Golf in Jefferson City

Jefferson City is Missouri's state capital on the Missouri River, one of the smallest state capitals in the country by population but one of the most dramatically situated, with the capitol building's dome visible on the river bluffs for miles. The governmental economy sustains a professional class of legislators, lobbyists, attorneys, and state employees, creating a stable mid-sized city of approximately 43,000 that takes considerable pride in its role as Missouri's seat of government. The Missouri River's bluffs and the surrounding Ozark hill country create a capital of distinctive natural character. The broader Missouri community's investment in outdoor recreation reflects a quality-of-life commitment that sustains golf courses alongside parks, trails, and civic institutions that define what makes a Missouri community worth living in.
