Golf in Augusta

Augusta is a St. Charles County community in the Missouri River wine country west of St. Louis, designated in 1980 as the first American Viticulture Area in the United States. The limestone river bluffs and the microclimate created by the Missouri River valley create conditions suited to wine grape cultivation, and the Augusta wine trail draws visitors from across the metropolitan area on weekends throughout the growing season. The community's boutique wineries and the scenic Missouri River landscape create a destination character. The county seat's role as a commercial and governmental hub ensures that recreational infrastructure like golf courses receives the community investment appropriate to a center serving the surrounding rural population.
