When I visit my hometown, Kansas City, I try to play golf with my family. Since they live in Liberty we typically play a local course but, as of today, we have a new favorite course . . . Shiloh Springs Golf Course in Platte City, MO. This course, which is just north of the KCI airport, is a lot of fun to play. There are a number of quirky holes and every hole has a its own personality; no two holes are similar. The course is also deceptively hard. The greens for example are medium size and “look” flat. They may look flat but they have many a wicked break. I haven’t 3-putted so many greens all summer. While the tee, green and fairway grasses are mostly very nice this course will never compete with the elite courses in the Northland – but I would still highly recommend playing Shiloh Springs anyway, even if you are a member at a private club. It really is a lot of fun to play. You’re welcome.
