PARADISE POINTE GOLF COMPLEX
🇺🇸 Smithville, MO, USA
Designed by Ed Ault

Paradise Pointe Golf Complex's Posse course is an Ed Ault design located in Smithville, Missouri, a community in the Kansas City metropolitan area north of the Missouri River. Ault, a prolific architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed numerous daily-fee and municipal courses throughout the Midwest and beyond, typically emphasizing playability and value-oriented golf. His work at Paradise Pointe reflects this approach, providing accessible golf in a region where public course options serve a broad range of players.
The Posse course operates as part of a multi-course complex, sharing facilities and amenities with other layouts at Paradise Pointe. The terrain in this part of Missouri features rolling topography with stands of mature hardwoods and open meadow areas, and courses in the region often incorporate natural elevation changes and water features common to the landscape. Ault's routing likely takes advantage of these characteristics, offering variety in hole corridors and strategic interest without excessive difficulty.
As a component of a larger facility, the Posse course serves both local residents and visitors seeking straightforward, enjoyable golf in a setting that balances challenge with playability. The complex format allows golfers to experience different layouts and conditions within a single destination, contributing to the area's recreational golf infrastructure. Paradise Pointe's location near Smithville Lake and the surrounding countryside provides a pastoral backdrop typical of northwest Missouri golf venues.
