Firekeeper Golf Course
Firekeeper Golf Course is not actually located here in Topeka it is off of 150th St. in Mayetta. The golf course is right on your way to the Prairie Band Casino, for those who are familiar. This golf course is on a completely different level than any course around the area. The greens, fairways, teeboxes, and bunkers are all in pristine condition. The fairway grass at Firekeeper seems to be like most of the greens at any course (very short and well kept up). But with the beauty of the course also comes the beast. And by beast I am referring to the price of a round of golf out there and also the difficulty. It is by far one of if not the most difficult courses I have ever played. With all of the long thick native grasses growing along the sides of most of the fairways the wind is also a huge factor playing Firekeeper. But if you enjoy golfing and don't mind spending a little money and losing a few or 5 balls then Firekeeper is the one. I would recommend Firekeeper Golf Course to anyone around the area.

Forbes Golf Course
Forbes Golf Course is not very well known around Topeka but is located off Capehart Rd on the southwest side. Forbes is the only course around here that is only a nine hole course. It is also a little off of the beaten path so not too many people are usually out there. The course overall is not one of the best I have played it was in a rough condition. The one thing about Forbes is that it is not a terribly difficult play most of the holes are fairly straight and there is only water on a couple holes. Forbes is a good course to go to to work on your game and get prepared for the bigger and better courses around Topeka. Overall not a bad course just one that is not very well known.

Shawnee Country Club
Shawnee Country Club has been through a lot of ups and downs over the past 5-10 years. The golf course is located off the corner of 29th and Adams on the southeast part of town. The country club recently switched owners to the Great Life Association after a couple years that it was shut down. The course is still very much a work in progress with a lot of different parts of the course getting worked on. The course used to be one of the nicest courses around Topeka until the ownership issues. The course although it looks rough in a couple places here and there has an excellent layout and is a challenging course. One of the most challenging parts about golfing there is finding your ball in the thick rough. But in the long run if we keep getting summers like the last one Shawnee Country Club will be back to being in discussion for the best course in Topeka.

Lake Shawnee Country Club
Lake Shawnee Country Club is located off of East Edge Rd. also here in Topeka. The course layout is designed right around the south side of the lake. One of the only holes you really have to worry about the lake coming into play is hole #2 (the lake lines the entire left side of the hole). Arguably this is one of the most beautiful challenging holes around Topeka. Another noteworthy hole at Lake Shawnee is #4. This hole is a par 3 only measuring about 150 yds or less but with almost a one hundred foot drop from the teebox to the green. The greens are also very challenging because of the hills some of them are on creating difficult chances for low scores. Every part of the course teeboxes to the fairways to the greens were kept in great shape. Although Lake Shawnee is not the easiest course around Topeka I would recommend it to any golf lover around here who wants a challenging beautiful venue.
