Indian Hills Golf Course | Chapman, Kansas

Although I don't live in Kansas anymore, I've still got some great courses lined up to review, including Indian Hills Golf Course in Chapman, Kansas. This course, however, is unlike almost all of the other courses I've reviewed because it is truly a small town golf course. You won't see any signs that women aren't allowed to play golf, that pants are required, or even that jean shorts aren't allowed! It is the kind of course where you can truly get out, let your hair down, and play a pretty fun little golf course. Hunker down for a great golf course review.

The first thing you notice when pulling up to the golf course is that it truly is a municipal golf course - the roads are gravel! Once you get to the clubhouse, you might be surprised to find that it serves multiple purposes. If I remember correctly it is also used as a meeting house for some things, and they might even rent out some space to other business (they weren't open when I was there). Needless to say, this is a bare bones clubhouse. I don't even think they had any equipment. They did have logo balls, and, as you might expect, the beer was dirt cheap!

The staff was very courteous, even though they had no idea who we were (we live in the town over). In some cases, you might expect a little hostility to the out of town folk. But they were nothing but kind and courteous. Maybe we caught them on a good day!

The first thing you'll notice about Indian Hills Golf Course is the lack of trees. I think it was cut out of a wheat field or something, so there is no trouble, and no shade in those hot summers. The scorecard shows the distances to the holes (it is a relatively short course, depending on which way the wind is blowing, and it can really howl out there), but I didn't find them to be very accurate. If you come here, you definitely want to bring your golf GPS. With it you'll have no problem knowing how far you need to hit your golf ball.

The condition of the course was decent considering where we were. The fairways were a little thin and the greens a little slow, but for $30 (golf AND cart!) I couldn't complain. Even made a couple of long putts if I remember correctly. Overall Indian Hills Golf Course was a fun little course.

If you are ever in Chapman, Kansas, check out Indian Hills Golf Course. It won't knock your socks off, but it will definitely get that golf fix you're looking for (if, for example, you're travelling across the country).
