Creekmoor Golf Club
Raymore, Missouri
A Jim Colbert design south of Kansas City, Creekmoor offers championship-caliber public golf through rolling Missouri terrain with creeks, lakes, and mature hardwoods. The affordable layout provides solid golf value with well-maintained conditions throughout the season.
History & Heritage
Creekmoor Golf Club was designed by Jim Colbert — a Kansas City native and 8-time PGA Tour winner — and opened in 1998 as part of the Creekmoor master-planned community south of KC in Raymore. The course features lush zoysia fairways, 65 sand bunkers, and multiple creeks and lakes through rolling Missouri terrain.
Consistently rated among the best public courses in Missouri. Has hosted Missouri Amateur Championship events and Central Links Golf Association tournaments. The par-5 nicknamed the "Beast of Creekmoor" stretches 663 yards — one of the longest holes in the KC metro.

What to Expect
A links-influenced layout with thick fescue rough punishing missed fairways. Beautiful views of Creekmoor Lake along holes 13, 14, and 16. Two par 3s require full carries over water. Well-maintained bunkers with quality sand.
