Welcome to a New Era
The Kansas City and Kansas Golf Associations are announcing a new brand under Central Links Golf.
Central Links Golf will continue the tradition of those founding organizations by providing top-notch competitive opportunities for everyone. We strive to link people across generations, communities, and clubs through these competitive opportunities, and then strengthen these links to build a thriving golf community in our area.
