Eagle Bend Golf Course

Eagle Bend Golf Course in Lawrence, Kansas, is one of the most-played courses in Kansas on Hole19, and its reputation is well earned. The Kansas City Star ranked it among the top three courses in the state, and Golf Digest has recognized it as a Places to Play selection. The 18-hole layout shifts character as you move through the round. The opening six holes play in open terrain with no tree cover, while the back half of the course is heavily wooded and runs alongside the Wakarusa River. That variety gives the round a distinct two-act feel. Eagle Bend also takes its environmental responsibilities seriously, actively working to preserve the surrounding habitat. The course is home to a range of wildlife, including the bald eagle — the species that inspired the course's name.
