The Jayhawk Club

Lawrence, Kansas, USACentral Kansas

The Jayhawk Club in Lawrence, Kansas, features an 18-hole parkland course that balances strategic challenges with approachable play. Members enjoy a championship layout marked by rolling fairways, mature trees, and well-kept greens, complemented by club amenities that enrich every round.

Course Overview

Located in the heart of Lawrence, Kansas, The Jayhawk Club offers an 18-hole championship golf experience that harmonizes spirited play with an inviting social atmosphere. This members-only course presents a thoughtfully designed parkland layout spread across gently rolling terrain, blending natural grasses with strategic bunkering and undulating greens. Mature trees line many fairways, offering both visual appeal and tactical challenges that reward precise shot placement, while the open holes test players’ distance control and course management skills.

The course plays to a par of 72 and covers a total yardage that balances length with playability, catering to a wide range of golfers. Whether stepping off the tee with a driver or pitching high into elevated greens, players find an engaging rhythm throughout their round. The Jayhawk Club strikes a careful balance where seasoned players will find rewarding complexity, but the course remains approachable enough to encourage less-experienced golfers to improve their game.

Set within a vibrant country club atmosphere, it goes beyond golf by offering excellent amenities. The clubhouse anchors the property with spacious gathering areas, fine dining, and locker rooms that reflect the club’s commitment to comfort and service. Attentive staff and quality facilities extend the experience past the fairways, making it a preferred destination for members seeking both competition and camaraderie.

Walkers will appreciate the peaceful surroundings and firm turf conditions, while carts are available to ensure smooth navigation across the course’s expanse. The conditioning throughout the season tends to emphasize consistent playing surfaces, from well-manicured tees to smoothly contoured greens that hold well under various weather conditions.

Strategically placed bunkers guard some of the more challenging greens, inviting thoughtful club selection and shot shaping. Throughout the round, golfers encounter a variety of short and longer par-4s and par-5s that tempt risk and reward decisions, ensuring no two holes feel the same.

For those planning a visit or membership inquiry, The Jayhawk Club combines the core elements of classic parkland golf with the modern touches and community spirit that define an exceptional club experience in Lawrence, Kansas.

Course Highlights

Signature holes include a challenging par-4 with a narrow fairway guarded by trees and a large bunker complex protecting a two-tiered green. The layout emphasizes strategic shot placement with varied elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors that shape playing angles. The well-maintained conditioning supports a smooth pace and reliable putting surfaces throughout the season.

We had our wedding last week and it was amazing. The venue was beautiful. The venue opened up so that we had easy access to the patio. The room comfortably fit all of our guests. The food was delicious. Drinks and bar were great. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

The Jayhawk Club is hands down one of the best venues we have worked with from a vendor perspective! First and most importantly, the staff is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Our experience first started out with Samantha. Samantha is the Sales and Event Manager at the Jayhawk Club, of which her title should be “The Jack Of All Trades, Event Mastermind”. Samantha is the most kind, knowledgable, helpful, and organized person you will every meet! She had all of the information when I needed it and had very quick replies to any emails or questions that arose through the planning process. Samantha knew the entire venue inside and out and was incredibly helpful not only during the planning process, but during the wedding as well! On the day of the wedding we were introduced to Jamie. Jamie did everything food and beverage management wise. She like all of the other staff went above and beyond her duties to assist us in any way possible that we needed. Need an extension cord? She’s running it to you. Have an issue with a DJ not bringing a speaker for ceremony? The girls were problem solving and on it! The day would not have been a success without both Samatha and Jamie! The venue and property itself is absolutely stunning! Very clean, beautiful facilities that were very well maintained. This venue is one that needs very minimal decor because it is stunning all on it’s own. Can you decorate and have extravagant decor? Absolutely! But for the minimal bride, it is truly stunning and we had several comments all night from the guests on how beautiful it was!
