I contacted Alvamar and Lawrence Country Club ($220 per month - golf/social/pool/tennis membership) via email in mid-March, inquiring about a possible tour and opportunity to play the courses. Alvamars Ryan Spencer (Director of Golf Membership) was quick to get back to me, Lawrence Country Club never did. Brian Minnis, Director of Operations and one of the owners, met me when I arrived and personally gave me a tour of the facilities and introduced me to the staff. I was very impressed with the facilities and staff, but even more so with the University of Kansas (KU) Affiliate Membership. Normally $240 per month ($2,880 per year) plus a $300 initiation fee, Brian told me that KU Staff and their families get a golf/dining/social membership for just $150 per month ($1,800 per year, a savings of over $1000) with no initiation fee and access to all of the facilities for my wife included ... SOLD! I joined Alvamar on March 13, 2014 and played my first round that day, 10/18ths of a round anyway. As I putted-out on the 10th green of the Members Course, a tight, tree-lined layout that meanders through large custom homes and gently rolling hills, I turned to return to my golf cart ... BUT IT WAS GONE! While just 30 yards away putting, it turned out that three teenagers drove off with my electric cart along with my new iPhone and golf clubs valued at over $1700. I recovered my iPhone, which they tossed from the cart as they drove down the 13th fairway, using Find My iPhone in the Pro Shop. I also found two of my golf clubs in the bushes across the street from the 13th green where witnesses had seen the boys fleeing the scene but everything else was lost. Alvamar staff reacted immediately and superbly, doing everything they could to help me, including wading through knee deep sludge in a drainage ditch and combing the woods for any sign of my possessions. They was absolutely nothing they could have done to prevent this bazaar theft and went above and beyond after, a testament to the commitment to outstanding customer service I have witnessed so far. I have since had a chance to play both courses and have been impressed with the layouts and conditions even though the grass is still dormant. With the exception of a few holes, the courses are both very walkable. The Members Course is much tighter than the Championship (public) Course, a 7,000+ yard test which reminds me of the Robert Trent Jones designed "Blue" Course at the U.S. Air Force Academy where I was a member while on the faculty from 1988 to 1993. The Alvabar and Grill is a large, well-appointed, cozy environment with wood paneling and numerous TVs for viewing sports while enjoying a post-round beverage. A nice selection of draught beers, including Guinness and local craft beers, daily specials, full menu, and reasonable prices make the Alvabar a great place to windown after a round of golf. Early on in our membership, I culd say that Alvamar Golf and Country Club was a terrific value, providing superior customer service and individualized attention. However, after a year being a member, the food got old, the people were mostly arrogant and distant, and management lacked integrity, so we left.

We held our wedding reception at the newly remodeled Jayhawk Club on May 6th and had a wonderful night! Jen and her staff (especially Stephanie) were phenomenal! We had so many compliments on the food, chef did an amazing job! We also used The Jayhawk Club for our rehearsal dinner and chef created a menu for us with the exact theme we were hoping for (it was cinco de mayo). The view is unbelievable and Jen took so much stress off of me by making sure everything was set up and the vendors were there when they were supposed to be. We had a wonderful experience!

I found the course a bit to easy and they had a ton of "Dead" areas. Any day golfing is a great day though and the staff was very nice.

The new clubhouse is outstanding. Cant wait to go back. Were even thinking about having our wedding here!

Ryan Wood

The newly renovated facility is spectacular. The golf course looks to be coming together as well.

Cody Scott

Nicely located in a remote place to where the golf course will be very quiet.

Indira Fernandez

Beautiful new building. It felt great to be back!

Courtney Porter

The new additions place it in a class above.
