Lamont Hill Resort Golf Course
About this course
Lamont Hill Resort Golf Course is located in Vassar, Kansas, a small community in Woodson County in the eastern part of the state. The course was designed by Mel Anderson, a golf architect who worked primarily in the Midwest during the latter half of the twentieth century. Anderson's designs are characterized by routing that works with natural terrain rather than against it, and Lamont Hill reflects this philosophy within the rolling landscape typical of the Flint Hills region. The course plays through native prairie and woodland typical of eastern Kansas, with elevation changes that provide visual interest and strategic variety across the layout. Like many regional courses of its era, Lamont Hill was developed as part of a resort property, integrating the golf experience with lodging and recreational facilities. The design takes advantage of the area's natural topography to create holes that feel rooted in their setting rather than imposed upon it. As a regional course in rural Kansas, Lamont Hill serves the local golfing community and visiting players seeking a genuine Flint Hills experience. The course maintains the character of Midwestern resort golf from its period, offering straightforward playability and a connection to the landscape that defines the region. While not widely known outside Kansas golf circles, it represents the understated tradition of regional course design that has sustained golf in America's heartland for generations.

Getting there
# Getting There
Lamont Hill Resort Golf Course is reached most conveniently via Kansas City International Airport (MCI), roughly ninety minutes to the northwest, or by way of Fort Scott Regional Airport (FSK) for a shorter, more intimate approach through the rolling Flint Hills. The drive south from Kansas City carries you through the gentle topography of eastern Kansas, where prairie grassland and tree-lined county roads gradually replace the urban periphery, before arriving at Vassar - a quiet rural crossroads where Lamont Hill emerges as a carefully tended oasis of manicured fairways and native landscape. For those piloting private aircraft, small regional strips serve the area, though the resort's setting in the heart of the Flint Hills rewards the journey with a sense of genuine seclusion, far removed from the commercial aviation corridors of the coasts.
