Golf in St. Louis

St. Louis is Missouri's largest metropolitan area and one of America's great river cities, built where the Missouri River joins the Mississippi to create the mighty waterway that defined the American interior. The Gateway Arch's soaring stainless steel curve symbolizes the city's role as Gateway to the West, while the St. Louis Cardinals baseball heritage, the Blues hockey dynasty, and the Anheuser-Busch brewing legacy create the cultural identity of a city proud of its Missouri roots. St. Louis's fragmented municipal structure and the city-county separation create a complex political geography unlike any other major American metropolitan area. 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.
