Fairview Golf Course in St. Joseph, MO is likely the best municipal course in NW Missouri. And it is one of the most difficult courses, for the yardage, in the region. The narrow zoysia fairways are lined with large mature trees. Hit your ball a few yards off of the fairway and you just added one stroke to your scorecard. The layout is also as good as many private clubs in Missouri. The beautiful greens are medium size with some sweeping undulation. So, if this course is so great why does it only score a 3 out of 5 golf balls? The fairways are spotty and the roughs are pretty toasted from the lack of rain and irrigation. If some rich guy in St. Joseph wanted to donate $2+ million to the course, I’m sure they could turn it one of the finest in the state. Meanwhile, this course offers public players a nice course that is a tester.
