About Forbes Golf Course
Forbes is Shawnee County's nine in the southeast part of the county, a par 36 of 3,253 yards laid out links style with three sets of tees. The county pitches it as relaxed: hard enough to keep a good player honest, easy enough for someone just starting out. Go around twice if you want 18; there's an 18-hole rate for that.
It also has FootGolf, the soccer-and-golf game, set up as its own 18-hole, par-66 course of 2,057 yards, so it's a good stop if not everyone in the group plays golf.
It's one of 6 courses in Topeka on Yoink, and the closest alternative is Lake Shawnee Golf Course, about 4 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
