North at Crestview Country Club

The North Course at Crestview Country Club in Wichita represents Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s design philosophy applied to the Kansas landscape. Jones, one of the most prolific American golf architects of the mid-20th century, created layouts known for strategic bunkering, large greens with distinct pin positions, and demanding length from the championship tees. His work at Crestview reflects these principles within the relatively flat terrain characteristic of south-central Kansas.

The course occupies ground typical of the region, where mature trees frame fairways and water features come into play on several holes. Jones's routing makes use of available elevation changes, modest though they are, to create visual interest and strategic variety. The design emphasizes accuracy off the tee and approach shot precision, with bunkers positioned to penalize wayward shots and greens that reward proper angles of attack.

Crestview Country Club serves as a private club for the Wichita community, offering traditional country club amenities alongside its golf facilities. The North Course operates as part of the club's multi-course property, providing members with variety in their regular play. The Jones design has matured over the decades since its construction, with tree growth and course conditioning contributing to its current playing characteristics. For golfers in the Wichita area, the course represents an example of classic American golf architecture from the Jones era, adapted to the plains environment of Kansas.
