Comments

The National Golf Club of Kansas City, MO is one of the finer private clubs in the western portion of Missouri. It is a first-class club, course and club house. The course is surrounded by beautiful homes which complement the course. You can usually get an indication of the quality of the course and its maintenance by the number of greens keepers. The number of The National’s greens keepers are comparable to size of the army of a small country. These guys were everywhere. And, the quality of the course shows in big ways and the smallest details. The bunkers are nicely edged, the beautiful white sand traps are well manicured and the fairways are in wonderful condition. The greens are medium to large size with a high level of complexity AND fast . . . a lethal combination. Like many exclusive clubs, The National’s tee boxes are not numbered which is only problematic if you are playing by yourself for the first time, which I was. If you love golf and like a good challenge, figure out how to get yourself invited to play this great course.
