Impeccably maintained. The Country Club of Missouri is a wonderful course, located south of Columbia, Missouri. The club has every amenity you would expect at a higher-end private club. Each hole on the course is flanked by mid-century, upscale ranch houses and it provides an overall pristine golf experience. Nothing is out of place. After passing through the tunnel after the 11th hole, the course’s personality changes dramatically. As long as you do not spray your ball too wildly, you will be able to post a good score. The greens roll true, hold well but are a little slow for the caliber of this course and, fortunately, 3-putts should be kept to a minimum. There are very few, if any, rough/bare spots throughout the entire course. Kudos to the grounds team. My favorite hole was the horseshoe-shaped par 4 17th, which curves around a large lake. On the drive you will have to decide how much of the lake to cut off. Choose wrong and you will end up with a double bogey. The approach shot is also over the lake which gives the green an island feel. Fun hole. I loved The Country Club of Missouri!
This course has a special place in my heart. Not only did I work here during college for 2 years, but I learned the true game of golf on this course. It is a great walkable course that offers a challenging short game, open fairways, and beautiful white bunkers. Short game is emphasized here as the fairway narrows as the green approaches. Greens roll true as they are maintained very well. If you get a chance to play this gem don’t pass it up.
