Comments
Normandie Golf Club in St. Louis, MO is the oldest public golf course west of the Mississippi. So, it is obviously very mature with many large trees lining the fairways. It plays long and the slope rating belies its difficulty. For example, the Par 3 18th hole is 246 from the blue tees and 234 from the whites. I do not know of any “white tee” players that can consistently drive over 220 yards. It is not in pristine condition but the fairways and greens are generally in good condition. The course was sold to the University of Missouri – St. Louis in 2015, who has committed to maintaining it as a golf course for at least 10 years. I know of many golfers who love Normandie Golf Club and play there as often as possible. The course has adopted a dynamic pricing structure so you can play for less than $20 quite often, providing an excellent golfing experience and value.
