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.

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.

Colbert Hills has hosted the 2002 Big 12 Women's Championship, the 2003 NCAA Men's Central Regional and the 2005 Kansas Men's Amateur Championship. The Adams Golf Tour has hosted the Colbert Charity Classic every year since 2011.

While proud of the course, Colbert is also quick to recognize that the facility is a "living laboratory." It is Audubon Silver Signature certified, a K-State teaching and turf research facility and host to the National First Tee Academy.
