Opened in June 1939, Langston is known for its triumphant role in the desegregation of public golf, and the course has been integral to the growth of the game’s popularity amongst African Americans. With its celebratory feel, Langston shows us golf is not only a uniter of people, but of generations. (click on the link below for a short video)
