Getting there
Most arrivals to Highlands Golf & Tennis Club touch down at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), a compact fifteen-minute drive east into the heart of Clayton and Ladue's leafy estate country. The route follows Interstate 170 south before slipping onto quiet residential lanes where stone walls and mature hardwoods signal the transition from city grid to country club enclave. Highlands sits discreetly among these wooded properties, its understated entrance offering little fanfare - a fitting arrival for one of St. Louis's most historically selective private sanctuaries.
