About Lake Shawnee Golf Course
Lake Shawnee Golf Course in Topeka, Kansas plays to a par of 70 and stretches more than 6,300 yards from the back tees. The course was designed by Larry W. Flatt and opened in 1972, with later updates carried out by Craig Schreiner.
Several holes run alongside Lake Shawnee, combining open water views with the added challenge of playing near the shoreline. Its moderate overall length keeps the layout approachable for a wide range of golfers.
