Missouri's golf landscape encompasses 95 named courses and country clubs distributed across 87 cities and 37 counties. This directory is compiled from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of officially recognized named places, ensuring that every entry represents a real, established facility organized by geographic location.
The GNIS database catalogs named geographic features rather than active commercial operations, which means this compilation reflects a partial and potentially dated snapshot of Missouri's golf infrastructure. Newly opened courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the federal record. Additionally, the federal gazetteer does not include operational details such as whether a course is public or private, current fee structures, course layout specifications, or management contact information.
Golfers and course operators should use this directory as a locational reference tool to identify and find courses by city and county. For current information about operating hours, rates, booking availability, and facility amenities, consultation of each course's official website or direct contact is necessary.
Missouri golf by county
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Missouri directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
