A True 9 Hole course

Excellent use of terrain. No 2 holes are alike so good variety of club usage. All clubs in bag come into play

Best 9 holes around

Tees off at 6:30 as a solo with a solo in front and one behind, knocked out 9 and was back in my car by 7:35. Course is in excellent shape and has enough variety to keep it fun and give you some challenging shots.

Meh

I mainly go to Falcon Valley because of how close it is to my home and within the last month or 2 every time I have been out, they staff has been extremely rude. I have had tees moved in the middle of teeing off, multiple holes re-holed in the middle of chipping, course management has just been overall rude to us as of recent. We have had larger groups in front of us and even a pair and they come by and yell at us for pace of play. Mind you we can only move as fast as those ahead of us especially if they’re not letting us play through.

Staff was rude, arrogant, presumptive.

I took my family golfing at very late twilight time to keep them out of the hair of other golfers (6:40 p.m.). It's really just my wife and I, and my oldest daughter putts around a bit. I paid for two 'twilight' rates and an extra cart rider. We played 9 holes in 1.20 minutes. When we prepared to make the turn, we were confronted by the manager and told we 'most certainly only paid for nine, and he has seen every trick in the book.' I was totally taken aback, as we paid 80 bucks for two people to play 9 holes... I tried to ask for a verification of my rate, but was met only with more accusations from the staff member. He made me feel like I was shoplifting...which is absurd... I had genuinely inferred that (as most legitimate golf courses do) they only have a twilight rate, and not a 9 hole twilight and an 18 hole twilight. I was totally surprised at the aggressive, angry, presumptive, and dismissive candor of "Jo" the staff member who accused me of attempting to somehow skate by another nine for free. I'm certain I will never play this course again, and will never recommend it to another golfer. If the rates he argued with me about are true, this is amongst the worst value of golf in the Overland Park are. At worst, we would have played two more holes before dark and come in (still a terrible value) but the way I was treated was unlike anything I've experienced at any golf course in my entire life. I'm pretty sure he just wanted us to come in as we were the last carts out on the course... Terrible hospitality... Play someplace else... I certainly will.

Well placed greens

This course had well kept fairways and the clubhouse had great amenities. It was my first time playing this course and I will be back because the staff was friendly and genuine, and the layout was a top class venue for a course out of Kansas. One of the best courses in Kansas by far. Thank you.

Great for anyone course.

I am a beginner and I thoroughly enjoyed the openness of the course (little more room for mistakes), and I did enjoy being able to see the pin on just about every hole. I had a great time and would recommend to a friend and definitely will be going back.

For time of year course was in good shape.

Course was in good shape. Greens got fast as it got later in the day. This is the first time My Wife played the course. I played it a couple of years ago. She enjoyed the course.

Best 9-holer in the region

I’ve played it half a dozen times, and I think if you cite no chipping green and no driving range — along with the residential setting — as being drawbacks to this place, you’d be right...

But those are probably the only things that keep this place from being one of the top ten ‘half-tracks’ in North America. The design and layout, the conditioning, the staff all make it exceptional. Not hip at all, just really good golf. And quick.

Their ‘flag game’ could be WAY better. This place could be real special. It is for me already.
