Built in  1979, Mel Anderson designed this beautiful 9 Hole Executive Golf Course as an auxiliary to The Alvamar Country Club (now The Jayhawk Club).  Lawrence's first sanctioned 9 Hole Footgolf Course was added to the 31 acre facility in 2014. In the second half of 2018, a course-wide facelift, designed by Kyle O'Keefe, was started to increase the playability of the Greens and expand the tee boxes to lengthen the course.
Don't let this short 1,943 yard executive course fool you. Tight, tree lined fairways weave through creeks and thick rough approaching small, tucked greens that can be  tricky  to read. The Orchards will give you a  challenging, but enjoyable round no matter your skill level.
This unique gem is located in the center of Lawrence along Bob Billings Parkway and is within walking distance of the KU campus, as well as being easily accessible to out-of-town guests.
