TAPAWINGO NATIONAL GOLF CLUB

This Gary Kern design carved through Missouri's rolling countryside delivers championship-caliber golf without the country club pretense, featuring dramatic elevation changes that test every club in your bag across its 7,200 yards. The par-3 17th plays downhill to a peninsula green surrounded by water, demanding both precision and nerve in equal measure. What sets this St. Louis gem apart is Kern's masterful use of natural terrain to create strategic options rather than forced carries, rewarding thoughtful course management over pure power.
