LAKE QUIVIRA COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling Flint Hills terrain shapes every shot at this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, where elevation changes of up to 60 feet create dramatic approach angles into heavily bunkered greens. Water comes into play on seven holes, most memorably at the par-3 17th where the lake stretches along the entire left side, demanding a precise mid-iron over 40 yards of water. Kansas wind becomes your chief adversary here, turning what appears to be a straightforward parkland layout into a cerebral test that rewards course management over pure distance.
