KU golf program to stay at Alvamar course amid expansion talks
Rumors swirl in Lawrence as Kansas University's golf program appears likely to remain at the Alvamar course where a 5,000 square foot expansion is planned. Bliss Sports and Fritzel collaborate on Rock Chalk Park with tracks, soccer, and softball facilities for KU while terms of the deal are not disclosed. The 300 acre site includes the golf course and country club grounds, with potential infill parcels but no inclusion of wider West Lawrence developable land. Alvamar, founded in 1968 by Bob Billings and Mel Anderson, hosts one of only two 36 hole golf facilities in the state and features a historic toys-in-greens course claim.
