Golf in Oak Grove

Oak Grove is a Lafayette County community east of Kansas City on I-70, a community in Kansas City's suburban eastern ring that balances agricultural heritage with residential development. The prairie bent oak trees that give the community its name reflect the natural landscape before Euro-American settlement, and the course's name honors this natural heritage. Lafayette County's position in the productive Missouri River agricultural corridor creates the farming context that surrounds the suburban development. The county seat's role as a commercial and governmental hub ensures that recreational infrastructure like golf courses receives the community investment appropriate to a center serving the surrounding rural population.
