About this course

The Fred Arbanas Golf Club at Longview Lake is a public par-3 course located in Kansas City, Missouri, situated within the Longview Lake park system south of the city center. Named after Fred Arbanas, the former Kansas City Chiefs tight end who became a prominent figure in Kansas City civic life, the facility serves as an accessible entry point for beginning golfers and a practice venue for experienced players working on their short game. The course occupies terrain near Longview Lake, one of the larger recreational lakes in the Kansas City metro area. The layout features holes of varying lengths that allow golfers to practice with different clubs, from wedges to mid-irons. As a par-3 design, the course emphasizes approach shots and green-side play rather than driving distance, making it suitable for juniors, families, and golfers seeking a quick round or focused practice session. The facility operates under Kansas City's municipal golf system, which manages several public courses throughout the metro area. Longview Lake itself provides a recreational backdrop, with the park offering additional amenities including trails, picnic areas, and water activities. The course represents the type of shorter, more casual golf venue that many American cities maintain to promote accessibility and introduce new players to the game without the time commitment or expense of regulation-length courses.
