Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish established the Lewis & Clark course at the Country Club of St Albans in 1992 and it’s one of two highly rated 18-hole layouts to be found at the best 36-hole facility in Missouri. The other course, named Tavern Creek, is a Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry co-design which appeared five years after its older sibling debuted.
Named after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who led the first American expedition to cross the western portion of the United States from Pittsburgh in the early 19th century, the Lewis and Clark course has hosted a number of local tournaments such as the Metro Amateur Golf Championships, the Missouri Women's Amateur Golf Championship, the Missouri State Amateur Golf Championships and USGA Men's State Team Championship.
The layout can be extended to almost 7,400 yards from the back tees when used for elite amateur events, with even the signature short par four holes at the 5th and 16th stretched in excess of 340 yards.
St Albans completed a $3.5 million upgrade to both of its 18-hole golf courses and the club’s general infrastructure in 2016. A large proportion of that investment included the installation of new drainage, the building of new bridges, and the redesign of the driving range and practice facilities.
