Ruth Park Golf Course St.Louis

Ruth Park Municipal Golf Course in St. Louis is a classic layout established in 1931, originally known as University Golf Course. Designed by renowned Scottish golf architect Robert Foulis, the course features tree-lined, hilly terrain characteristic of the region west of St. Louis. The layout combines Zoysia grass on tees and fairways with bent grass greens, creating a challenging yet accessible experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The course is situated on naturally undulating landscape that provides varied elevation changes throughout the round. Robert Foulis's design philosophy emphasizes the integration of the natural terrain, making the course both visually appealing and strategically demanding. The difficulty is calibrated to challenge players without becoming unenjoyable, balancing playability with the aesthetic appeal of its natural setting.

Ruth Park has served as a favorite destination for regional golfers for nearly a century, hosting various tournaments and golf events. The facility offers comprehensive amenities including lessons, GHIN handicap services, and online tee time booking. The course remains a municipal venue committed to providing quality golf in a naturally beautiful setting just outside St. Louis.
