Bellerive Country Club

About Bellerive Country Club

Bellerive Country Club is a golf country club located in Town and Country, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.

The club opened in 1897 as The Field Club, founded by several St. Louis sportsmen who wanted a place for golf and other leisure activities. The course, which featured nine holes until another nine were added some years later, was built on land leased from the estate of American Revolutionary War war hero Daniel Bissell.

In 1910, the club moved to nearby Normandy and renamed the Bellerive Country Club after Louis St. Ange de Bellerive who in 1765 was the last French governor of Illinois Country.
