Few country clubs in the St. Louis area carry the quiet prestige of Westwood Country Club, one of the region's long-established private institutions where membership is earned and the course is protected from the public eye. Without broad tournament exposure, Westwood has built its reputation the old-fashioned way — through generations of members who return season after season and know every slope and subtle break by heart.
St. Louis sits at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and the surrounding landscape rolls with the kind of gentle, wooded terrain that rewards course architects and frustrates golfers in equal measure. The area's golf culture runs deep, anchored by a strong tradition of private clubs that have shaped how the game is played and experienced across the metropolitan region.
A par-72 layout at a members-only club suggests a design with room to breathe — a course that likely mixes genuine par-5 birdie opportunities with holes demanding patience and local knowledge. Westwood rewards those who know it.
