Shoal Creek Golf Course

Although they had recently and sanded the greens, the course was it good shape. My first time there, I will be back soon.

Great course all around.

This course has amazing greens & fairways, but the rough is ridiculously thick. If your ball ends up there, be prepared to have a horrible time hitting out of it. This course is well taken care of for a public course! I’ll be back

Was my 1st 18 hole round this season. Front nine was lil suspect but turned it around on back nine. Course in great shape and I had a good round..even with the wind.

This is one of KC's best public courses. Love the layout and it is well cared for.

I live in and grew up in southern KC and never really considered playing anywhere north of the river. I decided to google best golf courses in KC, and stumbled upon Shoal Creek. On the front page of their website they say "ranked 2nd best golf course in Missouri, 2006", which I found a little funny and surprising it isn't consistently ranked.

Due to COVID, walking rate was $25 for 18 holes, which is an unbelievable deal for a course of this quality. Ended up walking over 7 miles though, which is something to consider... Anyways, the fairways and greens here are outstanding. Not too hard to where you can't be precise around the greens, and not soft enough to where your ball turns into a fried egg when you lob one on. You DO NOT want to be in the rough, I am not sure what grass it is, but it is very thick and can totally ruin your score on a hole. The scenery on the back 9 is much better than the front as there are some construction projects on neighboring lots.

In summary, would recommend to anyone looking to play a challenging and well kept course.. If you don't mind walking 7+ miles, wait until post-covid.

Awesome Course Had a Wonderful Time! Course Immaculate

Great place to play golf. Courses in fabulous shape!

Great course in good shape. Was a little chilly out.

Love being able to play during this time. And actually prefer to walk I believe I stay more focused and of course get better exercise. It was a beautiful day. The course is in great condition for the traffic they are getting right now. But unfortunately the pace of play is horrible. With no Marshall there were two foursomes playing very slow beyond time rules and became a traffic jam. Because of that probably will not visit again until this clears up. Too bad as I really enjoy this course.

Thanks for being open and letting us play, we were a foursome and teed off at 12:20. Walking we finished around 5:20 I don’t think that’s too slow. But with this Virus I didn’t particularly enjoy a twosome playing fast and passing groups thought this was extremely rude and dangerous considering what’s happening today. Playing in tourneys and leagues I have found golf has become less the gentleman’s game and more the self entitled, do anything I want game. Sad, because Shoal is a great course

It had just rained a lot so there was a lot of water so it was cart path only. But for this time of year I thought the course was in really good shape. You could tell they have had a lot of winter traffic but this should all recover this spring. Love the layout of this course and because of the weather pace of play was great because not too many golfers. Staff was friendly. This course is a treat to play and has lots of fun challenges. The greens for this time of year are pretty tough but with spring coming will improve. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.

First, I have always enjoyed this course. Yesterday, I simply had to get out of the house. Weather was cold and the course was saturated. Cart path only, so we got our exercise! The course is snacks and drinks for take out only because of the corona virus. The staff is doing the best they can. If you go please take a water jug with you because as a precaution the course is not providing drinking water on the course. We will get through this just be patient!

Great for this time of year. Paired with locals. Nice. Play everyime I come thru. Always great

Only complaint is that it was so early in the year that the greens were in rough shape... it's one of the best layouts in the area. Nice course, good value
