Golf in Farmington

Farmington is the St. Francois County seat in Missouri's historic mining district south of St. Louis, serving as the commercial hub for a region transitioning from lead mining to healthcare and recreation. The St. Francois Mountains — some of the most ancient exposed bedrock in North America — create the rugged terrain that surrounds Farmington with distinctive geological significance. Mineral Area College and the regional hospital anchor the community's education and healthcare economy as the mining industry's employment has declined. 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.
