Anyone Play Canyon Farms near Kansas City

[Tom the Golf Nut]

I'm looking for a little insight on Canyon Farms Golf Club in Lenexa KS. I looked at the website and hole layouts. I am heading up there for a golf tournament on the 20th. I won't have the opportunity for a practice round. What I can't tell is the normal stuff like:

Fairways, flat or sloped

Fairway width, wide ,narrow, or tree-lined 

Green speed, fast or slow

Bunkers,  compact hard sand or soft fluffy.

Any info would be great.

I played there a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it had rained for a week straight prior to my visit so it was really soft. Not a ton of elevation change but enough to make you think and maybe a blind shot or two with elevated greens if I recall. Greens were slow but that may have had more to do with all the rain. The fairways were very generous and not many trees to worry about. The bunkers were soaked so really hard to judge but the course seemed really well maintained so I’d guess they’d be nice and fluffy under normal playing conditions.

I think my college buddy joined there and if you really want the inside scoop I can reach out to him if you’d like? Sorry I don’t have more insight but it was a fraternity reunion when I played there and beers were going down quickly that day.

Thats ok, you don't have to reach out. Its a 4 man team event. We should always have something good in play. I just like being  prepared.

I found a complete course fly over on YouTube. All set.  Looks short but very challenging.
