Courses offer golfers chance to play
Lawrence has two courses, 27 holes for public, students
By Randy Rosetta Special to the Kansan
Although the debate continues as to if, when and where the city of Lawrence will build a new public golf course, there are courses in the city and nearby for golfers at the University of Kansas.
Two courses are open to the public in Lawrence with 27 total holes available.
Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 1800 Crossgate Drive, offers an 18-hole course to the public in addition to an 18-hole private course available only to members of the Alavamar Country Club. Greens fees on the public course are $11 for nine holes and $17 for 18 holes during the week. The price increases to $15 and $26 on the weekend. After 6
p. m., there is a 25 percent discount for each round or half round.
Dave Randal, an assistant professional, said Alamar was open from sump to sundown year-round and was able to meet times was strongly recommended.
"The best thing to do is to check ahead and set a time because during the warmer months the course is generally packed," he said.
The other public course in Lawrence is the Orchards Executive Course, 3000 W. 15th St., three blocks east of the Orchards Shopping Center at 15th and Kasold streets.
The Orchards is a nine-hole short course that opens at 7:30 a.m. daily and stays open until dark. The cost is $8 for nine holes during the week and $11 for 18 holes. The fees increase to $9.25 for nine and $13.50 for 18 on Saturday and Sunday.
"We don't really feel like we compete with the larger courses because we offer a short and quick course for the golfer who doesn't
want to spend a lot of money or time," said manager George Corn.
Nearby locations also provide outlets for golfers who may find city courses too busy or beyond their budgets.
The Lake Shawnee Golf Course, located at Lake Shawnee southeast of Topeka, attracts more Lawrence residents and KU students than any other Topeka-area course, said pro-shop manager Danny Holly.
From 6:30 a.m. until dark during the week, golfers can play the 18-hole lake course for $6.15 for nine holes and $7.45 for a full round. On the weekends, the cost is a flat rate of $8.85 for either a half or full round.
"We get a lot of players from Lawrence who are college kids who either can't afford the places in Lawrence or just aren't able to get a tee time," Holly said.
The nearest public course in the Johnson County area is Smiley's, located at the junction of Kansas Highways 10 and 7. Smiley's is open
from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. Greens fees Monday through Friday are $8 for nine holes and $10 for 18. The fees increase by a dollar each on the weekends.
For those who may not be seeking a full-round of golf, there is the Twin Oaks Golf Complex, located on K-10 east of Lawrence near Eudora. Twin Oaks is a fully equipped driving range.
Tim Holmes, manager and co-owner of Twin Oaks, said there were 25 mats with the capability of 7 grasses tee at his complex. Golfers can hit 45 balls for $2.75 and 90 for $5 from 1 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
"We feel we provide an intermediate step for golfers who may not want to play a full round of golf." Holmes said. "The reaction has been very positive as far as people who appreciate being able to come out, hit a bucket or two of balls and then go home. It's almost like allowing players to relax without the frustrations that sometimes accompany golf."
Lawrence's miniature golf courses offer students big fun
By Randy Rosetta Special to the Kansan
For the novice golfer who may not have the time, money or skills for the real thing, Lawrence has two miniature golf courses.
Putt-Putt Golf Center, 3107 Iowa St. is the largest in the city and also the only outdoor course. Putt-Putt has two 18-hole courses, as well as four batting cages for baseball and softball.
Justin Bogart, manager of the complex, sad that since its opening in 1984, Putt-Putt had drawn approximately 65,000 customers each year.
"We have a very steady business, especially for being located in a community as transient as Lawrence," he said. "Repeat customers are a very large part of our business, so it seems that a lot of people are coming back."
Competing with Putt-Putt is an indoor course at the Lawrence Riverfront Mall, Rail City Golf, which opened in 1990 on the lower level of the mall near the food court, has an 18-hole course and a golf gift sales center.
Though the indoor course is smaller, manager Paul Hahn said, pros and cons come with having a roof overhead.
"We lose a little bit of free publicity because we are inside unlike the outdoor courses where people are able to drive by and recognize where they are," Hahn said. "But on the other hand, as an indoor course, we have obviously never had a rainout."
Rain or shine, the mall course is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Putt-Putt's hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. After the city's public schools begin later this month, Putt-Putt will open at noon and close at 10 p.m. on weekdays.
At Putt-Putt, one 18-hole round is $3.50, two rounds are $5, and three trips cost $6.
At River City Golf, nine holes cost $2, a full round is $3, and unlimited play is $4.
