Overview

Situated just south of St. Louis and a few miles from the Illinois and Missouri border is Dalhousie Golf Club, a Gary Nicklaus-designed club that opened in 2002 and features elevation changes defended by a mix of Allister MacKenzie-style fairway bunkering and Jack Nicklaus-esque greenside traps. Tumbling zoysia fairways protected by fescue and bluegrass rough allow for a variety of creative shot selection into perfectly manicured bentgrass putting surfaces. Dalhousie truly shines during the challenging six-hole stretch from holes 11 to 16, featuring the reachable par-5 15th with expansive views of the property and old-growth forest in the backdrop.
