Overview
Located fifteen miles east of Wichita on the western perimeter of its namesake Flint Hills prairie region, Tom Fazio incorporated gently rolling terrain, prairie grasses, and a meandering body of water into the design. The course features generous zoysia fairways flanked by penal bluegrass rough, with fast, highly contoured greens broken into multiple tiers and a naturalistic bunker style that matches the broad prairie environment. Stretching over 7000 yards with five par 3s, the highly walkable routing shows off a variety of native wildlife. Owner Tom Devlin is a fervent supporter of amateur golf, and Flint Hills has hosted three USGA national championships and a variety of other amateur competitions.

“Nice Tom Fazio course. I don't think it would get the accolades it receives if it were closer to a major city. #18 is a really bad finisher."

Review
“Good Tom Fazio design with lots of design variety. Some of the fairways are very tight and slope toward the rough where the bluegrass is very penal. It is also a very pretty course with some water and woods. The log clubhouse and cottages are special and the staff is unusually friendly and competent."
