An occasional thirty minute wait at several restaurants, but you can always find a decent choice with little to no wait. Executive golf courses are pretty packed from 9:00 to 3:00, but you can usually get a tee time for one or even two at a decent time. I play early so no problem. We are coming in August this year just to see what it is like. Not worried about the heat - it is 97 degrees with a 105 heat index today in KC.
Hot is hot, but I think you will find the humidity and angle of the sun feels like this torch on you're neck and back, and when you start sweeting it pours like the rain. I also thing IMO heat index maybe higher down hear along with the suns ability to damage skin. So, make sure you have good dose of sun screen on it you plan on being out 11am to 5pm. For comparison I spent many summers in north Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, and Nebraska, but in my younger years, maybe that was factory in my opinion on summer heat and humidity?
