Golf in Carthage

Carthage is the Jasper County seat in southwestern Missouri, celebrated for its Victorian courthouse square and the nearby Route 66 nostalgia that connects the city to the historic highway's cultural significance. Carthage's Civil War history — the Battle of Carthage was one of the first significant engagements of the war — and the Precious Moments Chapel's international visitor draw create a community with remarkable historical and contemporary cultural layers. Carthage marble from the local quarries has been used in significant buildings across the country. Missouri's varied geography creates distinct regional characters for each community, and the local golf course reflects the landscape, economy, and community culture of its specific corner of the Show-Me State.
