Course Report

Sycamore Ridge is known for being among the first courses in the Kansas City area each spring to turn green thanks to its bentgrass fairways and greens.

About

Sycamore Ridge Golf Course in Spring Hill, Kansas, is an acclaimed 18-hole public course featuring bentgrass from tee to green. Designed to challenge all skill levels, it showcases tree-lined fairways, white sand bunkers, and a varied, rolling layout. Known for quality conditions and scenic appeal, Sycamore Ridge consistently ranks among the region’s top daily-fee options.

Caddie Tip

Aim for precision rather than power off the tee, as the tree-lined fairways can penalize wayward drives. On approach shots, favor the center of greens due to subtle slopes, and pay special attention to pin locations. The back nine becomes more challenging, so stay patient and play smart.

The Main Challenge

The toughest aspect of Sycamore Ridge is its demanding back nine, which requires precise shot placement and accuracy. Strategic bunkering, dramatic elevation changes, and challenging green complexes combine, especially under windy conditions, to test every part of a golfer’s game.

The Good

Golfers love Sycamore Ridge for its strong variety, excellent conditions, and challenging layout. Many praise the well-maintained bentgrass surfaces and the diversity of holes, which keep each round interesting and provide memorable shots that stick with players long after the round ends.

The Not So Good

Some players report that the rough can be very penal and the course’s challenge might be excessive for beginners. Others suggest that more forward tee options and additional signage on the course could help both pace of play and overall enjoyment, especially for first-time visitors.
