The Country Club of St. Albans offers two distinctive 18-hole courses to appease all levels of players... Lewis & Clark and Tavern Creek. Course planners utilized the natural creeks, gentle slopes and dramatic terrain changes to craft the courses and to add definition to each hole. Both courses are appropriately ranked in the Top 10 Courses in Missouri by Golf Digest.
Lewis & Clark No. 11 & 12
Lewis and clark course
Created first in honor of the legendary explorers, the 18-hole, par 72 Lewis & Clark Course was crafted by the highly acclaimed design team of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. A traditional links course, the Lewis & Clark Course has played host to an impressive array of tournaments since its opening in 1992, including the Metro Amateur Golf Championships, the Missouri Women's Amateur Golf Championship, the Missouri State Amateur Golf Championships, the prestigious Missouri Cup Matches, the St. Louis Men’s District Championship, the USGA Men's State Team Championship, the USGA US Open Sectional Qualifier, and hosted the 2017 Junior PGA National Championship (for both girls' and boys' divisions).
Tavern Creek No. 9
tavern creek course
Opened in 1997, the par 71 Tavern Creek Course spans 160 exquisite acres and was designed by famed course architects Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. Picturesque, rock-lined creeks present dramatic holes around every bend, and twelve of the eighteen holes involve uniquely challenging play around creeks, streams or ponds. To remind golfers of the rich historical significance surrounding the grounds they play on, five fully preserved Civil War-era cemeteries are nestled throughout the course. Although the Lewis and Clark course has hosted more competitive events, Tavern Creek has enjoyed a higher ranking over much of the time since its inception 20 years ago (was ranked as the #1 course in Missouri as recently as 2006 - Golf Digest).
