Comments
The Golf Club of St. Joseph in St. Joseph, MO is a Par 29, 9-hole course. Their unofficial tagline is “If you can hit our greens in regulation, you can hit them anywhere.” True statement. The greens are round and very, very small; 30′ wide. And, they peak in the middle so even if you land on the green, it will be difficult to stay on. This course is for golfers who want to work on their short game, beginners and golfers of any level who need some instruction from the course’s capable pros. Like most courses in NW Missouri, this course is showing the results of a two-year drought; everything but the greens are pretty toasted. So, do not expect a course in pristine condition but if you need to work on your game give them a shot.
