Firekeeper Golf Course — Local services in Holton

One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Hands down the #1 or #2 ranked course in Kansas depending on who you believe and it’s deserving of both. This gem stay and play brings groups from as far as St. Louis and myself from OKC and if you are within the area you have got to play here. Tee boxes and fairways are insane. Greens are tough so bring your A game. If you hit it off the fairway make sure you keep an eye on it as the blue green fescue will hide your ball. I found dozens of balls within inches off the fairway that others just couldn’t see. 😇 Tip: if you shoot around the high 80’s or higher, leave the PRO V 1’s at home. This place will eat em up! Carts have GPS and will help navigate precise shots which are needed on so many holes as the course is hard even for this 10 handicapper. I played the Buffalo tee box and shot an 82. Driver can often bring trouble into play on several holes so prepare for a little disappointment even when a good tee shot looks like you’ve found the fairway. The casino and hotel are just next door , the pro shop has a nice selection of logo items and the quaint clubhouse grille is very accommodating. There are plenty of on course water stations and restrooms. Don’t worry about whatever you pay to play. It’s a legit 5 Star course and it beats most resort courses. Well done...

Absolutely loved this course. Friend and I tee'd off at 9:30AM on a Thursday and finished in about 3.5 hours despite getting a little backed up on the back 9 (had to wait about 5 minutes on every tee box on the back). All of the staff were friendly and happy to give us advice and ask about our experience.

The highlight is the golf course itself. This is the most difficult course we've played in the area. Every hole presents a shot that makes you question your club choice because there are so many well placed hazards. There are several holes with greenside bunkers in the front of the green, which force you to go long, something very few golf courses use. The rough is thick and unforgiving. The greens are fast. The tee boxes and fairways weren't in perfect condition, but they were definitely above average.

My friends have already agreed that the next time we play, we'll be staying on-site to...

We played here on 04/13/2024 and were extremely disappointed. In the past, ride alongs were accepted when walking on. It was brought to our attention that this is not the case on weekends any longer and after severe back and forth our Ride Alongs were granted with a $40 upcharge. Nowhere is this stated on their website. Also the course was not in great shape at all and did not justify the $135 green fee. Multiple fairways were gouged by what appeared to be the guidearm from the mowers, tee box's were bare dirt in various prime spots, multiple sections approaching the green were flooded and the bunkers were concrete solid which guaranteed a gouge on your wedge if you hit into them. This will be my first and last time playing at this course which is a huge shame after reading the rave reviews...
