Beautiful, traditional golf course with a rich history! My Dad and drove up from NW Arkansas just to play this course and we had a blast! Dubs Dread is one of multiple courses that are under the Maxim Golf Solutions umbrella of courses. If you are ever in the Kansas City area I would highly recommend it.

This is a great golf course and the staff is amazing. I showed up yesterday not knowing my friend booked the tee time on a different day. Paul at the front desk was amazing and still got us on the course. Thank you!

100% a must play course for the Kansas City area, THE diamond in the rough. Not a very well known of course, but still top tier. Everything about this course was great. Clubhouse was a great layout, helpful and informative staff. Nice selection of stuff in the shop that isn't over priced. Carts were in good shape. Driving range was alright, plenty of room. Chipping and putting greens were a huge highlight for me here, great condition, large area. Course was very well laid out and in great shape for the spring we had. Very challenging, highly recommend.

Nice and moderately challenging course. Fairways are decently wide. However don't let that fool you. There are several holes with blinds so wide fairways comes in real handy. Food selection is decent as were the drink options. A little disappointed they had no Ciders but the mixed drink options were sufficient. The course looked to be well maintained.

Had Blackened Chicken, cottage cheese, green beans, and salad. It was good and almost more than I could eat. A minor comment is that the cheese on the chicken was not melted. The raspberry vinegarette dressing on my salad was very good.

Course is in excellent shape but some low, wet spots made for an interesting time on some holes. Clubhouse service was good and overall pace of play was normal. Back 9 has some picturesque and challenging holes. I really like the GPS and Bluetooth on the carts.

This was the first time I had played the course and I really enjoyed it. The course was in beautiful shape for the middle of October. Greens were fast and true and the rough was still thick. It’s a tough test, but never overly difficult. Definitely a second shot course. The fairways are roomy but the greens are on the smaller side. Good iron play is a must.

Bar and grill was perfect. Pro shop has everything needed. Loved the scenic views and blooming trees. I will be back! Cool people whack balls here!!!

Challenging but very enjoyable course that rewards hitting it straight. Great staff across the board who are friendly and want you to enjoy the experience. The food is great and the new summer menu will be missed! Also best hot dogs in the city

$70 for a good golf cart and a dry ass course you can’t even tee up on. Then on top of it get yelled at for pace of play in between 9’s when we’re literally on the asses of the group ahead of us. Decent but not worth the headache.

Thank you to the two Marshalls that were working the course 11/14 midday and Landon for taking care of my family when we were at the course. We had a great round and we are excited to return.

The food here was surprisingly good, and the course itself was in decent shape. That said, everything was hard as a rock, making it tough to even tee anything up. The biggest issue was the staff. They were overly concerned and extremely rude about our two tee times combining into a 7-some (even though 3 of the guys were only chipping and putting). Meanwhile, they ignored the three groups of four in front of us crawling along at a snail’s pace. For what this place charges—$70+—it’s just not worth it. I’d value it more in the $30–$40 range. Between the unreasonably high price and the rude staff…
