Sugar Hills Golf Club

Sugar Hills Golf Club

Born in 1921, as a dream of Leo Schisler, Sugar Hills Golf Club, Inc. has morphed from a 9-hole course with sand greens, buffalo grass fairways and trees made of wet sand, to what is now  the finest 18-hole golf course between Hays, KS and Denver, CO. With lush bluegrass fairways and beautiful bent grass greens,  we call Sugar Hills Golf Club The Gem of the Prairie!

World's Largest Easel - Featuring Van Gogh's Sunflowers

World's Largest Easel - Featuring Van Gogh's Sunflowers

For the past several years, Goodland, in western Kansas, has been waving at passers-by with the World's Largest Easel (or at least the largest along a U.S. Interstate). It's 80 feet tall, and atop it rests a 32x24-foot representation of one of Van Gogh's "Sunflower" paintings. It's about a half-mile off of I-70, along Hwy 24 near the center of town. Kansas is the "Sunflower State," and Goodland is at the center of the local sunflower industry, so it makes sense.

The Giant Grasshopper

The Giant Grasshopper

Lloyd Harden created the Giant Grasshopper and Palm Tree, along with many other creations. The Ihrig farm just north of Goodland, on Highway 27, bought the grasshopper and tree. Park in their lot and walk to the creations. Don't forget your selfie stick! Head north to Road 79, almost to the county line, and turn south at Road 28. At Road 28, go south two miles to the Kidder Massacre marker.
