Event Information.

Each summer, Crestview Country Club opens its doors to welcome the Wichita Open. Crestview Country Club, founded in 1921, moved to its present location in 1969 and is the only 36-hole country club in Kansas. Both courses were designed by the legendary golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones.

The Wichita Open enters its 37th year and will be played on Crestview’s 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.

Perhaps the most memorable and famous feature of the Wichita Open is the Michelob Ultra Corner located at the 17th green, featuring VIP chalets and a unique festive atmosphere. Each day the 17th green chalets draw 3,000 to 4,000 spectators a day.

Tournament Play begins at approximately 7:00am and ends between 5:00 and 6:00pm on Thursday and Friday.  On Saturday and Sunday, play begins around 7:00am and ends between 3:00 and 4:00pm.

CRESTVIEW COUNTRY CLUB

Crestview Country Club has a broad history of excellence in Wichita.  Founded in 1921, by three local businessmen on 160 acres between 17th and 21st, and Fairmount College and Oliver. They platted out the golf course, then fenced the greens to protect them from cattle that rightfully roamed the area. The remaining buffalo and surrounding wild grasses contributed to the natural appeal of the original golf course.

The spirit of Crestview remained strong through World War II, the Great Depression, a fire that destroyed the original Clubhouse, the move to its current location in 1969, and many other events throughout its history.  Most recently the exclusive Member-Owned Club was purchased by Concert Golf Partners in the summer of 2016 allowing the Club to flourish with newly infused capital and improvements of over $3 million in the last few years.

Concert Golf Partners has reinvigorated the outstanding Club of years past and has joined over 300 new families since the purchase just over 2 years ago and all Members enjoy a NO ASSESSMENT GUARANTEE with their Membership.  Crestview Country Club has remained, over the years, the finest of clubs.   Boasting the only 36 hole Private Country Club in the state of Kansas, and designed with the family in mind, Crestview provides its members the highest standard of excellence in social, business entertaining, and family activities.
