Lawton Municpal Golf Course

Detailed description of Lawton Municpal Golf Course

Lawton Municpal Golf Course first opened for play in 1956. The course was designed by Jack Greer and Ben Hogan.

Lawton Municpal is a fairly flat course with wide-open fairways, but there are some mounds that can cause uneven lies. There are very few trees that can affect your shots, and the fairways are well manicured. The most difficult hole is #14, a 600-yard, par 5, requiring an approach shot up a narrow fairway with out-of-bounds stakes lining the right side. Water hazards (a few creeks and a lake) come into play on six holes.

The course measure 7,142 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 72. The course rating is 72.9 with a slope rating of 102.
