Students may have yet another apartment complex to choose from — this one with a nine-hole golf course.
The Links at Lawrence would contain 480 one-bedroom and two-bedroom dwelling units surrounding a golf course, which apartment residents would be able to access for free. The public would also get limited access said Hugh Jarratt, project manager.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the city planning staff have already voted to approve the project, but it now awaits the approval of the Lawrence City Commission.
“Our residents have first priority to tee times, but it will be open to the public at a reasonable fee,” Jarratt said. “The fee will be a very competitive price on the lower end of the market.”
Non-residents would have to sign in at the pro shop, pay a fee and wait in line behind residents before they could play. Residents would be able to simply walk on and tee off.
The Links would also include a swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, tanning salon, weight room and a game room with a pingpong table and pool table.
Lindsey Management Company is proposing the project.
If approved by city commissioners, the complex would go up outside of city limits about a half-mile north of Sixth Street, west of Queens Road said Mary Miller, the city planner in charge of the project.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the city planning staff have already voted to approve the project, but it now awaits the approval of the Lawrence City Commission.
The decision would have been made at Tuesday’s city commission meeting, but adverse weather conditions prohibited the applicants from attending the meeting.
Jarratt said he thought the consideration will be rescheduled for Feb. 12, but that has not yet been announced by the city.
