This 27-hole picturesque golf course was built on the site of the 1904 Worlds Fair. Many other historic buildings reside on the golf course property. The course sits in the middle of historic Forest Park and on the weekends golfers can anticipate seeing 10,000 people jogging, roller blading, picnicking or strolling the parkway enjoying the view. The master plan for redesigning and modernizing the course is currently completed, and all 3 nines are finished and open. The 18-hole course rotates between the 3 nines on a daily basis. | Directions | Print Driving Directions   | | Located within Forest Park on the West end across from Washington University.
