Golf in Lawson

Lawson is a Clay County community northeast of Kansas City in the more rural portion of the county's eastern agricultural territory. Clay County's overall suburban development has not fully reached Lawson, which maintains a more rural character than the communities closer to Kansas City. The surrounding agricultural landscape of northeastern Clay County creates the open terrain that distinguishes this part of the county from the dense suburban development of the southern and western portions. Golf has served this Missouri community as a consistent recreational anchor through economic cycles, providing an outdoor activity that connects residents to the natural landscape in every season that weather allows.
