Want to play the best public golf courses in Kansas?
GolfPass releases a Top 10 Public Golf Courses in Kansas every year thanks to YOU. We create our annual Golfers' Choice lists by curating the reviews submitted by everyday golfers. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages.
Each course needed at least one review and at least some public access to qualify. Some top public golf courses are located near Kansas City, while others reside closer to the farmland and prairie spread throughout the state.
We make our Golfers' Choice best-of lists user friendly. Simply click on the photo of each course to learn more about the facility or to book a tee time (in most cases).

Best Public Golf Courses in Kansas
-
Cherry Oaks Golf Course
Green fee: $28-$31
What they're saying: "Course was in great condition. A few spots in a couple of fairways were needing work but otherwise it was great. The layout is pretty open and fairly forgiving making it good for beginners. Pace of play was good but still got backed up quite a bit on the last few holes. Will definitely go back again as the cost per round was very reasonable." - maparicio -
Falcon Lakes Golf Course
![Falcon Lakes GC: Clubhouse]()
Green fee: $64-$68
What they're saying: 'One of our favorite courses to play in KC. Hard to get on at times but well worth the wait. Play it while you can because they will probably be private soon." - mauriceokeefe19 -
Spring Creek
Green fee: $35-$39
What they're saying: "I had heard good things about this course but it is about an hour and 15 minutes from where I live. Decided to take my son there for my birthday and glad I did. The person working the front counter was super friendly, took us outside and showed us around and we had a great time. The greens were the fastest I had putted on all year, and the course was in great shape even though we hadn't had a lot of rain. We almost had the whole course to ourselves. I would highly recommend a getaway to this golf course. You will not regret it." - rvs0002 -

Firekeeper Golf Course
