Harmony: Lewis and Clark Course
Gently carved into the breathtaking terrain and deep woods of St. Albans, our two championship courses present golfers with elevation changes, striking vistas and some of the most challenging holes they are likely to encounter in the Midwest.
Course planners utilized the natural creeks, gentle slopes and dramatic terrain changes to craft the courses and add definition to each hole.
As a result, two distinctive courses were created, each presenting unique challenges to golfers.
Created first in honor of the legendary explorers, the 18-hole, par 72 Lewis and Clark Course was crafted by the highly acclaimed design team of TomWeiskopf and Jay Morrish. Challenging for players of all levels, it was voted the 1997 “Third Best Course” in Missouriby Golf Digest. Most recently in 2009, Golf Digest ranked this course as the “Ninth Best Course” in Missouri.
A traditional links course, the Lewis and Clark Course has played host to an impressive array of tournaments since its opening in 1992, including the Metro Amateur Golf Championships, the Missouri State Amateur Golf Championships, the prestigious Missouri Cup Matches, and in 2000, the St. Louis Men’s District Championship.
In September 2009, the Lewis and Clark Course hosted the USGA Men’s State Team Championship. Most recently, the course was once again selected by the USGA to host the 2010 US Open Sectional Qualifier in June.
Harmony: Our Tavern Creek Course
Opened in 1997,the par 71 Tavern Creek Course spans 160 exquisite acres and was designed by famed course architects
Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry to take full advantage of the natural beauty and topography. Picturesque, rock-lined creeks present dramatic holes around every bend, and twelve of the eighteen holes involve uniquely challenging play around creeks, streams or ponds.
To remind golfers of the rich historical significance surrounding the grounds they play on, five fully preserved Civil War-era graves are nestled throughout the course.
In 1998, Golf Digest recognized the excellence of this course by ranking it the “Fourth Best New Private Course” in the United States. In 2005, Golf Digest ranked the Tavern Creek Course as the “Number One Course” in Missourifurther adding to the challenge and the allure of this fine course for members and their guest to seek their perfect game of golf.
In 2009, Golf Digest ranked the course sixth in the State leaving The Country Club of St. Albans with two of the Top 10 Courses in Missouri.
