About this course

Mission Hills Country Club sits in the Kansas City suburb of Shawnee Mission, Kansas, occupying rolling terrain characteristic of the region's transition zone between prairie and wooded creek valleys. Megs Jones Jr. designed the course, contributing to the area's golf landscape during the mid-twentieth century when suburban country clubs were expanding around major American cities. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree growth that has developed over decades of play. The course serves a membership drawn from the Kansas City metropolitan area and reflects the traditional country club model common to established Midwestern communities. The layout presents a mix of holes that move through varied topography, with some playing along higher ground and others descending into lower corridors where water features and denser vegetation come into play. The design emphasizes strategic shot placement rather than extreme length, a characteristic of many courses from this era and region. Mission Hills Country Club functions as a private facility with the full range of amenities typical to clubs of its type, including social and dining programs that complement the golf experience. The course has served its membership for multiple generations, maintaining its place in the Kansas City golf community through ongoing stewardship and adaptation to modern playing standards while preserving the essential character of the original design.

Getting there

The journey to Mission Hills Country Club begins at Kansas City International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive south into one of the metropolitan area's most storied residential enclaves. The route descends from the plains into gently rolling terrain, trading interstate for tree-canopied boulevards that wind through Shawnee Mission's quiet, manicured neighborhoods. As you cross into Mission Hills proper, the landscape grows more intimate and refined, with glimpses of Georgian and Colonial Revival estates set back from the road, until the club's understated entrance emerges - a discreet portal into one of the Midwest's most enduring bastions of golf and tradition.
