About The Topeka Country Club

Plans for Topeka Country Club began in 1899, but it was not until April 25, 1905 that the vision of the club's founders became a reality. With 226 originating stockholders, Topeka Country Club formally came into existence when they agreed to purchase the Guilford Dudley Estate. The first nine holes were originally designed by Scotsman Thomas M. Bendelow in 1906. The 2,900-yard, nine-hole course was a hit with club members. Thirty years later, in 1936, famed course designer Perry Maxwell was chosen to redesign the first nine holes and to layout the second nine holes. By 1938, work was underway and the course was fully completed in early 1940. American icons such as Bob Hope, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, former U.S. President Taft and many others have been a part of Topeka Country Club’s rich history, with visits to the clubhouse and course over the last 100-plus years.
