Old Kinderhook Golf Course

Had very high expectations, given the top-5 ranking of the course as well as the mighty hefty greens fees. However, I was a touch disappointed. An interesting layout in outstanding shape but just not the very best of the best in the state. I’d rank it more as a top 5 to 10 public track in the state.

There are many difficult tee shots and forced carries. Relatively generous fairways with quite challenging greens. Expected a hard day on the course and it proved to be very exacting. A few of the bunkers could use more upkeep. One of the biggest bummers was that sprinklers were going off on the back nine while we were playing. While it was hot outside, we were disappointed our equipment got wet on the course. The finishing hole is fun and has a pleasing viewpoint off the tee. The pace of play was amazing as we didn’t have to wait on any shots.

The staff was awesome and they had some great gear in the pro shop that I spent too much money on! I wouldn’t say it is TRULY worth the costly greens fees but would still highly recommend as a must play.

The course and greens were in great shape for being the middle of November.

It was pretty wet from a ton of rain but the course was still in great shape and the greens rolled smooth.

Course was is very good shape. Greens were running at least a 10. Traps were raked and had plenty of sand and for this time of year that speaks volumes on how this course is taken care of.

Overall this is a very good golf course and a must play in this area.

This is a great track and a must play if you’re at Lake of the Ozarks. Nice layout, great shape and friendly staff made for an enjoyable first time experience.

The price was high for the condition the greens were in.

It doesn't appear that divots are being fixed.

Played my first time today, owning a place at the lake, I have played many of the courses at the lake. Weather was perfect, other than the pace of play it was a great round. At 16 the Marshall was able to move us past the slow groups. We were playing behind a 4 some who was playing a scramble and a 6 some was behind us who let us play through. The course was in good shape, a few greens were a little rough, Biggest issue I saw was that people didn’t repair divots in the green. Huge issue for me, shame a great Course is treated poorly by ignorant golfers. Otherwise course great, staff excellent and the weather was awesome. Worth the price and the time spent waiting! Kinderhook is the best public course at the lake hands down!

When we paid they told us to see the starter out front. After 10-15 minutes of standing around out front and no starter we went back in and they told us to just grab a cart. I stopped at the snack bar to purchase a drink and had a unfriendly cashier who didn't smile. A few minutes before our tee time the cranky starter shows up at the top of the hill of the range to yell at us that we were next on the tee box.He tells us that the beverage cart would be running until 4:30. We run into her when we finished #1 at 2:45 and never see her again. When we were done 2 employees drive up to our vehicle and ask if we had been smoking in the carts. None of us smoke, so the answer was no. We had not been informed about a smoking policy. The single that had been placed with us had been smoking in the cart he had. So evidently they had smelled smoke and thought it was us. None of us saw any policies about smoking and the golf course I work at allows smokers so I am a little confused about this. The course itself was very good.

Didn’t get to play do to rain. The staff was very helpful in getting us our refunds

Old Kinderhook is a great course layout.

Not to demanding in length but you better find the fairway!
