A 15-hole oddity perched above the Mississippi River in southeast Missouri
A 15-hole oddity perched above the Mississippi River in southeast Missouri. The layout climbs and descends the bluffs overlooking the river valley, which means you'll earn your walk here. Private clubs with unusual hole counts often trace back to land constraints or quirky founding decisions, and Cape Girardeau fits that mold. The terrain rewards players who can work the ball both ways as holes wind through mature trees on rolling ground. Walking is the traditional way to play, though the elevation changes will test your legs on warmer days. Worth the effort for the views and the novelty of finishing on 15.
