Elkhart, Kansas

Hidden in the Southwest Corner of Kansas you will find Point Rock Golf Club. Point Rock is the newest of the nine-hole golf courses that have been built in Southwest Kansas. Point Rock get its name from the Point of Rocks area Northwest of the City of Elkhart in the Cimarron National Grasslands.

Morton Countians are the new owners of the golf course and have totally rebuilt it. The project, which started in July of 1998, has brought a new state of the art irrigation system to water the new Bentgrass Greens and Bluegrass Fairways. The lay out of the new course is drastically different than that of the old course. With holes four and five built over a runway of the near by airport to help with the congestion problems that hindered the old course. Four Green built just 30 yards from Oklahoma gives the golfer the opportunity to hit his or her ball clear out of the state. The addition to the pond that brought us the signature hole, maybe the most dramatic par 3 in Southwest Kansas, a 181-yard forced carry over water with a retaining wall just in front of the green that will challenger any player. Point Rock will play 3200 yards from the back tees and 2616 from the front tees giving golfers any ability a challenge.

Over 50,000 yards of topsoil was moved to build all new greens, tee boxes and mounds. The course also offers seventeen bunker's and native rough to grab any miss hit shot. They also have added new cart paths and a clubhouse.
