Comments
Maryville Country Club is located in Maryville, MO, about 40 miles north of St. Joseph (and about ½ mile from the Northwest Missouri State University campus). This is a very well maintained and mature 9 hole course. Since it is mature (i.e. large, unforgiving trees lining most fairways), accurate drives are a must. The roughs are kept at a reasonable length so your ball should be sitting up nicely in most places. The greens were soft but fairly quick, measuring close to a stimp rating of 10. I was accompanied by two club members, Scott Downden and Bryan Long and Chris Bils, a reporter with the St. Joseph News-Press, doing a story on MoGolfTour.com (click on “News” in menu). We were also joined for the last couple of holes by club general manager, Dick Stuntz. Dick also gave us a tutorial on turf management and the potential ground breaking research he is conducting with various grass. Overall, this is a great little course in NW Missouri, not far from the Iowa border, and definately worth playing if you get the opportunity.
