Tomahawk Hills Golf Course
About this course
Tomahawk Hills Golf Course sits in Shawnee, Kansas, a suburban community in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Designed by Harry Robb and opened in the mid-1960s, the course serves as a municipal facility operated by the city. Robb, a regional architect active across the Midwest during the post-war golf boom, created a layout that works with the gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Johnson County. The course occupies land that features modest elevation changes and mature tree growth, typical of Kansas parkland settings. The routing incorporates natural drainage corridors and wooded areas that frame many holes, creating definition and variety within a relatively compact property. As a municipal course, Tomahawk Hills has long provided accessible golf to residents of Shawnee and the greater Kansas City area, serving both regular public play and local competitive events. The layout presents a straightforward test suitable for players of varying abilities, with tree-lined fairways requiring accuracy and greens that reflect the design sensibilities of its era. Over the decades, the course has undergone periodic updates to maintain playability and adapt to modern maintenance standards while preserving its original character. Tomahawk Hills remains a fixture in the local golf community, offering a traditional parkland experience in a suburban setting.

Getting there
Tomahawk Hills Golf Course lies in Shawnee, Kansas, a western suburb of Kansas City, making Kansas City International Airport the natural gateway roughly thirty minutes north.
