DALHOUSIE GOLF CLUB

The rolling terrain along the Mississippi River bluffs creates natural elevation changes that most Missouri courses can only dream of, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature hardwood corridors. The greens here are surprisingly slick and undulating for a municipal track, demanding precise approach shots on holes where the margin for error shrinks considerably. What separates this Cape Girardeau gem from typical river-town golf is how the routing takes full advantage of the topography, particularly on the back nine where doglegs around ridgelines reward local knowledge and punish the overconfident.
