Thinking About Living in Hallbrook Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Hallbrook Country Club and the surrounding Kansas City Metro & Johnson County golf market.
Hallbrook Country Club anchors one of Leawood's most storied luxury residential districts. The land traces to 1927, when Hallmark Cards founder Joyce C. Hall settled his family on a roughly 730-acre wooded estate south of Kansas City, building a Georgian family home there in 1930. Most of that acreage was later developed into Hallbrook, a private country club (founded 1988) wrapped by the custom-built homes of Hallbrook Farms.
The golf course itself was designed by Tom Fazio and is known locally for significant elevation change and a creek that winds through the routing, playing to a demanding course rating of 74.8 and slope of 144 from the back tees. Today Hallbrook Farms homes are among Leawood's most expensive, with recent luxury listings clustering around a $2.85 million median and representative homes exceeding 7,500 square feet.
Golf & Course
Tom Fazio's championship 18-hole design opened with the club in 1988, built across the rolling, creek-cut terrain of the former Hall family farm. The course carries a 74.8 rating and 144 slope from the championship tees, reflecting real elevation change unusual for a Kansas City-area private club.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Hallbrook is a private, member-owned club offering Full Golf and Social membership tiers (full golf access includes the course, tennis, pool, and fitness center; social membership covers dining and social facilities only). No official published fee schedule was found; third-party estimates vary widely and are explicitly flagged by those sources as unverified. Home purchase in Hallbrook Farms was not found to include or require club membership — the two are researched as separate systems, consistent with the pattern at most Kansas City-area private clubs researched in this market.
