Jefferson City

In the early 20th century at the turn of the 20th Century, the St. Andrews, born Foulis brothers were in attendance throughout the world of golf whether they were playing in the U.S. Open or establishing their reputation as course designers and equipment manufacturers. Twenty years after, Robert Foulis found himself in Jefferson City, where he constructed the first nine holes of the golf course of the club in 1922.

After a period of four decades, the course's construction, Larry Packard came by and added nine more holes in 1968 (he would return for more adjustments in the years to come) And then Todd Quitno would arrive 40 years later Packard to help restore the course to its former splendor. One of the most notable outcomes of this project was the renovation of the bunkers that are massive and abound at the course's numerous doglegs. Others golfers will appreciate an alternative hazard at the rare crossing of the creek (so long that they aren't in it).

If you're on Route 50, one of America's longest highways it is possible to turn off and get to Jefferson City Country Club within just a few minutes.
