About this course

Lakewood Oaks, woven into the rolling landscape of Lee's Summit, Missouri, presents a traditional, player-friendly challenge steeped in Midwestern golfing tradition. Designed in the early 1990s, the course possesses a modern parkland character, defined by mature trees, gently undulating fairways, and strategically placed water features. It’s a course of comfortable distances, rewarding well-struck drives and thoughtful approaches rather than brute force. While not overtly penal, Lakewood Oaks subtly favors players who can work the ball left-to-right, particularly on several doglegs that beckon a calculated fade. Lakewood Oaks hasn't hosted major professional events, yet its enduring appeal resides within its active and engaged membership. Weekday games carry a convivial spirit, fueled by local rivalries and the satisfaction of navigating a familiar, yet always engaging, layout. The clubhouse grill, known for its hearty, no-frills fare, serves as a natural gathering point, cementing the club's role as a central pillar of the Lee's Summit golfing community.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Lakewood Oaks Golf Club route through Kansas City International Airport, a straightforward thirty-minute drive to the southeast into the gently rolling terrain of suburban Lee's Summit. The journey follows Interstate 470 as it arcs around the southern edge of the metro, trading urban sprawl for increasingly open farmland and wooded hillsides before slipping into the quiet residential neighborhoods that cradle the club. For those flying private, Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport offers a closer touch-down with direct access to the city's eastern reaches. The final turn off Colbern Road reveals the understated entrance to Lakewood Oaks - a members' retreat where Kansas City's golf tradition continues away from the spotlight.
