River Valley Community Course, Inc.

The Missouri farmland rolls and pitches through eighteen holes that demand every club in your bag, with elevation changes that can fool even seasoned players into club selection mistakes. Water comes into play on seven holes, but it's the deceptively undulating greens—built to USGA specifications—that separate the wheat from the chaff here. For a public track in the heartland, the conditioning rivals many private clubs, and at these green fees, you'll want to play it twice.
