Description
Bellerive Golf Club 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. The par-5 eighth is one of the toughest holes. This double dogleg crosses left and then right with a creek along the entire right side.
