Wichita showcases some of the most beautiful municipal courses in the midwest. A trip to the area is not complete without bringing your sticks and playing one of the area courses.

Auburn Hills Golf Course
The newest City course, Auburn Hills, opened for play on May 24, 2001. This Perry Dye designed course is one of the finest municipal courses in the region. It offers a combination of play through scenic wetlands areas and corridor golf through a new upscale residential development.
