Couples' Program
Throughout the summer, Nicklaus Golf Club hosts Couples’ Golf once a month, leading up to our Couples’ Club Championship, and Couples’ Glow Ball in the fall.
Women’s Program
Nicklaus Golf Club has an established Ladies’ Golf Association with an 18-hole and 9-hole division. Members can enjoy formal and informal guest days, WGAKC play days, a Four Ball tournament, and a Ladies Member-Guest and Member-Member tournament each season. During the summer we host a Ladybugs golf clinic, designed for beginning lady golfers. This is a great way to ease your way into golf in a low-pressure environment with other beginners! We also offer Ladies Crush It, a monthly series for those that want to home in on their short game and other specific areas of their game. This one-on-one class style is ideal for intermediate/advanced ladies who want to lower their handicap!
Men’s Program
We have a full calendar of men’s events throughout the season, including weekly 9-hole leagues designed to help golfers unwind midweek and meet new people in a relaxed golf environment. In addition, we host men’s guest days, a Four Ball tournament, Bigley intermural matches, and a Men’s Member-Guest and Member-Member tournament.
Juniors Program
Nicklaus Golf Club has a very active junior program. We host PGA Junior League in two 3-month sessions in the spring/summer, and summer/fall. Juniors learn the basics of golf mechanics, etiquette, and good sportsmanship in a variety of formats such as match play and individual stroke play.
Winter Programming
With our two Trackman simulators, you don’t have to lose your swing over winter break! We have a fun schedule of winter programming including leagues for ladies, men, and juniors as well as regular tee times.
Tournaments
We provide Members some of the most exciting golf tournaments around. Here, you’ll play challenging rounds, meet fellow Members and, with any luck, win some great prizes.

About Robert
I am originally from Chicago. I am an avid sports fan and love the Cubs, Blackhawks and of course my Jayhawks. I wanted to expand my horizons after high school and decided to leave the state of Illinois and attend the University of Kansas. After college I joined the banking world for about 5 years then left and took a financial job for about 2-3 years. I decided to join Lionsgate Golf Club due to my passion for golf. If I am not with my wife or dog during my free time, you will find me at the range working on my laughable slice or playing a round of golf.
