Alvamar Golf Club

I don't normally write reviews but when I read that poor review on Alvamar I couldn't help but think the guy who wrote it must have been having a rotten day when they wrote it. My husband plays Alvamar (or practices putting or driving) almost every day; and he loves the course. When we moved to Lawrence the one thing he was worried about was whether he'd be able to find a great, affordable place to play golf; Alvamar has been a God-send. Gorgeous on the private side and great on the public side too, wonderfully friendly staff (which is indicative of Lawrence as a whole--it's a super friendly town). And, this summer (2009) the private side dropped their membership prices to ridiculously cheap in order to get more members: IMHO it's a steal.

Alvamar is a great golf course with the best greens I have played on all year. It was pretty cheap for what your got and the staff was very nice. It's all zoysia grass fairways and the ball sets up nice. I played the city course and it has no grass. I'll go back.
