Course Report
Hallbrook Country Club sits within a prestigious residential development and is widely regarded as one of Tom Fazio’s finest Midwest courses.
About
Hallbrook Country Club, located in Leawood, Kansas, features a scenic and challenging championship golf course designed by Tom Fazio. The layout incorporates natural Kansas prairie grasses, rolling hills, creeks, and wooded hillsides to enhance strategic play. The club is known for its premier service, luxurious facilities, and commitment to a top-tier private golf experience.
Caddie Tip
Keep shots below the hole on approach, as many greens have subtle breaks and can run away quickly. Pay attention to the wind, which can swirl in the valleys, and avoid long approaches to the guarded par 3s. Play conservative off the tee to stay out of the deep fescue in the rough.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge is dealing with the dramatic elevation changes, narrow fairways bordered by tall fescue, and the ever-present meandering creek that comes into play on many holes. Greens are fast and well-bunkered, demanding precision with approach shots and putting.
The Good
Golfers love the stunning design by Tom Fazio, highlighted by dramatic elevation changes, a meandering creek, and the natural integration of native prairie grasses. The course offers strategic challenge along with visual appeal, making every round feel fresh and engaging. Members also rave about the exceptional service and sense of exclusivity.
The Not So Good
Some golfers note that roughs of thick fescue can be overly penal for higher handicappers, leading to lost balls and slow play. Course access is limited to members only, which can make tee times competitive. Greens can occasionally run very fast during peak season, frustrating some players.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole is a memorable par 4 finishing hole featuring elevated tees with panoramic views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. Players face a tee shot over a meandering creek and must navigate mature trees flanking the fairway. Precision is critical on the approach, as the guarded green provides a dramatic and challenging conclusion.
Clubhouse
Members enjoy a recently renovated clubhouse featuring fine dining, casual grill, elegant bar, multiple banquet rooms, lounge areas, and panoramic golf course views. Additional amenities include a pool complex, tennis courts, modern fitness center, child care, massage therapy, and dedicated locker rooms.
