Established in 1944, Meadowbrook Country Club moved to its current 320-acre location at Ballwin sixteen years later, where Robert Bruce Harris fashioned a new course for the members. Gary Kern performed a remodel in 1988 and Keith Foster has since conducted a new millennium renovation.

Meadowbrook

Keith Foster is renowned as one of the best restorers of the classic golf courses. He is also adept at bringing fresh concepts to existing courses. This was the case at Meadowbrook Country Club, west of St. Louis. The layout was originally created by Robert Bruce Harris and -already famous for its difficulty, the difficulty Foster was added to add style to the already famous.

Foster's plan is apparent at the Par 5 no. 6. It is a par five that can be played that requires a number of strategic choices by the golfer. The first is to pull the driver off the tee. Technically, it's an "lay-up" in the fairway to the left and is shorter, but it includes bunkers. It. It can offer a quicker route to the green. If you choose to drive farther to the left, this will make the green more long but at a much more favorable angle. Both options require taking into consideration the pond that is that is in the front of the playing surface. Pick your poison...a few times...on just one hole. No matter what you choose to play, you're either at risk or secure Foster's redesign included widening the fairways so that players have the possibility of a wide range of choices.
