Indian Hills Country Club is a private club and golf course in Mission Hills, Kansas.
The club was organized as the Community Golf Club in 1918 by J.C. Nichols on land adjoining Mission Hills Country Club. In 1922 it temporarily moved to land that is now Kansas City Country Club. Membership was open to anybody in the Nichols-developed subdivision of Mission Hills with an annual fee of $30 and $5 for each family member.
In 1925, Kansas City Country Club took over the course and Nichols helped organize Indian Hills Country Club. A.W. Tillinghast designed the course.
The three clubs became the most socially desirable in the Kansas City metropolitan area with Kansas City Country Club being first, Indian Hills second and finally Mission Hills.
The Nichols strategy to create the three clubs was to make Kansas more attractive to upscale buyers who had previously not wanted to leave Kansas City, Missouri.
The original clubhouse was replaced in 1972. The new clubhouse was renovated from 1997 to 2001 and again in 2009.
The course an 18-hole, 6,474 yard par 70.
