History
For many years, Woodland Hills Golf Course was a private country club that went by the name Fort Scott Country Club. Because of some difficult economic times in Fort Scott, the country club also began to suffer financially and fell into deep disrepair. In 2012, the City of Fort Scott and many gracious donors stepped in and purchased the course, renaming it Woodland Hills Golf Course. At the time of the City’s purchase, only 8 holes of the 18 were open and playable, and the 100-year-old Clubhouse was in need of much repair.
Golf Course Management Team
Woodland Hills Golf Course is managed by Dustin Fowler. He has over 12 years of experience at Woodland Hills and brings vast knowledge to the operations of the course. His passion for the Golf Course is easily seen by his hard work and commitment to making sure all aspects are being done right and for the benefit of the course. The grounds crew is supervised by Tyler Cook. Tyler and his team work year-round to keep the grounds pristine and the greens vibrant. Our clubhouse is supervised by Paul Wilson. Paul and his team bring the clubhouse to life with their friendly, fun and welcoming personalities. They work hard to provide a comfortable atmosphere for the public to come enjoy themselves and the course. Together, they have made Woodland Hills Golf Course one of the best public courses in Southeast Kansas. The course is 6100 yards from the back tees and features a very challenging layout with undulating bent grass greens and plush Bermuda grass fairways.
New Clubhouse
Also in the spring of 2016, the City of Fort Scott, in conjunction with Fort Scott Community College and many donors, built a new clubhouse and demolished the old. The new building features a large back patio that looks out onto the 9th green and the putting green.
