About this course
Greenbriar Hills Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape west of St. Louis, is defined by its classic, member-first ethos that celebrates the traditions of the game. The course, a product of the mid-20th century, unfolds across gently undulating parkland, demanding strategic play with subtle elevation changes and mature trees lining the fairways. While not exceptionally long by modern standards, the layout rewards thoughtful club selection and precise shot placement, particularly on approaches to the subtly contoured greens. Originally crafted by a regional architect of some renown, the course has seen thoughtful enhancements over the years. It presents a fair but challenging test, with a premium placed on accuracy over brute power. Doglegs and well-placed bunkers subtly dictate strategy, creating a course that favors the cerebral player who can manage risk and reward. Greenbriar Hills maintains a strong regional presence, known for its active membership and commitment to fostering a vibrant golfing community. A popular fixture amongst members after a long round is the club's celebrated toasted ravioli, a distinctly St. Louis treat. It's a place where the spirit of camaraderie thrives, both on and off the course.

Getting there
Greenbriar Hills Country Club sits in the heart of the St. Louis suburbs, accessible via Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL), roughly twenty minutes north of the club by car through the rolling Kirkwood landscape. The drive south from the airport traces a gentle descent through established neighborhoods and tree-lined avenues that speak to the region's quiet prosperity, with the final approach winding through the manicured residential streets that frame this venerable private enclave. For those arriving by private aviation, St. Louis Downtown Airport (CPS) offers a more intimate alternative just minutes away. The arrival at Greenbriar Hills unfolds without fanfare - a discrete entrance that opens onto grounds where mature oaks and meticulously maintained fairways reflect nearly a century of membership stewardship and architectural refinement.
