The historic Golf Course at Glen Echo offers an unmatched golfing tradition. Opened in 1901, it hosted golf's 1904 Olympic tournament and still flies that singular flag today. Designed by 1896 U.S. Open champion Jim Foulis, Glen Echo delivers his authentic, time-tested layout across rolling, wooded Missouri terrain.
Through careful stewardship and enhancements over the decades, membership has preserved Glen Echo's heritage character and challenges while incorporating modern amenities. Golfers walk amid living history, playing the same graceful, strategic holes challenged by golf's early legends and luminaries. Glen Echo stands alone in the American heartland, blending rich tradition and modern convenience into an unforgettable round.
