Golf in Joplin

Joplin is the Jasper County regional center in southwestern Missouri, the Queen City of the Tri-State Region where Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma converge. The 2011 EF5 tornado that devastated the city tested Joplin's character, and the remarkable rebuilding effort — including the complete reconstruction of the high school — demonstrated a community resilience that has become nationally recognized. Joplin's economy of healthcare, retail, and manufacturing serves a regional market extending into Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Golf has served this Missouri community as a consistent recreational anchor through economic cycles, providing an outdoor activity that connects residents to the natural landscape in every season that weather allows.
