Lake Shawnee Golf Course is a public 18-hole golf course located in Topeka, Kansas. It is known for its picturesque setting, challenging layout, and unique history that dates back to prehistoric times. The golf course is situated on the shores of Lake Shawnee, a man-made lake that was created in the 1930s as part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the Great Depression.

The golf course was designed by renowned golf course architect Jim Colbert and opened for play in 1964. It has since undergone several renovations and improvements to keep up with modern golfing standards. The course features a mix of challenging par 3s, dogleg par 4s, and reachable par 5s that cater to golfers of all skill levels.

One of the standout features of Lake Shawnee Golf Course is its natural beauty. The course is surrounded by lush vegetation, mature trees, and scenic water features that provide a stunning backdrop for a round of golf. The lake itself is home to a variety of wildlife, including geese, ducks, and fish, making it a popular spot for nature lovers and birdwatchers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Lake Shawnee Golf Course also has a unique and fascinating history. Prior to the construction of the lake, the area was home to several Native American tribes, including the Kansa and Shawnee tribes. Archaeological evidence suggests that the area was inhabited as early as 3,000 years ago.

In the early 1900s, the land was owned by a wealthy businessman named Anton Phillips, who turned it into a private amusement park called "Lake Shawnee Park." The park featured a variety of attractions, including a roller coaster, Ferris wheel, and a swimming pool. However, tragedy struck the park in 1927 when a young girl was killed on the Ferris wheel. The park was closed shortly after and remained abandoned for many years.

In the 1930s, the WPA acquired the land and turned it into a recreational area, which included the construction of the lake and the golf course. Today, the golf course is one of the most popular attractions in the area, drawing golfers from all over the state and beyond.

Lake Shawnee Golf Course offers a variety of amenities to its guests, including a clubhouse, driving range, and pro shop. The clubhouse features a restaurant and bar that serves delicious food and drinks, making it a popular spot for golfers to relax and unwind after a round of golf. The pro shop offers a wide selection of golf equipment, apparel, and accessories, making it a one-stop-shop for all your golfing needs.

Overall, Lake Shawnee Golf Course is a must-visit destination for golfers and nature lovers alike. Its stunning natural beauty, challenging layout, and unique history make it a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, Lake Shawnee Golf Course has something to offer everyone.
