Braeburn Golf Club At Wichita State University began as the Crestview Country Club in the 1920's. In the 1960's, Crestview decided to move to east Wichita and construct a new facility. In 1968, WSU obtained Crestview which was adjacent to the campus and found itself operating a golf course. The clubhouse was opened as a private club, known first as "The Shocker Club" and then as "The University Club".

In 1994, the management of the WSU course adopted the name "Braeburn".

The course provides an 18-hole championship layout that is challenging enough for advanced players, yet beginner-friendly for less experienced golfers and families.

The course is an NGCOA recognized beginner friendly facility and features one of the best practice facilities in Wichita. Our driving range, short range, and putting greens give golfers of all skill levels a chance to improve their game.
