Sycamore Ridge Golf Course - (gorgeous fall day)

Post by Maitre D »

The United States Golf Association ranks golf courses in America, based on a scoring system.  Kansas City's #1 golf course in that ranking is Sycamore Ridge, in Spring Hill, KS.    I played it yesterday on a beautiful KC fall day:

#6 sure looks challenging.

#17 is a nice hole. My favorite kind of shot. I've won a lot of quarters on holes like that.

What a good idea! Pictures of a golf course you played. Very nice pics, too. I like the first one best.

We have had some damn fine golf weather for late october/early november - freaking shame that I haven't had a half a second to get near a club.  :(  Good pics MD.

I have a free round coupon for Sycamore Ridge, looks like I better use it before it expires or before it gets too cold. Nice pics

The weather has been INCREDIBLE this fall.  I've been amazed how nice it's been.

INcidentally, KC has some really great golf conditions.  (1) Lots of sunshine, (2) fairly warm - can go 9months/yr, (3) very hilly.  surprinsingly so.  Some people moan that golfing in FLA or TEX is totally boring compared to here.
