The marker says, "Play began on the Kenwood Gold Links, an extension of the Hyde Park Country Club in 1894. A group composed mostly of transplanted Scots laid out nine holes between 36th and 38th Streets. Gillham (oak) to Charlotte, with the ninth, green in the yard of the Van Brunt residence at 3617 Oak. The game quickly became so popular that larger space was sought, and the members found it at 51st and Wornall Road in 1896. They reorganized there as the Kansas City Country Club."
