Falcon Lakes Golf Club sits in Basehor, a small city on the western edge of the Kansas City metro, close enough to draw golfers from both the Missouri and Kansas sides of the state line but far enough out that the rounds here feel removed from the urban sprawl. The Leavenworth County landscape — gently rolling prairie with open sky in every direction — is classic northeastern Kansas, and the course makes good use of the natural terrain rather than fighting it.
The name points to the water features woven through the layout, and the combination of lakes and Kansas wind is a reliable test of course management. Picking the right club and the right line matters here more than brute distance.
Basehor's golf scene is modest and unpretentious, and Falcon Lakes fits that character well — a course that serves its community without pretension, accessible to everyday players while still rewarding those who think their way around. For visitors passing through the KC metro corridor, it's a solid regional option with a genuine sense of place.
