Bellerive Ranks 2nd in Golf Digest's List of Top Missouri Courses
The magazine released its annual ranking of the top 100 courses nationwide. Six area courses rank in Golf Digest's Missouri Top 10.
Bellerive Country Club ranked No. 2 on Golf Digest's list of the top Missouri courses—a list that includes five other St. Louis-area courses in the top 10.
Bellerive did not make Golf Digest's ranking of the top 100 courses nationwide.
The St. Louis Business Journal noted that the rankings are important to local course owners. The newspaper quoted Josh Riley, executive director of Gateway PGA, saying the rankings help draw players and "validate their facilities" to build membership at private clubs.
