Featured Course of the Week
Bellerive Country Club, host of the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAidBellerive Golf Club, host of this week's Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, originally opened in 1897, making it one of the oldest courses in the area. Named after Louis St. Ange De Bellerive, a French commander in North America, the course opened with only nine holes and has since moved from its original site. Relocating in 1955 was left up to Robert Trent Jones, who chose a prime piece of farmland for his new 18-hole design. Ten years later it became the "youngest" course to host the U.S. Open. The lengthy course stretches to over 7,500 yards from the back tees and it is not for the faint hearted. Golfers will face trouble throughout the golf course whether it's on the large, undulating greens or on one of the 11 water holes.
