KC Golf Classic at Blue Hills
You don’t often hear the word homerun when discussing golf. But that is the word Drew Van Meeter, executive director of the Kansas City Golf Classic, used to describe the PGA’s experience with its new golf venue, Blue Hills Country Club, 777 W. Burning Tree Dr.

“Blue Hills is fantastic,” he says. “It’s an absolutely perfect scenario for the PGA.”
Previously, the tournament was held at Lion’s Gate in Overland Park.
The KC Golf Classic is part of the Web.com Tour, a developmental circuit in which the top 25 players earn PGA Tour memberships for the next season. It is the area’s only pro golf tournament.

The defending champion is Sepp Straka who walked away with a $120,000 purse last year.
Tickets to view the event start at $10.
