Five years after the premiere of the Lewis and Clark course, the Country Club of St. Albans brought in the design team of Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry to unveil a spectacular and more member-friendly Tavern Creek course. Similar to the Lewis and Clark course, Tavern Creek is also rich with American history, as multiple Civil War-era gravesites can be found along the route. Tavern Creek is known for its cohesion with the surrounding environment as the course appears to naturally tumble over diverse terrain with running creeks that snake through dense woodlands. The course is defended by its namesake, as the Tavern Creek is in play on 12 holes. Though the tight driving windows and challenging hazards can be stressful, vistas of the Missouri River in the backdrop provide welcome sights.
