Wichita Country Club is a private 18-hole golf course located in Wichita, Kansas. Founded in 1900 by golf enthusiasts, the club originally had a 9-hole course in what is now College Hill Park. In 1913, it moved to what is today MacDonald's Golf Course before settling at its current Rock Road and 13th Street location in 1950.
The centerpiece of Wichita Country Club is its 18-hole, par-71 golf course designed by William H. Diddel. Since 1950, the lush 6,814 yard course with tranquil ponds and streams has earned acclaim as one of Wichita's finest. It features a driving range, putting greens, a golf shop, and a course rating of 73.8 with a slope of 133.
The longest hole is #16, a 546-yard par-5. The shortest is #11 at 173 yards (par 3). Number 2 is a challenging 413-yard par-4 and rated the #1 handicap hole. Conversely, hole 11 is considered the easiest. From the back tees, Wichita CC plays 6,814 yards with a par of 71. The forward tees shorten it to 5,390 yards.
