'''Lakeside Memorial Golf Course''' is a [golf course](/source/golf_course) located in [Stillwater, Oklahoma](/source/Stillwater%2C_Oklahoma).

== History ==
Lakeside was opened in 1945 by architect and Oklahoma State University golf coach [Labron Harris](/source/Labron_Harris). It served as the home course for the 10-time national champion [Oklahoma State University](/source/Oklahoma_State_University) Men's Golf Team for almost 50 years until the opening of [Karsten Creek](/source/Karsten_Creek) Golf Club in 1994. Lakeside is currently owned and operated by the City of Stillwater.

[Labron Harris](/source/Labron_Harris), OSU golf coach and South Central PGA president, served as Head Golf Professional until 1974.  Lakeside has been the home course and training facility for many notable [PGA Tour](/source/PGA_Tour), [LPGA Tour](/source/LPGA_Tour), and prominent amateur players. Some of the world's most important golf trophies have been on display in the golf shop: the [U.S. Amateur](/source/U.S._Amateur), the [British Amateur](/source/British_Amateur), the team NCAA Championship, the individual NCAA Championship, the [Walker Cup](/source/Walker_Cup), [Western Amateur](/source/Western_Amateur), [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship), American Cup, and World Cups have occupied positions of prominence on the modest mantel alongside less imposing trophies from tournaments such as the [Oklahoma Open](/source/Oklahoma_Open) and Oklahoma Amateur.

In 1998, architect Tripp Davis renovated Lakeside to its current layout. The golf course stretches over 6,756 yards, with SR 1020 [bentgrass](/source/Agrostis) putting surfaces, [Tifway](/source/Tifway) 419 [bermuda](/source/Cynodon_dactylon) fairways, and tee boxes with a mixture of [zoysia](/source/zoysia) and Tifway 419 bermuda. The golf course wanders through mature blackjack [oaks](/source/Oak) in the gentle rolling hills of north central Oklahoma. Lakeside is consistently ranked as one of the top public golf courses in the state of Oklahoma by ''[Golf Digest](/source/Golf_Digest)'' magazine. Lakeside was the recipient of the 2011, 2012, and 2014 South Central PGA Youth Player Development Awards and the 2013 South Central PGA Merchandiser of the Year Award.
