About the Course
It was May 1, 2000, that golfing celebrities Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd, Annika Sorenstam and Deb Richard joined their host, K-Stater Jim Colbert, for the opening drives, chips and putts on the Colbert Hills Golf Course. Now 20 years later, the facility is recognized as Kansas' premier public golf layout by Golf Digest, while Golf & Leisure and Maximum Golf have recognized Colbert Hills as one of the top 100 golf values in the United States. In 2010 a $5.5 million clubhouse was dedicated to complete Colbert's "world class golf course" vision. 

Roughly 375,00 rounds have been played on the championship course since it opened, plus another 75,000 on the Par 3 Course. The signature hole of Colbert Hills is the 600-yard No. 7 that includes a 90-foot drop from the tee to fairway with white premium sand bunkers decorating the stretch of green zoysia fairway all the way to the bent grass green. Each hole has five different tees while the greens average 10,000 square feet.
