Crestview Country Club has a broad history of excellence in Wichita. Founded in 1921, by three local businessmen on 160 acres between 17th and 21st, and Fairmount College and Oliver. They platted out the golf course, then fenced the greens to protect them from cattle that rightfully roamed the area. The remaining buffalo and surrounding wild grasses contributed to the natural appeal of the original golf course.The spirit of Crestview remained strong through World War II, the Great Depression, a fire that destroyed the original Clubhouse, the move to its current location in 1969, and many other events throughout its history.
