Sullivan County Country Club in Milan, MO is the last course on this crazy odyssey of mine. Undoubtedly, there will be new courses to open and existing courses to close, but this is the last course on my list of Missouri golf courses, both public and private. Milan is located in extreme north central Missouri about 35 miles from the Iowa border on Highway 5. The course has nine holes on steep terrain but has been cleverly designed to include 2 sets of tees on each hole. On a couple of holes the tee placement gives players a completely different perspective. Hole 5, for example, is a par 4 and on Hole 14 is a par 5 . . . same green, same fairway but it plays much differently. Daniel Cordray, a former professional golfer, maintains the course and, considering that the area has experienced drought conditions, the grasses are in fairly good condition. The greens are built up with false fronts, backs and sides. Many of my approach/chip shots hit a little short on the greens and rolled back down the hill. All in all, this is a fun course to play and I will definitely play it again if I am ever in the area again.
