About Lawrence Country Club
Lawrence Country Club features 18 holes stretched across 6,510 yards, presenting golfers with a par 70 challenge. With both black tees available, this course is designed to demand precision and finesse as it weaves through its meticulously maintained bentgrass fairways and greens.
