappoint. I made a mess of 17 (the 40 mph winds didn't help) and ended up having to hit backward twice in the thick stuff to be able to get back up to the putting surface after my tee shot fell short and got hung up on the retaining wall. Great layout that was in pretty good shape - even considering they had dressed the greens on Tuesday. Putts were a little bumpy, but still glad to be out playing in early April. Tee shots demanded thinking and I hit D, 3W, 2i, 4i, and 5i throughout the day. I'd love to come back in a month or two after a little rain and warmer temps to be tested again. Thanks for the recommendations, this one was great!
