Painted Hills Golf Course — Local services in Kansas City

The clubhouse was fairly small but looked decent. First thing I didn't like was that there is no walking rate. The holes are all fairly close together so this would be a fairly easy walking course but there's only one price whether you're in a cart or not. Tee boxes were a little rough. I expect some patches and such here and there, especially on par 3s but there was a lot of grass and weeds growing in some part just like it wasn't cut evenly. Fairways were mostly decent. Some spots here and there where I just played ground under repair due to grass not growing. Rough was hit or miss. Some spots near trees where grass wasn't growing at all. Greens were the best part about the course. I was really impressed with them. They rolled true and fast. Minimal pitch marks. Best part about the course. There was no starter and no marshal. I played on a Monday at noon. I was suppose to be paired up with 2-3 other people but when my tee time hit I was the only one on the first tee so I tee'd off by myself. Was a slow round. Backed up and no one to monitor pace of play. 4 hours as a solo makes for a long game and I would have had to skip at least a few holes to get past people so I just sat around and waited each shot. Kids on the course needed monitored. Saw a couple times kids goofing off and being loud. but again, no marshall. Overall 2/5 and the 2 stars is mostly for the low cost and...

It's not really fair to the new staff for the course to get a rating like this. But unfortunately since great life has taken over this course it has gone downhill tremendously and it will take a long time for the course to recover from it. The staff this year is far bett now that a certain someone doesn't work there anymore. They are much friendlier and more professional. Great life really needs to put some money into the public courses such as painted hills and shilo in platte city they have really let them go. If they don't start addressing the issues on the course eventually they will not be able to recover from the damage that they are letting happen. It seems to be a pattern for great life to put money into the courses that dont really need it before the courses they own that really need more maintenance and repairs. I played at Hodge park which is not a great life course and the three guys I was paired up with said in there own words is is like playing on a country club compared to there lowered tier courses. I hope the owner of great life reads this and realizes what he's doing to courses that used to be decent compared to what they have become. It really shows what kind of company they are making of themselves. In my own opinion it seems that they are putting money in the courses that have a higher annual...

It was ok. Far from good, not absolutely terrible. It’s pretty damn expensive for the quality of the course though. We went out last Sunday. This was the first day to stay in the 80s and not in the 100s in roughly three weeks. And they closed the front nine for maintenance. Lucky we were on ten but it meant everyone on the course was now shoved to the back nine. This was at noon, on the nicest day in three weeks on a Sunday. Who made that decision?!

The greens are not great. The course it’s self is ok. Kind of tight.

There are hardly any signs. we got lost no less than 3 times. It’s laid out in a way that makes very little sense. The tea boxes don’t show a picture of the whole so sometimes your showing blind with really no idea if your aiming in the right direction. It’s not a big thing, but it’s annoying and lazy, and I feel it’s a good representation of the course as a whole.

If the course cost maybe half of what it does, it would be fine. But at the coast per round it is, it’s not worth it. I wouldn’t recommend and won’t...
