Our Host
Norwood Hills Country Club has been known as the destination club for the best amateur golfers in the gateway region for most of the past 80 years. Originally penned as the North Hills Country Club, it slated 45 greens on property and some of the most challenging golf in the region. Norwood Hills has been home to tour pro golfers, the runner up in the U.S. Amateur, many Missouri State Champions, as well as local Gateway Champions. For the future, Norwood Hills hopes to boast that former St Louis Junior Invitational players are among those found playing on the PGA tour, the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and maybe even the Masters.
