Spring Has Sprung!

Posted by Elizabeth on April 7, 2010

Communities all over the Saint Louis area offer a variety of ways to relax, take advantage of the beautiful weather, and learn ways to get the most out of the spring season!

BALLWIN
Truly a haven for the avid golfer.
Ballwin is home to The Ballwin Golf Course- a nine-hole facility that can play over three thousand yards for hard-hitting golfers, and as short as 2,703 yards for finesse golfers.
Formerly Fox Creek Country Club, this course has been completely remodeled, re-seeded, and rebuilt.  The city has converted the fairways and greens from Kentucky Bluegrass to Meyers Zoysia- a more “golfer-friendly” grass.  The Ballwin Golf Course, nestled in one of Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live,” has been awarded for its quality and hosts a variety of professional tournaments.
