“From the back tees, it is a solid challenge for the low handicapper.”įalcon Ridge does not have an abundance of trees, which gives the fairways and greens plenty of sun and air conducive to healthy grass, Price said. “It’s a very friendly course from all the different tees,” Price said. There is a stretch of seven holes on the back with only one par 4. The course continues to mix challenging holes with relative breathers while always giving players a good view of landing areas off the tee and few blind shots from the fairway.įalcon Ridge is unusual in that it has five par 5s and five par 3s. The course gets tougher in a hurry as a tee shot on 3 that is slightly left can bound into the rough and creek that line the fairway on the Par 4 hole. The second hole par 4 is similarly manageable, but water on the right can gobble up a too-long drive or poor second shot. The first hole is a confidence-building par 4 that is relatively short and flat. The course offers generally wide fairways. Clubbing yourself correctly is the secret.”

“The key is probably making sure you understand the distance to the greens because the greens are pretty good size. “It presents a variety of shots and a variety of holes,” Price said. The course has long been appreciated for its championship-caliber design, with no two holes alike as golfers navigate undulations, bunkers and water hazards over the par 72 layout. Few courses in the area are so easily accessible. Falcon Ridge joined the GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness group in March of 2016.įalcon Ridge is just a couple minutes north of Kansas Highway 10 at the Woodland Road exit and very close to the I-35 and I-435 interchange.

For $179.99 plus tax, including cart, members can play the other three courses plus nine others in two lower tiers. “It’s a very positive experience.” Price has been with Falcon Ridge for four years and is a PGA professional.įalcon Ridge is among four courses in the Great Life Classic Plus category, along with Deer Creek, Prairie Highlands and Hillcrest. “This place is as busy as I have ever seen it,” Price said. Those attributes, along with Falcon Ridge now being part of the family of GreatLIFE golf courses, help explain why more balls are flying off the tee there. That’s the way Regional Director and General Manager Steve Price sees it. It’s not hard to come up with three reasons golfers are drawn to Falcon Ridge Golf Club in Lenexa: Location, design and service.
