2016 Courses
Friday, July 22nd, 2016: Paradise Pointe Golf Course
Saturday, July 23rd, 2016: Shoal Creek Golf Club
Sunday, July 24th, 2016: Painted Hills Golf Club
In an effort to keep from repeating the same courses over and over, we are once again traveling a little bit this year to play. Paradise Pointe is in Smithville, MO on the northern edge of the metro area near the airport. The main draw is that they have 36 holes and we WILL play each course once. Shoal Creek is in Kansas City but it is on the extreme northeast corner of the city near Liberty, MO. Painted Hills is in Kansas City, Kansas about 5 minutes east of the Legends/Kansas Speedway area (it is right next to Kansas City Kansas Community College).
This year the courses were chosen with the intent to get 4 courses in 3 days (the 2 separate 18-hole courses on Friday) while also getting a really nice course (Shoal Creek) followed by what should be an easier Sunday course. I've been told that Painted Hills has undergone significant work in the past 2 years but I've never played it myself.
Like 2015, The Hank Invitational has never graced any of these courses with its presence.
