Golf - Terradyne Country Club

Terradyne Golf Course

Terradyne is home to an award-winning, 18-hole championship course designed by renowned golf course architect Donald Sechrest. His mission was clear: create a fitting memorable challenge for the top players in the world while preserving the traditions and integrity of the game. From the moment you step onto the first tee, you know you are in for a treat.

Kansas’ Premier Players Course

As a “Players Course,” it remains a well-kept secret and provides a supreme challenge for golfers of all abilities. From tee to green and from the first hole to the last, it is a true test of golf. The superb layout requires a proper selection of golf clubs and strategic shot-making. It features rolling rye grass fairways, numerous sand and grass bunkers, and bent grass greens, all contributing to a memorable experience.

We also offer extensive practice facilities, including a 3-hole practice course complete with Par 3, Par 4, and Par 5 rolling fairways, as well as a 300-yard driving range with multiple tee boxes.

Terradyne is one of the top courses in Kansas, rated 4 stars by Golf Digest magazine and recognized by Golfweek magazine as one of America’s best courses. Additionally, we completed a renovation under the direction of Todd .J Clark, ASGCA, and Ron Whitten and were recently named “Best Golf Course in Wichita 2023” by The Wichita Eagle.

Josh Cook Academy

Josh Cook’s passion for golf began over 53 years ago when his grandfather took him out for cart rides and soda pops on hot summer days ni El Dorado, Kansas. Josh began playing competitive junior golf, which paved the way for his collegiate career, earning athletic scholarships from Butler County College and Kansas State University.

After graduating from Kansas State with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Josh moved to Dallas, Texas, where he launched his golf instruction career under the mentorship of renowned instructor Hank Haney. This experience fueled his passion for teaching and inspired him to make a significant impact on golf instruction in Kansas.

In early 2003, Josh and his wife returned to Kansas, where he joined Wichita Country Club (WCC) as an assistant golf professional under head professional Cary Cozby. He achieved his Class A status in 2007 and helped develop the Director of Instruction position at WCC, serving in that role until 2016. That year, following the birth of his son and being named Golf Digest’s No. 1-ranked teacher in Kansas, Josh decided to start his own venture.

Josh is now the owner of the Josh Cook Academy at Terradyne Country Club. He was recognized as the No. 1 teacher in Kansas for 2015-2016 by Golf Digest, is a five-time recipient of the South Central Section PGA Teacher of the Year Award (2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015), and has also been honored as a U.S. Kids Golf Honorable Mention Instructor.

Through his newest venture, Josh Cook Golf, he continues to expand his influence on the game across the state. He still enjoys the hot summer days of Kansas, now sharing cart rides with his wife and their son.

A distinguished coach, Josh was named the 2013 Kansas Chapter Junior Leader of the Year and has guided over 30 Wichita-area high school students to Division I college scholarships. He is committed to helping golfers of all levels and holds certifications from AimPoint (Level 2), Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), Plane Truth Golf Instruction (Level 2), and Mike Adams Swing Biodynamics (Level 1). Among his notable students is Katherine Hull-Kirk, a two-time LPGA Tour and Futures Tour winner.

In addition, Doug Atherly is also an instructor with the Josh Cook Academy. He is a PGA Director of Instruction and a PGA South Central Section Teacher of the Year. Both Josh and Doug are experts in golf instruction and have more than 50 years of combined instruction.

Course Tour

Hole 1

This difficult hole demands a long tee shot down the right center of the fairway. Be careful not to hit long into the lateral hazard that borders the back of this slightly downhill green.

Blue: 450 yds
White: 430 yds
Gold: 397 yds
Red: 327 yds

Hole 2

This long, narrow par 5 is best played down the right side of the fairway towards the windmill. A water hazard lies 120 yards out on the right side of the fairway.

Blue: 560 yds
White: 547 yds
Gold: 526 yds
Red: 409 yds

Hole 3

Pins located on the center or right of the green give very little margin for error. Shots missing the green can leave a difficult up-and-down with the revetted Ha-Ha walls looming large.

Blue: 170 yds
White: 161 yds
Gold: 147 yds
Red: 116 yds

Hole 4

Aim the tee shot at the left edge of the large bunker to a spot 90 – 120 yards from the green. From there, you might have a chance to see the pin, which is on a green well-hidden in the back corner of the golf course.

Blue: 370 yds
White: 353 yds
Gold: 328 yds
Red: 315 yds

Hole 5

Shorter hitters must aim left of the steep bunkers on the right side of the fairway. Longer hitters can take on the bunkers on a line near the halfway house. Check the pin location before you hit to this very deep green.

Blue: 425 yds
White: 418 yds
Gold: 379 yds
Red: 356 yds

Hole 6

This par 3 has a very narrow, but deep green. Shots that fly high can be pushed short by a strong wind from the south. Par is a good score on this hole.

Blue: 170 yds
White: 155 yds
Gold: 130 yds
Red: 127 yds

Hole 7

Don’t bite off more than you can chew here. A good shot must stay right of the fairway bunker that lies in the left rough. The approach is slightly downhill to a narrow green.

Blue: 395 yds
White: 380 yds
Gold: 368 yds
Red: 320 yds

Hole 8

The left side of the fairway is safe, but the hole narrows roughly 250 yards from the tee. You must carry the ball onto the green to reach this short par 5 in two.

Blue: 500 yds
White: 486 yds
Gold: 463 yds
Red: 428 yds

Hole 9

A straight drive is required, but the right side opens up a little for missed shots. The perfect drive draws towards the hedge apple trees and lands around 120 to 150 yards from the green. Try to avoid the bunkers on either side of this large, sloping green.

Blue: 400 yds
White: 341 yds
Gold: 307 yds
Red: 300 yds

Hole 10

Club selection is essential on this unforgiving hole. A hazard lies short right of the green while long of the green can also be big trouble. The bail out shot is left in the large swale.

Black:
Blue: 175 yds
White: 160 yds
Gold: 136 yds
Red: 115 yds

Hole 11

Try to avoid the bunker in the right rough off of the tee box. Laying up is the sensible play on this long hole. A water hazard runs from 60 yards out to the green.

Blue: 575 yds
White: 534 yds
Gold: 514 yds
Red: 477 yds

Hole 12

Terradyne’s Signature Hole is this tough par 3 with the lighthouse in the background. Club selection can be affected greatly by the pin position. There is not much room to miss long or left, but don’t leave your shot in the large bunker that guards the front of the green.

Blue: 183 yds
White: 170 yds
Gold: 161 yds
Red: 138 yds

Hole 13

Hit a solid tee shot to avoid the hazard. Shorter hitters might want to take their tee shot at the bridge; it’s a shorter carry. The large revetted bunker can catch many shots that run down the center of the fairway.

Blue: 390 yds
White: 380 yds
Gold: 336 yds
Red: 267 yds

Hole 14

The smart play calls for a three wood or long iron off the tee. This narrow hole increases in difficulty with a strong, southerly wind. The green is no bargain either, so plan according to pin location. Chip shots that land in front run to the center.

Blue: 345 yds
White: 321 yds
Gold: 260 yds
Red: 247 yds

Hole 15

A tee shot toward the large tree in the background is the preferred line. Longer hitters can be bold and hit over the bunker to set up a short pitch shot. A small water hazard guards the green on this short dogleg right.

Blue: 335 yds
White: 325 yds
Gold: 290 yds
Red: 268 yds

Hole 16

A strong, southerly wind can make this hole very long. You must get your tee shot in the fairway. Water on the right captures many over-aggressive shots. Remember to swing smoothly when hitting into the wind.

Blue: 368 yds
White: 352 yds
Gold: 327 yds
Red: 310 yds

Hole 17

This tricky par 3 leaves little margin for error. Native grass surrounds the left and back of the green with a water hazard close to the right side. Par is a good score on this little gem.

Blue: 180 yds
White: 150 yds
Gold: 124 yds
Red: 113 yds

Hole 18

This tight par 5 allows you to use the widest part of the fairway if you stay short of the bunker on the left. Longer tee shots should hug the right side of the fairway. The water hazard catches any shots too far right. Run-up approaches can yield good scores if played correctly.

Blue: 520 yds
White: 500 yds
Gold: 459 yds
Red: 452 yds
