Overland Pk and Kansas City Recommendations

[Steve2100]

Last week of July my wife is taking a class in Overland Pk and I am driving with golf clubs in tow. Any nearby courses or eatery recommendations would be appreciated!

Firestick is a good course.

 

[shanewu]

is 3 hours away considered "nearby"?

For eats, you have to dine on some BBQ. Joe's KC, Q39 and Jack Stack all have restaurants in OP.

If you are talking about Firekeeper, it's not exactly near OP.

How are St Andrews or Iron Horse?

Q39 is incredible, my HQ is next door to a Jack Stack & that's what they cater but I thought Q39 was way better

Iron Horse is a good public course. Sycamore is about 25 minutes south and considered one of the better public courses out south.

Jack Stack BBQ. Tell Joe Barone I sent you!

Looks like I gave you some bad info sorry.

St. Andrews is a great public track. Tee times are always full, but if you are a single you can probably get one.

Need @TRyan to chime in

 

[TRyan]

@Steve2100 Depends on how far you are willing to drive - The best Public Courses in KC (IMHO)

• Ironhorse
• Stone Canyon
• Falcon Lakes
• Sycamore Ridge

As far as food - Have to go BBQ

• Joes
• Q39
• Slaps
• Stay away from Gates, please.
• Jack Stack isn't bad - Sides are better than the meat

St. Andrews is a great public track. Tee times are always full, but if you are a single you can probably get one.

Very walkable if you like that. I will caution that it is a fun track but it does get a ton of play so the greens can leave some to be desired due to inconsiderate players not fixing their pitch marks.

Q39 is incredible, my HQ is next door to a Jack Stack & that's what they cater but I thought Q39 was way better

Q39 is miles better than Jack Stack

 

[TRyan]

How are St Andrews or Iron Horse?

Both solid options - I would say Iron Horse over St Andrews for sure. Iron Horse, while expensive, is probably the best public course in KC

Any truth the rumor that @TRyan is a damn fool for not recommending Arthur Bryant's?

We will have to agree to disagree on Arthur Bryant's buddy

NOOOOOO

@TRyan what was that woodland type course we played with a big group back in 2015. Not the one we played for the Invitational, but the day before. I liked that one.

Shoal Creek? I have slept a LOOOOT since 2015.



In other news - Prairie Highlands (where we did the invitational) has gone Private

I really can't remember. There were a lot of trees and it was really green. I seem to remember hills too.
