The Courses at Forest Park

The Courses at Forest Park is a public golf and event destination set within Forest Park, one of the nation's largest urban parks, minutes from downtown St. Louis. Originally established over a century ago and redesigned in the early 2000s by Hale Irwin's firm, the facility features 27 holes across three distinct nine-hole layouts — Hawthorne, Dogwood, and Redbud — alongside an award-winning clubhouse with panoramic views of the course, a lake, and a waterfall. The clubhouse hosts weddings, corporate functions, fundraising galas, and social celebrations for up to 300 guests. The Champions Room features floor-to-ceiling windows, 16-foot ceilings, and a skylight, with a garden trellis for outdoor ceremonies and a covered verandah overlooking the fairways. For smaller gatherings, the Golf School Room accommodates up to 50 with a fireplace and private entrance, and the Tournament & Event Pavilion seats up to 180 with an outdoor fireplace, cooking station, and full sound and lighting. Dedicated event coordinators and customizable catering are available for all occasions.
