Winterstone Golf Course

Fun little course to play and in great shape. This course is pretty short, so quite a few tee shots with 3 wood all the way up to a 6 iron. With that being said, the layout does make you have to still shape some shots to play a solid round.
Plenty of elevation changes and some of the greens can be tricky to navigate with a couple of tiers.
The only 2 things I did not like is the course distances are not marked well at all. With only a 150 barber pole in the fairway, it caused me to guess on distance too many times. Nothing on the paths and rarely dobyou find a distance on a sprinkler head.
The other was knowing the position of the flags on the green. There were many holes where you just could not tell if the flag was in the front, middle or back.
Will most definitely be back– fun layout, great condition and a nice little gem tucked away in Independence.

Played this course for a tournament after several hours of torrential downpours. The course, except for a few areas was in amazing shape. The track is hilly and demanding, not overly long, but very picturesque for a city course. Great elevation change, lots of fun, several water holes, all build a unique golf course. The layout is similar to some of the courses you might play in the ozark hills.
I was the only one in our group of four that had played the course, each remarked that they would really enjoy playing it again. It’s worth the trip to play a course that doesn’t have a house in sight.

Winterstone is one of the nicest public golf courses in the KC area. I’ve played here several times and the course has always been in fantastic shape. It’s challenging yet fun, and for novice golfers like me, it’s nice that it’s not the type of course where you’ll lose a ton of balls. The people here are friendly and the atmosphere unpretentious. The only two downsides to me are the price and the lack of a nice clubhouse. Because it’s so expensive I typically only play here when I find a steal on
