Loch Lloyd
The Country Club at Loch Lloyd golf course is a Tom Watson Signature Design which is laid out within a large real estate development. Situated 25 miles south of downtown Kansas City, it first opened for play in 1990.

The larger portion of Kansas City is, ironically, in Missouri, hugging the border of the state that provided its name. Loch Lloyd is in a similar geographic position, but the title reservoir is within Missouri borders.
Although no holes at this Tom Watson design actually bring Lloyd into play, the obvious physical implications that come with damming up such a body of water means players will experience significant altitude change during the front nine, starting at the lake-level clubhouse before working its way down into the Mill Creek “valley” below.
This is an old-fashioned out and back course, traveling the full route before heading back to the clubhouse. The final return, however, climbing back up the clubhouse, with a green alongside an impressive waterfall feature to its immediate right, is a fine piece of punctuation on a fine day of golf.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
