Golf in Kirksville

Kirksville is the Adair County seat and the home of Truman State University and A.T. Still University, creating one of Missouri's most significant educational communities in the gently varied hills of northeastern Missouri. A.T. Still University holds the distinction of being the birthplace of osteopathic medicine, founded by Andrew Taylor Still in 1892, and the institution's global influence on healthcare has made Kirksville a historically significant medical education center. Truman State's ranking as Missouri's only highly selective public university creates a distinctive academic identity. 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.
