COURSE INFO

Designed by Jack Nicklaus in Overland Park, Kansas, this par-72 course spans 18 holes and stretches 7,251 yards from the back tees. The Kansas City-area layout features rolling fairways, undulating greens, and strategically placed water features and bunkers that challenge golfers across a range of skill levels.

Holes: 18 Yards: 7,251 Par: 72 Rating: 75.10 Slope: 140

1st Hole

Par 4 · 427

Pro’s Tip:

The first hole is a par 4 that plays straightaway with a prevailing wind from the player’s back. A 3 wood down the left, just short of the fairway bunker, will leave a clear approach to the green. The other option is to take driver long and right to a deep, low fairway, which results in a tricky second over a greenside bunker.

Tee 1: 427

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 369

Tee 4: 270

2nd Hole

Par 3 · 211

Pro’s Tip:

The green on this strong par 3 features three-tiers and is protected in front by water and a small pot bunker on the front-right edge. A swale at the center of the green will feed balls down to a lower fairway next to the water.

Tee 1: 211

Tee 2: 191

Tee 3: 175

Tee 4: 160

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 465

Pro’s Tip:

This long dogleg left par 4 requires players to carry the water on their drive to a landing area flanked by fairway bunkers. The approach shot must avoid the large greenside bunker on the left.

Tee 1: 465

Tee 2: 420

Tee 3: 357

Tee 4: 298

4th Hole

Par 5 · 562

Pro’s Tip:

The first par 5 on the golf course is a long, tough test, where the best strategy is to hug the left side of the fairway the whole way. The drive will have to carry a short, small water hazard and the fairway bunkers left of the landing area. The second will, again, need to miss a larger fairway bunker on the left. The final stretch is peppered with bunkers on both sides on its way to a green that slopes away from the strong landform on the front-right.

Tee 1: 562

Tee 2: 526

Tee 3: 515

Tee 4: 438

5th Hole

Par 4 · 447

Pro’s Tip:

This strong dogleg left par 4 plays downhill. A well-placed tee shot will hug the left side of the fairway while avoiding the two fairway bunkers nestled into the swale of prairie grass. On the approach, the green is protected by a bunker in the front-right and anything missed right is trouble.

Tee 1: 447

Tee 2: 409

Tee 3: 394

Tee 4: 304

6th Hole

Par 5 · 570

Pro’s Tip:

The sixth hole is a long, uphill par 5 that will require three solid shots to reach the green. Players should stay left off the tee to avoid a large bunker on the right. The second shot should do the same, as to miss the bunkers tucked into the side of a deep fairway hollow. Playing to the upper fairway will leave players the best angle into the green.

Tee 1: 570

Tee 2: 544

Tee 3: 510

Tee 4: 469

7th Hole

Par 4 · 364

Pro’s Tip:

The shortest par 4 on the course, the seventh will reward players who can hit it both long and straight. The slight dogleg right challenges players to stay long and right while avoiding the bunkers that hug the edge of the fairway. Approaching the green, which is guarded by bunkers front-left and back-right, from this angle is ideal.

Tee 1: 364

Tee 2: 327

Tee 3: 308

Tee 4: 246

8th Hole

Par 3 · 188

Pro’s Tip:

This hole is a slightly uphill par 3 to a long, narrow green that breaks down and away from left-to-right. Sand guards the putting surface in front.

Tee 1: 188

Tee 2: 167

Tee 3: 153

Tee 4: 122

9th Hole

Par 4 · 442

Pro’s Tip:

The final hole of the front nine typically plays directly into the wind. Three fairway bunkers guard the landing area, which, if avoided, will set up a short iron into the green. The other, safer, option is to aim at the left fairway, leaving a longer second into a putting surface with two greenside bunkers in the front-left.

Tee 1: 442

Tee 2: 409

Tee 3: 393

Tee 4: 309

10th Hole

Par 5 · 501

Pro’s Tip:

The back nine opens with a dogleg right par 5, where the ideal drive will challenge the right side of the fairway while avoiding the lake. The second shot provides players an option to lay-up or attempt a difficult shot into this heavily bunkered green.

Tee 1: 501

Tee 2: 487

Tee 3: 475

Tee 4: 413

11th Hole

Par 4 · 447

Pro’s Tip:

A solid drive on the eleventh should stay right, but short, of the fairway bunker tucked into a broad landform. The approach into this green, which slopes hard from right-to-left, is protected by large bunkers in the front-left and back-right.

Tee 1: 447

Tee 2: 428

Tee 3: 403

Tee 4: 318

12th Hole

Par 5 · 592

Pro’s Tip:

The last par 5 on the golf course, the twelfth is a dogleg left that plays downhill with a prevailing wind. Two fairway bunkers guard the left side of the landing area, defending against cutting off too much. Players who go for the green in two will need to carry water on the left. The second landing area narrows a bit and feeds off the landform on the right as it turns towards the hole. From there, a wedge is left to a green that slopes towards the lake.

Tee 1: 592

Tee 2: 559

Tee 3: 545

Tee 4: 479

13th Hole

Par 4 · 386

Pro’s Tip:

A well-struck drive on this par 4 will carry a water hazard and three fairway bunkers. The green is perched on top of a natural ridge and angles from front-right to back-left.

Tee 1: 386

Tee 2: 338

Tee 3: 326

Tee 4: 246

14th Hole

Par 3 · 158

Pro’s Tip:

This par 3 plays slightly downhill and over water. Any shots left or short of this small green will find the water. Bunkers guard the right and back of the putting surface, which also features a rock and water feature behind.

Tee 1: 158

Tee 2: 144

Tee 3: 124

Tee 4: 84

15th Hole

Par 4 · 363

Pro’s Tip:

Water and bunkers frame the landing area on the par 4, fifteenth. In order to set up the best angle into the green, players should take their drive down the left side of the fairway. Then, a small pond and bunker in front and a grass hollow in back protects this three-tiered green.

Tee 1: 363

Tee 2: 320

Tee 3: 310

Tee 4: 263

16th Hole

Par 4 · 447

Pro’s Tip:

The sixteenth is a dogleg left par 4 that typically plays into the wind. Off the tee, players must carry a small lake and avoid a large waste bunker down the left. A well-placed tee shot down the right will set players up for a fairly long and uphill approach to the green.

Tee 1: 447

Tee 2: 420

Tee 3: 401

Tee 4: 311

17th Hole

Par 3 · 231

Pro’s Tip:

Though its longest par 3 on the golf course, the seventeenth also plays downhill and often with the wind. A right-to-left tee shot over a bunker-defended landform will feed into the front of the green. Errant tee shots to the left will often find a large greenside bunker.

Tee 1: 231

Tee 2: 206

Tee 3: 192

Tee 4: 154

18th Hole

Par 4 · 448

Pro’s Tip:

The final hole on the course is a long par 4 that often plays directly into the wind. Off the tee, players will want to challenge a series of bunkers on the left side of the fairway. This will leave a slightly uphill approach to a green that slopes left-to-right and is defended by a front-right bunker.

Tee 1: 448

Tee 2: 405

Tee 3: 393

Tee 4: 315

A Jack Nicklaus Signature Design

"The golf course at Nicklaus Golf Club is outstanding for several reasons, including its beautiful views, rolling fairways and capability to challenge both the amateur and the seasoned golfer,” course designer Jack Nicklaus said. “The course’s appeal to a wide range of golfers is due in part to the four sets of tees used to vary distance and angle to the green."
