The Course
Crestview Country Club, a Concert Golf Partners property, is the current home of the Wichita Open. Founded in 1921, Crestview is the only 36-hole country club in state of Kansas and features two dramatic parkland style; mature tree-lined, 18-Hole Robert Trent Jones designed golf courses.
The Wichita Open will be played on the North Course, which carries a slope of 131 and a 74.3 course rating from the black tees. This course, measuring 6,913 yards, is a very good test. If the wind blows, watch out! All of the three pars, which average over 200 yards, play directly into the predominant south wind. Water comes into play on 11 of the 18 holes.
