About Us

On Acme Road just outside Shawnee, Lodge #657 has built something rare: a place where a stranger can walk in during the 4th of July Golf Scramble and leave feeling like an old-timer. That's not a marketing line. That's what members like Bo Starr and Pete Cantrell actually do, and it shows up in reviews from golfers who came once and brought friends back for three years running.

The lodge sits on a well-maintained course that earns genuine praise for its challenge and upkeep. The pro shop is stocked with everything you need, the cart girl keeps the round moving, and the hospitality is the kind that makes a competitive scramble feel like a reunion. Events like the Shawnee Toy Run draw a different crowd but the same spirit: good people, great service, and a shared purpose.

At its core, Elks Lodge #657 is a fraternal organization rooted in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest civic brotherhoods. The local chapter channels that national mission into real Shawnee impact, funding youth programs, veterans' support, and community initiatives that don't make headlines but absolutely make a difference.

What We Offer

The lodge's golf program is a centerpiece, drawing players from across the region for scrambles, invitationals, and member rounds on a course that balances accessibility with real challenge. The pro shop, attentive staff, and cart service make every outing feel organized and enjoyable, whether you're a first-timer or a returning competitor.

Beyond the fairways, Lodge #657 hosts community events throughout the year, including the beloved Toy Run, holiday gatherings, and member socials that keep the Shawnee community tightly knit. Members gain access to lodge facilities for private events, meetings, and fellowship nights.

Membership in the BPOE also connects you to a national network of Elks lodges, scholarship programs for local students, and charitable initiatives that support veterans and children. Whether you're joining for the golf, the camaraderie, or the civic mission, there's a seat at the table for you at #657.

"Enjoyed all the hospitality of the members, staff and cart girl during this year’s 4th of July scramble. The course was quite the challenge and well maintained. The pro shop had pretty much any necessity you would need and more. I’m glad I went as a members guest because I didn’t realize there was a golf course at the Elks in Shawnee."

"Been coming to the invitational for a few years now. Got some buds to come as well the last 3. We've been treated like Ole timers and couldn't be a better time. Bo Starr and Pete Cantrell showed us hospitality as well as everyone at the club. We enjoy it. Will be back as long as we can each year. Thanks to all"
