LOG CABIN CLUB

The rolling Missouri hills thirty minutes west of downtown deliver a surprisingly muscular test that rewards precision over power through dense hardwood corridors. Elevated tees launch drives into valleys where dogleg holes demand course management, particularly the downhill par-4 13th that tempts big hitters into trouble with water guarding the green's left flank. What separates this layout from typical midwest fare is the dramatic elevation changes—nearly 200 feet from highest to lowest point—that create optical illusions and force club selection decisions most St. Louis golfers rarely face.
