Club's New Course Set to Open Saturday
Lawrence Country Club prepares to debut a new 18 hole layout replacing the old 9 hole course. The club, born as Dread Golf Club in 1903 on the KU campus, has a storied past tied to local professors and historic opposition to Sunday golf before the 1915 establishment of the current Country Club with first president F H Smithmeyer. Members funded the project through a last chance tournament on the old course as they await the new layout and its potential course records.
