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.

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.
