Membership Fees
Your membership fees will include, membership to the Men’s Club, free entry into Men’s Club Championship (green fee and cart not included), ability to enter into the weekly games, and ability to book tee times 7 days in advance for Wednesdays. NEW for 2018 there will be no free year end dinner in order to keep the cost of joining the Club to a minimum due to the Kansas Golf Association price increase for a GHIN handicap.
GHIN Handicap Fees (optional but highly suggested)
NEW! The KGA and KWGA have now merged to the KGA, resulting in one handicap service (Kansas Golf Association). Previously Men’s Club was using the KWGA handicap service which was at a lower rate.
The GHIN Handicap is used for weekly Men’s Club events. The league will also use handicaps for the Club Championship. NEW! Players competing in the weekly game(s) will have their scores posted to GHIN by Lake Shawnee Golf Staff. Players not competing in the weekly game will need to post their score on their own.
Hole-In-One Club (optional)
Any Men’s Club member(s) who scores an ace during any Men’s Club event, including tournaments, will split the pot at the end of the year; providing that golfer has paid the HIO fee before the ace has been recorded.
The following rules will apply.
- The hole-in-one must be attested by at least one other Men’s Club member playing with the ace.
- The ace must have occurred during the weekly events or league tournaments.
- Ace must have occurred on 1st tee shot attempt. (No mulligan’s or redo’s)
- The hole-in-one must be a completed 9 or 18-hole round done in hole order based on scheduled starting hole.
- The official scorecard must be turned into the golf shop with players names, all signatures, and date immediately after the designated round for review.
- Members must pay the fee each year if they wish to participate before hole-in-one occurs.
If a HIO is not recorded in the season, the pot will roll over to the next year HIO Club. There is a total of $0.00 carried over to 2018 season due to a hole-in-one recorded by Pete Ortiz on May 31, 2017 on #4 at 122 yards with a 6 iron.
Tee Times
Members will be allowed to book tee times 1 week in advance for Wednesdays Men’s Club. The league is an all day league allowing club members to book tee times throughout the entire day. Starting at 3:30 PM the golf course will allow access to both front-9 & back-9. Groups wishing to play more than 9 holes will need a second nine turn time when tee time is made after 1:30 pm.
Golfers new to the Men’s Club who need help finding a group or meeting new people should see Scott Mellen, PGA Head Professional or pro shop staff.

At this time players will have the option to sign up for the $3.00 weekly event. Players who choose to play in the weekly event must specify which 9-holes they plan to compete on before teeing off (This cannot be changed once play has begun). If you play 18-holes you can pick both front-9 and back-9 and pay $6.
