Set about 15 miles east of Wichita on the western edge of the Flint Hills prairie, this Tom Fazio design makes the most of gently rolling ground, sweeping native grasses, and a winding water feature that threads through the property. Wide zoysia fairways offer plenty of room from the tee, but they’re bordered by punishing bluegrass rough, and the pace quickens on fast, boldly contoured greens that often spill across multiple tiers. Natural-looking bunkers blend seamlessly into the open prairie backdrop, while a walkable, 7,000-plus-yard layout—unusual for featuring five par 3s—brings players alongside native wildlife throughout the round. Owned by devoted amateur-golf supporter Tom Devlin, Flint Hills has also earned a championship pedigree, hosting three USGA national championships along with a steady slate of top-level amateur events.
