About Oliver D. Appleton Golf Course at St. Lawrence University

The routing takes full advantage of the natural topography, with several holes playing through mature trees that frame your shots beautifully. What sets it apart from typical university tracks is the genuine strategic interest. You'll find yourself thinking through club selection and angles rather than just grip-it-and-rip-it golf. The conditioning surprises most visitors, maintained at a level that puts many higher-priced daily fees to shame. With walking encouraged and a pace that rarely drags, it's the kind of place where you can knock out 18 holes in under four hours while actually enjoying the experience. That 4.6 Google rating from local players tells you everything. This isn't just convenient golf for St. Lawrence students, it's a course worth seeking out when you're in the Canton area.
