I went to high school in St Louis and regularly played matches at Bellerive vs Priory.
I haven’t played there in 20+ years but I don’t really get the hate for the property. It’s real nice. I know it’s an RTJ but he made some great golf courses including Peachtree.
I know that we are in a new golden age but some of the stuff built from 1950 to 1970 is still great. Bellerive would be a great club to be a member at.
