Golf in St. Joseph

St. Joseph is the Buchanan County seat and northwestern Missouri's principal city, the eastern terminus of the Pony Express and the community where Jesse James was shot and killed in 1882. The Pony Express Museum and the Jesse James Home preserve these defining historical moments, and St. Joseph's nineteenth-century prosperity as a river port and outfitting center left an extraordinary Victorian architectural legacy. Contemporary St. Joseph serves as a regional hub for northwestern Missouri and adjacent portions of Kansas and Nebraska. The county seat's role as a commercial and governmental hub ensures that recreational infrastructure like golf courses receives the community investment appropriate to a center serving the surrounding rural population.
