WELCOME.....

The Oliver D. Appleton Golf Course at St. Lawrence University welcomes you for an outstanding summer of golf.

Located in Canton, NY and adjoining the campus of St. Lawrence University, the 18-hole par-72 layout covers 6694 yards from the championship tees, 6310 from the whites, 5751 from the gold tees and plays to a par 72 at 5030 yards from the red tees.

Established in 1926 with nine holes designed by Devereut Emmet, the course expanded to its current 18 hole layout with the addition of a second nine holes designed by Geoffrey Cornish. Today the course is known as one of the region's best and well maintained. It is well-bunkered and features tree-lined fairways.

The management team of LPGA professional Mary Lawrence (right), director of golf and the coach of the St. Lawrence University men’s and women’s golf teams; John Pezdek (below left) head golf professional and assistant golf coach at St. Lawrence and course superintendent Jim Hennessey welcome you to the St. Lawrence University Golf Course.

We also invite you to visit the Golf Center at St. Lawrence University, an indoor teaching, training and practice facility which is open to the public during the winter months.

Our staff welcomes daily greens fees players and group outings. Golf packages are available in conjunction with the Best Western University Inn. Lessons are available for all skill levels, from the beginner to the tournament player.

The St. Lawrence University Golf Course is also home to the St. Lawrence Golf and Country Club which invites area residents to join at reasonable rates and features many club tournaments and functions.

A note from Mary Lawrence, 2009

Dear Members,

It looks like winter is slowly coming to an end. We're all looking forward to playing a lot of golf real soon! Sandy, Lynn, John and I are hoping the golf season will be as fabulous as it was last year. Jim Hennessey says the course wintered well and with the help of his crew and some new equipment, it will be in very nice shape.

Please remember the weekly Saturday and Sunday morning scrambles will start at 7:00am and 8:30am. The women's club will go at 9:30am. This will smooth out starting times for the rest of the day.

The pro shop is up and running, and Anne Lawrence will be running the concessions again this year. Thank you to the members who participated in the early membership drive. The "Super 72 Package" was a huge success. In an effort to increase our membership, current members who bring in a new member will receive four free rounds of golf with carts. New members will in turn receive a 20% discount off the membership rate.

All of us at Home Town Golf are looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Yours Truly,

Mary Lawrence, Director of Golf
