Comments
Franklin County Country Club is located in Washington/Krakow, MO about 30 miles west of St. Louis. FCCC is as nice a rural country club as you will find in Missouri. Since Washington, MO is so close to St. Louis I am hesitant even calling it a rural club, but I expect that almost every member is from Franklin County.
The course was built on rolling hills with zoysia fairways and tees. The medium-sized greens have some pretty significant breaks and are faster than you typically see on a rural course. They are generally in excellent condition, rolling true. The only trouble spots on the greens are where air flow is restricted. The roughs are a consistent, thick fescue cut short enough that lost balls will be kept to a minimum. All grasses are in excellent condition. Portions of the fairways are very narrow but fairly well groomed. The sand traps, too, are in fairly good condition but, to compete with the nicer clubs in STL, need a little more edging. The course is in excellent condition and is a good value, particularly compared to STL clubs.
