Course Report
Falcon Lakes Golf Club is frequently rated among the best public courses in the Kansas City metro area and is known for its consistently brisk pace of play, with most groups finishing in around four hours.
About
Falcon Lakes Golf Club in Basehor, Kansas is an acclaimed public, links-style course designed by Jay Morrish and opened in 2002. Featuring wide zoysia fairways, spacious undulating greens, and multiple tee boxes on every hole, it offers a balanced and enjoyable layout for golfers of all skill levels. The course is known for its excellent conditioning and accessible practice facilities.
Caddie Tip
Play smart off the tee as the fairways are generous but the approach shots demand accuracy into large, undulating greens. Pay attention to the wind, which can be a factor on this open, links-style layout. Avoid the deep greenside bunkers and don't forget to check pin placements before playing your second shots.
The Main Challenge
The course demands solid approach play to its large, undulating greens and careful club selection on open holes where wind can influence shot trajectory. Deep greenside bunkers and strategic water hazards also provide challenge, especially for aggressive players trying to reach in two on par 5s.
The Good
Golfers love Falcon Lakes for its fun, playable design, consistently good course conditions, and the expansive, well-conditioned zoysia fairways. The greens are large and undulating, adding an extra challenge, and the layout provides a fair test with scoring opportunities for all skill levels. The friendly staff and excellent club amenities are also frequently praised.
The Not So Good
Some golfers would like pace of play to be maintained during peak times and wish for stricter enforcement of cart path rules. While conditions are typically strong, occasional isolated issues with bunkers or wet spots after heavy rain have been noted.
