With a population of just over 1,000 residents, Paris, MO has a pretty darned nice golf course, Mark Twain Country Club. There are a variety of looks to the holes, from a wide open field to a narrow chute off of the tee. The greens are the best part of the course and are in excellent condition for the part. They are not typical of the small, round greens you will find at most rural courses. These have some interesting shapes and contours. A few of them need a little TLC but I think their members will put in the time and effort to correct this issue. Water hazards come into play on a few holes but there are no sand traps. The residents of the community obviously take pride in this course. I wouldn’t drive from St. Louis to play the course, but I would definitely love to play it again if I was in the area.
Was curious if you knew the results of the tournament you held today?
