Public golf in Topeka has long centered on the courses managed by the city's parks system, and Forbes Golf Course is part of that tradition — an accessible, affordable option for the community that has developed generations of local players. Named for Forbes Field, the former military airfield on Topeka's southwest side that the course shares its address with, the layout carries that utilitarian, straightforward character that defines good municipal golf: no pretense, just a place to play.
Topeka sits in the broad Kaw River valley where the Flint Hills begin their roll to the east, and the surrounding landscape has a quiet, open quality — big skies, native grasses, and the kind of flat-to-gently-rolling terrain that defines northeastern Kansas. Golf here is a seasonal pleasure, best enjoyed in the cooler shoulder months when the wind cooperates.
The par-70 format signals a course that rewards precision over raw power. Players will likely encounter shorter par 4s that demand accuracy off the tee rather than distance, making it a fair and engaging test for mid- to high-handicap golfers while still holding the interest of better players.
