Golf in Washington

Washington is the Franklin County seat on the Missouri River, the Corn Cob Pipe Capital of the World where Missouri Meerschaum has been manufacturing corncob pipes since 1869, creating one of America's longest-running specialized manufacturing traditions. The community's German heritage — reflected in the downtown architecture and annual German festivals — connects Washington to the nineteenth-century immigration that populated the Missouri River wine country. The river setting and the pipe manufacturing heritage create a community of genuine American character. 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.
