Westwood

There's a wealth of the history of Westwood Country Club, both when it was founded as an institution to serve the St. Louis Jewish population more than a century ago as well as the myriad of players that have stepped in to alter the golf course in the years since. The course was originally designed by a professional Harold Paddock, and Bill Diddell changed the course's layout a decade afterward.

Art Schaupeter completed a bunker renovation for the club in the mid 1990s, working alongside Keith Foster and he returned twenty years later to complete an additional bunker overhaul. "I am delighted with the increased impact of the bunkers for the golf experience," said Schaupeter. "The players have been awed by how clear they appear in the present, and even when you look across the course from various high points. This has totally changed the appearance and appearance of the track."

In the late 20th century, Westwood hosted several important regional competitions, including events like the Western Open. In 1938, Ralph Guldahi won by seven shots to win his third consecutive Western title, and in 1952 Lloyd Mangrum eased to victory by eight shots over the South African's Bobby Locke.

But, holes such as No. 17, which stretches to two fairways that are separated with Deer Creek across the middle. The more secure route of the two fairways has a low chances of completing the fairway in two places, however those who take a chance on the creek might be rewarded with the chance to score.
