Tex Consolver Golf Course

About this course
Tex Consolver Golf Course is a municipal facility in Wichita, Kansas, designed by Bob Dunning and serving the city's public golf community. The course operates within the typical framework of Kansas municipal golf, providing accessible play across terrain characteristic of the south-central plains region. Dunning, who designed several courses across Kansas and neighboring states during the mid-to-late twentieth century, worked with the flat to gently rolling topography common to the Wichita area. The routing likely incorporates the natural drainage patterns and modest elevation changes found in this part of the state, where mature trees—cottonwoods, elms, and other hardwoods—provide definition and wind protection on a landscape otherwise dominated by open prairie character. Water features, whether natural creek corridors or constructed ponds, often play a role in courses of this era and region, adding both strategic interest and habitat value. As a municipal course, Tex Consolver serves a broad cross-section of Wichita golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking convenient, affordable rounds. The facility reflects the practical design priorities of public golf in the Great Plains: playability for various skill levels, maintainability within municipal budgets, and year-round accessibility when weather permits. The course contributes to Wichita's network of public golf options, providing recreational opportunity in a city with a long-standing golf tradition rooted in accessible community play.
