Hello April. As tradition says, “April showers bring May flowers”, let this month kick off the spring season we have all been waiting for.
Loch Lloyd Country Club and the Saddle and Sirloin Club are pleased to announce they have reached an agreement to reestablish a reciprocal use plan between the two organizations for 2023. We believe the program to be one of the best in the area and an exceptional value for members of each club.
While the new arrangement does have slightly different terms, the basic provisions remain the same and are open to all Loch Lloyd Full Golf Members and certain membership levels at Saddle and Sirloin. The reciprocal agreement will be evaluated by each club and up for renewal annually. Members who desire to use the reciprocal arrangement in 2023 should reach out to their club management and will be provided with a new packet of information to review and sign.
This is a great opportunity for members to add variety to their dining experiences and we look forward to serving you in the coming year.
As you dive further into this month's newsletter, you'll soon find our full events calendar filled with happenings that will cater to everyone in your family. Stay in the know of all the exciting events we will soon have to offer by joining our Private Member Facebook Group Please follow the link below to request to join.
I would like to introduce all our new members here at the Club. I encourage you to give them a Loch Lloyd welcome. We are happy you are here!

Spring is in the air… trees are blooming, lawns are getting greener, baseball’s back and let’s not forget about the Masters. April is typically the month where golf starts to pick up here at Loch Lloyd as well. Many of you will kick the dust of your clubs and our “snowbirds” start returning bringing more action to the club as the month advances.
It’s time to sign up for this year’s Pride Club membership. The Pride Club is Loch Lloyd Country Club’s Golf Shop “merchandise club”. Your $200 investment goes straight to your credit book, and you begin the instant savings. 10% off all hard goods, 20% off apparel and a one-time 40% off apparel only purchase It pays to be a Pride Club member! Don’t forget, the golf shop matches all prices and already has the lowest golf ball pricing in the area.
As we start to slowly warm up and more people start playing golf again, please respect your fellow members and the golf course itself by pairing up on golf carts. Pairing up puts far less stress on the golf course because cart traffic is minimized and believe it or not, pairing up also helps control pace of play.
Be on the lookout for emails regarding Golf Club Fitting Days. These fitting days are a great way for you to get a personalized “fine-tuned” fitting. The Golf Professionals will be on the range along with representatives from the club manufacturers.
Finally, I hope you have all had a chance to look at the 2023 Golf Calendar. Its jam packed with all of our traditional events along with many more fun and fantastic events Let’s have a great season and I can’t wait to see all of you playing more golf.
Play ready golf and see you on the first tee,
All members are invited to join us on Saturday, April 8th for a great day of golf on “Moving Day” at the Masters. This is a unique and fun way to enjoy a round of golf, no matter what time of the day you are playing. Everyone that participates will play their own ball. Here is the fun part…. before play each participant will choose a professional playing in the Masters and combine his Sunday score with your Saturday Net score Those two combined scores will be your final tournament score. Flights will be determined by which set of tees you play. Winners will be announced Tuesday morning and Golf Shop credits will be applied to your account Cost of the event is $20
The Scotty is currently sold out with a waiting list. All players who participate in the Scotty will receive one (1) complimentary Guest Pass to be used during 2023. We look forward to another great event beginning with the Calcutta Party on May 18th and two days of golf on May 19th and 20th. Don’t forget to block your Sunday off as well, in the event of a rain out on either Friday or Saturday, we will finish the event on Sunday, May 21st. Good luck to all players who are scheduled to play.
Throughout the season we will be hosting multiple Fitting Days and our first couple are scheduled in April. Join Callaway on Saturday, April 15th, from 11:00 AM -3:00 PM. REMEMBER to take advantage of the Pride Club for discounts on all of your purchases on demo days
Start thinking about who you would like to partner up with for the 2023 Four-Ball Match Play Tournament. Entries close on April 29th with the event beginning on Tuesday, May 2nd.
This is a great event for you and a friend to play competitive team golf. The cost to enter the event is $60 per player. The more teams that sign up, the more flights can be created.
Individual Match Play will have the same entry requirements as Four-Ball. Entries close on April 29th with the event starting on May 2nd.

Spring has arrived as we are excited to welcome warm weather and golfers back to the course! Prior to turning the corner to the busy golf season, I want to highlight some of our most recent winter course enhancement projects. Over the winter months we put emphasis on evaluating ways to improve the golf course and member experience. Below is an update of some our most recent course enhancement projects.
We recently constructed a rock stairway leading up to the gold tee surface on hole #18. Assistant Superintendent, Stephen Wilds did a great job shaping and installing this feature. These rock steps match the previously installed rock stairway leading to the black tee surface also located on hole #18.
Drainage was installed last winter on holes #3 & 10 to eliminate wet fairway areas which provided great results We have again started installing drainage to problem areas on holes #1,3,9 & 17. These holes were chosen due to having extensive problematic areas and/or traffic flow limitations due to the wet conditions. We will continue to evaluate adding fairway drainage throughout the property to enhance playing conditions.
Spring greens aerification is scheduled for March 27th & 28th. The course will be closed during the greens aerification process.
We thank you for your patience when performing course enhancement projects as we remain committed to providing Loch Lloyd Country Club with the best golfing experience in Kansas City.Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns at grants@lochlloyd.com
