MINOR PARK GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Kansas City, MO, USA
Designed by Larry W. Flatt

Minor Park Golf Course occupies a municipal facility in south Kansas City, Missouri, designed by Larry W. Flatt and opened in the mid-1960s. Flatt, a Kansas City-based architect, contributed several public courses to the region during this period, emphasizing playable layouts that serve recreational golfers. The course sits within Minor Park, a larger city park that includes other recreational amenities, and reflects the straightforward design principles common to municipal golf in the era—accessible terrain, modest length, and maintenance suited to high-volume play.
The routing takes advantage of gently rolling topography typical of the Kansas City area, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and frame approach shots. Water features appear on several holes, adding variety and strategic interest to an otherwise traditional parkland layout. The course serves a diverse membership base and welcomes daily-fee players, functioning as an important entry point for golfers in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Minor Park remains a neighborhood course in character, offering a straightforward test that rewards accuracy over distance. Its role in the city's municipal golf system continues, providing affordable access and a familiar setting for local leagues, junior programs, and casual rounds. The layout has seen periodic updates to maintain playability, though it retains the essential character of Flatt's original design.
