Golf in Perryville

Perryville is the Perry County seat in southeastern Missouri, home of the Vincentian Fathers' Saint Mary's Seminary, founded in 1818 as the oldest Catholic seminary west of the Mississippi River. The seminary's two centuries of operation and the surrounding Catholic community's institutional presence give Perryville a distinctive religious heritage character. Perry County's agricultural economy and the community's river country setting between the Mississippi and the Ozark foothills create the southeastern Missouri context. 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.
