Golf in Viburnum

Viburnum is an Iron County community in the heart of Missouri's New Lead Belt mining district, a company town built around the Doe Run Company's lead mining operations that remain commercially active in the surrounding Ozark highlands. Iron County's mining economy and the remoteness of the Ozark interior create a community whose identity remains inseparable from the extractive industry that built it. The surrounding St. Francois Mountains and the Mark Twain National Forest create the natural backdrop for one of Missouri's most distinctively industrial communities. 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.
