Smiley’s Golf Complex

First time playing here and was super nice value. I was able to walk one as a single and played 2 balls since no one within two holes behind or in front of me. Holes 9 and 18 it’s all or nothing, you either clear the water or go swimming. Some of the holes tough to locate but map on scorecard makes it easy. Fairways were pretty soaked but wasn’t their fault we had all the rain. Fun time, I’ll be back.

This course is kind of a dump but you get what you pay for the mini golf courses are good though and it dose have good staff the driving range is great too I have played many driving ranges and this is my favorite

I take my son to play on the mini-​golf course. The spooky course is kind of wearing down and could use a makeover.

They had two miniature golf courses and very polite staff working. Our boys had a fun time, and I took some cute pics by the different statues! Great time for the price!

I have been coming here forever. I only playing mini-​golf so I can’t comment on the driving range, but I have a great time playing mini golf.
There are two courses and my favorite is the Scary Monster one. Last year for our anniversary we decided to play a couple rounds of mini-​golf and ended up taking pictures with all the monsters at every hole.
The great thing about this place is everyone is relaxed and easy going. If you are going slower than the ones in front of you most just say play around or offer you to jump in front of them. We are usually slow players because we goof around so much.
The staff is great and helpful and like to have fun too. We try to go a couple times a year or more. It is just a nice place to have some fun in a beautiful day.

Smiley’s is a great and cheap way to get away from the stuffy golf courses in KC and spend a slow paced day on the links. Whether your going to drive some balls on the range, play some putt-​putt with the fam, or try your own on their par 60, 18 hole course, Smiley’s quality and price really can’t be beat.
I’ve never had a bad experience here. Staff are always friendly and the grounds are very well maintained. 19 bucks (on a weekend) gets you onto their executive course. Holes here range from really short (throw the ball to the green) to challenging (some blind shots, doglegs, and long drives over water.) A recent trip here also reminded me how challenging the greens are — some unusually sloped pin locations as well as a bugger on # 6 (small V-​shaped green with water on your left).
19 bucks shouldn’t precipitate a well-​maintained course, but it does. This course is a great way to play 18 and not be gone for 4.5 hours.
I’m seriously considering their monthly plan too — $ 50 a month for unlimited range balls, miniature golf rounds, and executive course membership. Only a one year contract. That’s a heck of a deal.

This course is a great place to practice and learn new clubs, etc … There are all levels of player here but I doubt the low handicappers are getting much of a challenge.
The course is laid-​back and rate of play is fast. I like to carry and usually people complain that it slows them down (it doesn’t). I love to get out early and walk a course and Smiley’s is perfect for that.

A nice place for range practice and the par 3 course is a lot of fun. I wish they accepted American Express.

For 13 years now, this driving range has been one of the best in the country. I whole heartedly agree when you can use the left side of the driving range. It is flat and the yardage is pretty accurate depending on where the tee line is set for the day. You figure to be off by about 10 yards, but as long as you know that, then you can accurately gauge what your driving.
However, the right side is not good at all because it is on a decline and no matter how you stand or where you stand you are not teeing the ball up on a level surface. The ball will constantly be below your feet and you will not have a good session. Now if you are a novice player who always plays in the thick cabbage off of the fairway on a slope, then this might be the side for you: p. Just keep in mind that if you try and tee up the ball here, you will slice the ball and/​or it will fade because of the decline.
There are also a couple of putt/​chip greens that you can practice on and they have plenty of space to work things out.
As far as the course goes, it is decent. Plenty of par 3s between 60 – 180 yards. There are a five par 4s, plenty of water hazards and sand traps. It is walk only so bring your cart. Some of the tee boxes have weeds and are not very good, but for the money and practice, i can overlook it. Greens are tiny so precision shots are necessary. This is a great course to practice iron shots or a good beginners course.

The driving range looked nice but I opted for the mini golf. I chose the course on the right side and it was lots of fun. Definitely challenging enough for adults and a good way to spend an afternoon. The course on the left looks like it would be better for kids.

A top 100 driving range nationally, and personally my favorite range in the metro.
Smiley’s has got golf down to a fine art. One of the main reasons this place is constantly ranked in the top 100 is the fact that they have great golf balls. Usually ranges sacrifice ball quality for other ameneties, but here, they pull out all of the stops.
The synthetic pads here are constantly repalced, and the tee’s are in great condition. Due to the sheer size of the range, overcrowding has never been a problem for me, even during the spring, when everyone and their grandma is at the range knocking off the rust on their shots.
Grass is very well maintained and they do an incredible job with alternating playing surfaces. I have found that even in the fall the grass is in much better shape than at other driving ranges.
As far as the par 3 course, it is one of the better par 3’s in the area as well. They do a good job of keeping the tee box in good shape, and the greens are usually very playable. I have had a few experiences where the grass is a little high, however it’s always after a rainstorm. And if you have a lawn, you know grass grows fast after it rains.
Overall, a wonderful place to go practice, play a par 3 or even learn golf.
