Time:              Check-in 45 minutes prior to YOUR tee time with a 12:30 PM start for the first tee time. Allow a 45-minute drive from the south KC metro.

Golf carts are included in your $40 per person price.

 

Format:          Team scramble.  Foursomes all men players drive from the Gold tees (5783 yards, Par 71) best ball is selected for 2nd shot. Each player hits a ball from that spot. Continue this all the way to the green and until the ball is holed. If only three players in a foursome then rotate through all three players to hit the next #4 shot, not just the best player. No mulligans. The worst score on any hole is a bogey. So bogey is your friend. Gentlemen over 65 can use the White Tees. Women can play from their Red tees.  (For reference: Blue tees 6,155; Gold 5,783; White 5,369; Red 4,676). Play toward a four-hour round as a goal.
