Shawnee Country Club in Topeka, Kansas is a golf course designed by Donald Ross, noted as the only Ross design in the state. The layout moves across rolling hills, with turfed fairways and greens that present a test for a range of playing abilities.
Mature trees and flowering plantings frame the holes and contribute to the course's natural setting.
The club's original 1921 course drawings were recently located, opening the possibility of restoring the layout closer to Ross's intent, including plans to re-sod the greens. The course is part of the GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness group.
