Milburn Country Club
A 1917 Langford and Moreau course in north Overland Park, rebuilt in 2012 with a new clubhouse in 2013, and still hosting state championships.
About Milburn Country Club
Milburn Country Club was founded in 1917 at 7501 West 69th Street, which puts it in the older, tree-lined part of Overland Park just west of Prairie Village. The course is one of the oldest in the metro and was designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau, Golden Age architects known for bold green complexes. In 2012 the club had Todd Clark rebuild the greens to USGA specification, followed by a new clubhouse in 2013 and reworked bunkers and tees in 2016 ahead of its centennial. The course plays past 7,000 yards from the tips and has hosted the Kansas Amateur.
Milburn draws from the neighborhoods you would expect given the address: north Overland Park, Prairie Village, Mission, Fairway and Roeland Park, all in Shawnee Mission schools. It is a full country club with tennis, a pool and dining, but the golf is the reason people join. Compared with the Mission Hills clubs a couple of miles east, Milburn has historically felt a bit more accessible and a bit more golf-centric, and the ongoing reinvestment shows the members are serious about keeping the course competitive.
For a buyer looking in the 66204 and 66207 zip codes, the interesting thing is how many mid-century ranches and remodels sit within a few minutes of the gates. This is the club for people who want an older, close-in neighborhood, a walkable downtown Overland Park, and a real golf course without paying Mission Hills land prices. Membership is a separate purchase from any home, and the club does not publish its fees, so plan for a proper application and ask the membership office about categories and any waitlist.
How membership works
Milburn is a private, member-owned club and does not publish initiation fees, dues or category names on its site. Expect golf and social categories, junior pricing for younger members, sponsorship by current members and an admissions review. Planning range only: a five-figure initiation for full golf at an established Overland Park club that has recently reinvested in course and clubhouse, plus monthly dues. There is no residency requirement; members come from across northeast Johnson County. Contact the club at 913-432-0490 for current categories and availability.
Clubs adjust initiation and dues with demand and rarely publish them. Treat any figure above as a planning range and ask me for current numbers before you commit to an address. Read the metro-wide breakdown in what country club memberships cost in Kansas City.
