Mission Hills Country Club
The championship 6,454-yard Par 70 layout has challenged golfers of all abilities since the Club's inception in 1914 and remains one of the area's most prized and time-tested designs. Its original layout is the work of one of the most prolific course architects in America's history, Tom Bendelow. The Scot is credited with the design of more than five hundred golf courses, including East Lake and Medinah. Bendelow took a "naturist" approach to the site, seeking to take full advantage of its natural features: sheer rock outcroppings, steep slopes and gentle grades that rose along Brush Creek and its tributaries. In 2007, a fully renovated course opened to members. It was the work of Keith Foster, author of renovations at storied clubs and major championship venues like Southern Hills and Colonial. Foster's plan added a signature clubhouse par 3 and yielded spectacular Mission Hills Country Club requires a golfer's undivided attention across the property.
