About this course

Westwood Country Club sits in the western suburbs of St. Louis, established in the mid-twentieth century as a private club serving the region's growing residential communities. The course reflects the design sensibilities of its era, with tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes characteristic of Missouri's rolling terrain. The property occupies land typical of the St. Louis area, where hardwood forests meet open meadowland and the underlying topography offers enough movement to create variety without dramatic slopes. The layout incorporates several water features and strategically placed bunkers that define playing corridors and green complexes. Mature trees frame many holes and come into play on approach shots, rewarding accuracy over distance on a number of occasions. The greens vary in size and contour, with some featuring subtle breaks while others present more pronounced undulations that test short game skills. Westwood has served as a gathering place for St. Louis-area golfers for decades, hosting club championships and regional amateur events that draw competitors from across Missouri and neighboring states. The club maintains traditions common to established Midwestern private clubs, with active member play throughout the season and social programming that extends beyond golf. The clubhouse provides dining and event facilities that anchor the member experience, reflecting the club's role as a community institution in its part of the metropolitan area.

Getting there

Westwood Country Club sits within easy reach of St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), roughly twenty minutes south of the city center via Interstate 55 and the tree-lined residential corridors of the South County suburbs. The drive itself traces a gentle descent from the urban core into the rolling, wooded landscape that defines this corner of the Missouri River valley - a transition marked by the gradual shift from commercial thoroughfares to the quieter, manicured streets of the Westwood neighborhood. For those arriving by private aircraft, Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS) in Chesterfield offers a more intimate alternative, positioning you just minutes from the club's gates. The final approach unfolds through established residential grounds, where mature oaks and maples frame the entrance to Westwood Country Club, a setting that speaks to both accessibility and the understated elegance of St. Louis's most enduring private institutions.
