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, 5830 from the brown tees and
plays to a par 73 at 5430 yards from the red tees. Established
in 1926 with nine holes designed by Devereut Emmet, the course expanded it 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

to the 2003 golf season! I am very excited to be working with you. The changes
you will see include an efficient and cordial staff, enhanced playability of the
course, and expanded programs to promote the game of golf. Our
staff will bring back Lynn Lawrence and Sandy Fadden. Chris Wells is a welcome
new addition; he will be pursuing his P.G.A. card. The Best Western University

Their knowledge and expertise will compliment our facility. Superintendent
