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.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
