Auburn Hills at Auburn Hills Golf Course

Auburn Hills Golf Course occupies rolling terrain in northeast Wichita, designed by Perry Dye and opened in the mid-1990s as a daily-fee facility. The course takes advantage of natural elevation changes uncommon in much of the surrounding Kansas landscape, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and across open meadow areas. Dye, son of noted architect Pete Dye and brother of P.B. Dye, incorporates elements of the family's design philosophy while creating a layout accessible to a range of skill levels.

The routing works with the property's natural contours, presenting golfers with uphill and downhill approaches that require thoughtful club selection. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering follows the Dye tradition of strategic placement rather than excessive quantity. The course serves Wichita's public golf market, offering a parkland-style experience that contrasts with flatter layouts common to the region.

Auburn Hills functions as a neighborhood amenity and tournament venue for local competitions. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse suited to daily-fee operations. As a Perry Dye design in the Kansas market, it represents an effort to bring contemporary golf architecture to a region where dramatic topography and design variety are less common than in coastal or mountain settings.
