Don't expect anything to actually be safe here. Clubs were stolen and their cameras don't actually capture anything because they have awful landscaping that covers every camera. Golf literally anywhere else. read more

had my clubs stolen out of the backseat of my truck before the round. Trees blocked the cameras looking into the lot. I suggest you get those fix, so you guys dont have the same thing happen read more

I had my golf clubs stolen out of my truck after my round I returned the cart and went inside for about 20 to 25 minutes came back out and everything was gone after asking around I have found out that this isn't the first time this has happened on this course. No cameras in the parking lot or cameras pointed towards the parking lot. There is a thief that sits there in a Blue Mercedes and waits on people to return the cart or go inside..They do this here because they know there are no cameras! Owner could've cared less Never again read more

My sons had a tee time on the books for a couple of days but we had come in from out of state and wanted to try and golf with them which would require another cart for my wife and one of their girlfriends since everyone was trying to stick together before we left town. We called beforehand, several hours prior to our tee time to ask if we could pay for a cart to have the extra two ride along and were told they didnt have any carts available due to being booked up but that circumstances could change and that we could check back. We called back a second time about 1.5 hours prior to the tee time again and were told the same thing so we planned to check again at the clubhouse. While waiting in a short line to talk to the clubhouse employee to check-in and to ask about the cart situation, the conversation between the female employee and the group ahead was off-putting since the employee immediately told the group (who had a tee time) that they didnt have a cart for them. The gentleman who was accompanied by his young son and his son's friend (9-11yrs old) responded that they were walking. The employee immediately replied "you're my best friend" or something to that effect to which the customer did not respond to, most likely because he detected the employee's rude/unbalanced and unprofessional behavior. I quickly moved myself in position to be helped with the other employee (an older guy) and hoped to avoid her. As I stood waiting to be helped by the other person, the interaction between the father/son/friend and the first employee continued due to the inquisition that took place regarding their tee time, reservation and the inability to find the third reservation (for a 10yo kid who was walking) which had spilled over to the other employee's computer system and prevented him from welcoming us to their establishment. Once that was resolved, we were asked for our tee time which was given promptly. I asked if we could get another cart for a cart fee due to the circumstances and was told they were out of carts and that would not be possible. I told my group I would not be golfing and would instead be leaving town to allow for the local group to golf and enjoy their time together but wanted to stick around and watch them a bit on the driving range since we were there already. I made my way to the bar across the hall and got a beer. Got the beer and saw my son making his way back out of the clubhouse area shaking his head. When I met him back outside with the whole group, he said that the clubhouse employee only gave them one key although they had paid for two carts which is why he was on his way back out from the clubhouse. The key that was given to him at this time did not work in any of the available carts due to the course having two types of carts and the key was not made for the brand available. Another golfer in the area (or possibly the Starter?) informed my son that the key he had would not work so another patron offered his key for the cart that was available and my son accepted. The female clubhouse employee made her way outside asking what key she gave (in a rude and authoritative manner), and my son explained that another person swapped keys to allow for him to use the available cart. She was visibly annoyed and dismissively tossed the key to the cart attendant and made her way back inside. Although upset over the situation and not understanding the attitude displayed by the clubhouse employee, my sons decided to still play and made their way to the driving range to hit some balls before their round. My wife and I followed on foot and stood by their cart while talking with one of their girlfriends. Five minutes pass and then we see the older male clubhouse employee trotting toward us. He begins dialogue with us in a confrontational manner and states, "this isn't gonna work, you all aren't registered to play." I tell him we arent playing golf, as stated inside, and we are just there to watch them hit some balls before leaving town. He then doubles down on us trying to play while not paying all while I'm standing there on the cement away from the others who are on driving range. I have no clubs, wearing flip flops and holding a beer in hand. He replied, "Im trying to operate a golf course!" I informed him his employee's attitude and behavior (and now his!) should be his first concern. He then tells me I am acting like a horse's ass and being a dick (when it was his misunderstanding and his unwillingness to swallow his pride). I let him know that I didnt understand why he made his way out there in the first place and told him he had nothing to worry about, because I would never golf there in the future due to him and his coworker's unwarranted behavior. read more

This course is the definition of squeezing every penny out of patrons for the bare minimum service provided. 8 minutes between tee times, inconsistent policies, allowing some groups to wait on the 1st tee 5 minutes past their time for a friend while rushing people making the turn as they wait for 2 groups in front of them to tee off. I'd estimate the average IQ of the staff at roughly 80, just enough to function but not enough to make anything worthwhile. The course isn't in terrible shape, but 70$+ is a joke for this course even in primetime. The only time I play this course is when I can't find any tee times at another, and even then I'm wary about coming here. read more

Great course they keep it in great condition but DONT ever play on a holiday or peak hours unless you like to be disrespected by the marshal. We had to wait atleast 10 minutes between holes and the marshal comes up and says we need to hurry up and go ahead and hit into them it's not like u can't hit it that far anyways. Then we hit and the group in front of us gets mad because we hit into them. Sick of these courses not spreading out tee times and acting like it's our fault when it's backed up. Would give 4-5 stars if marshal knew how to be respectful. read more

This is a great little course to play in the KC Metro area. Met some friends here for an early round of golf on a Saturday. Prices were fair and greens were good. Like anywhere, during peak times they will be busy but we try to hit the greens early so there is less time spent waiting on others. Definitely would recommend checking them out if in the area. read more

Perfect 9 hole course, that was challenging and beautiful. I took my 13 year old nephew golfing and we had a blast

Course is all in excellent condition. I have never had a bad interaction with the staff they are always friendly and helpful. The nine hole executive course is great for beginners or for those looking to brush up on the short game. Overall I've never had a bad experience on this course, I would definitely recommend for players of all levels. read more

My friend and I went to the driving range and picked up a bucket of balls. While we filled up the bucket a old man came up to us and told me that my outfit was unacceptable. I was wearing a golf skirt and shorter tank top. There is no visible dress code and therefore they can not dictate what customers at a public golf course wear. He said " I will let it slide this time". He appeared out of no where and it felt very creepy. He did not even introduce himself as a employee but we found out he was a general manager. This behavior is inappropriate, it was 80 degrees out. read more

What a horrible experience. The guys in the pro shop were rude. Guess cuz I'm a single golfer and a woman? Played behind three pathetic men who played a scramble from the red tees. Would not let me play through. The "marshal" told me to skip some holes. He wasn't about to suggest to the men to let me play through. Absolutely horrible!! read more

Awesome place. I always have a great time when I come here. It's open to the public and very well kept. read more

Enjoyed the course. Nice layout. Staff was friendly. Thought the price was fair for how nice it is. I will play again sometime soon! read more

These workers were extremely unprofessional, rude as well. This was a horrible experience. I would never recomend this course at all! Also, an old gentlemen stole my ball and I was sure that I hit my ball right outside the green. read more

One of my favorite in the area. Great layout, challenging and a lot of fun! The one downside is there isn't a lot of shade on the course which can make a hot day on the course miserable. However, the send the cart girl around frequently so we can beat the heat. I recommend this course to everyone I know. read more

I have played this course a many times, usually with positive results, but whomever the new management is has really let it go to hell. No starter, allowing walkers with no tee-times to go out before people in carts with a tee-time, multiple 2-somes instead of filling up a tee-slot with 4 golfers, in the middle of the hottest part of the day, dry and brown greens like putting on a parking lot, dry and brown fairways, and to make matters worse, the indifference of the staff, we were actually given a smart-ass reply to the line of 2-somes waiting to go off at the same time, knowing full well it would lengthen our day by quite a bit. I was told "You'll get your 18 in" by the young man in totally indifference. It was 105 degrees outside and they were sitting in their ac just laughing behind our backs. No marshall out on the course trying to keep the play at a decent pace, and NONE of the golfers that we were on their ass for 18 holes, starting on Hole 1, because they were A. Slow B. Walking C. Bad Golfers, NONE of them allowed us to play through as is the courtesy on any other golf course in the country. My partner and I both agreed, we will never be back, and will encourage others to stay away as well. Too bad, this was at one time a fairly nice place to play. read more

I don't understand what's going on at this great golf course. Management is horrible. I believe his name is Grant. No people skills and is not friendly at all. I will not be coming back here unless things change here. This is bad for business here in Independence. How did he get this job?!!! Staff there needs a lot of improvement. But I blame all this on the new manager Grant. Lead by example? Now look. Everyone is acting like they hate their job. Today I was playing there and I had to change golf carts 3 times. WTH is wring with this picture. A buddy I played with there (he's a member) said this is normal. They had to do this all the time. He changes carts at the turn so that they wouldn't get stranded out in the middle of the course. Great Life??? More like Not so Great Life the way the staff acts here. I'm just warning you here. Hopefully thing will change here for the new season coming up. The only reason why they have 1 star is because you have to put 1 post the review. read more

Fast, family friendly golf! Genuinely nice staff accommodating your every need. Facility is very clean, food was wonderful!

Descent course.. Its been consistent over the years. However, they have an issue with their cart batteries constantly dying. The last 3 times I played there I needed to switch carts 3 times WOW... I can understand switching carts maybe once but 3 time in one round... Be prepared to switch carts for now it is inevitable. It died on hole 2 yesterday then hole 11 and finally on hole 17. Good luck speaking to management about it. Management has been there less than a year which would explain a lot. Not very friendly and everyone points fingers. I feel bad for Members! Wont be going back anytime soon. I hate having to post this, but it's getting out of hand. read more

Recently I rented a space from them for a family get together & Drumm farm golf club staff made the day perfect. Not only was the rent reasonable but the staff was extremely helpful especially for me being from out of town. They were very accommodating with setting up the room and during the specific reception setup. They were not overbearing--just there when you needed them & not around when you didn't need anything. I am so pleased with Drumm Farm Golf Club--I'll contact them first if I ever need a room again--even though I don't play golf! read more

Greens were horrible. The service in the clubhouse was atrocious. Also there were groups with 5 and 6 players. Just a horrible place.

Staff was rude and on drugs! One of them almost ran me over! Didn't stop! Didn't say sorry! Just laughed! I will never go there again. You can smell pot, even saw the grounds keeper smoking it. read more

Be careful if you get a membership here. Your membership will automatically renew each April 1. After March 31 you will be unable to cancel for another full year regardless of how long you've been a member. This was never mentioned to us when we joined, but was written in small print in the contract along with "I will abide by golf club guidelines etc...". I just attempted to cancel my membership and was told I had to wait almost another full year since I didn't cancel prior to the last day of March. I offered to continue paying for 3 more months until I was at my 1 year anniversary but it was a no go. I was told it was a corporate contract that all 29 of their golf clubs use and we couldn't get out of it until March 31, 2017. Although many fitness and golf clubs have similar policies, it is just bad business to hold members hostage when the services are no longer wanted. By the way, our contract also specifies we get free range balls, but our sons were told the last two times they went that free range balls are no longer included. Hmmmmm...... read more
