And if you didn't click on the link, by "value" I mean the poor people's courses that don't have the crazy near-perfect fairways/greens like Prairie Dunes and Firekeeper.

Oak Country Golf Club is ok, for sure a value course.  The front 9 plays to a regular 36 but the back 9 is all par 3's with 3 par 4's that are all driveable.  When I first got back into playing I would go there quite a bit, could go early on a morning, play 9 holes for $12 or $15, and no one on the course.  I would play several balls on each hole so got in a lot of practice, especiallly if I played the back 9.

I live in the KC area, there are a lot of courses, I didn't see mentioned, Iron Horse, Deer Creek or Falcon Ridge, these are some of my favorites.  Probably the two best hidden gems, a 9 hole course in Falcon Valley and in Basehor there is Falcon Lakes.  I play most of my golf at Tomahawk, as I can walk across the street to play it!

I play a lot in Witchita, my brother lives there, I think that is a good a bargain for golf as there is in the state, all the city courses are $22 to walk, except Auburn Hills and it's not much more.  Play a lot a Sand Creek Station in Newton also, by far one of the best in the state, and one of the only ones with bent grass fairways and not zoysia.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I'm probably just gonna get a membership with Great Life Golf, since there are three courses within my area that I can play with member privileges (Western Hills, Prairie View, Berkshire). I can't see myself being able to afford much else. But I did like what I saw out of the pictures from Falcon Lakes.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.
