Glen Echo County Club, located in Normandy, Missouri,[4] is a private golf club that was founded by George McGrew and his son-in-law, Albert Bond Lambert.[1] Completed in 1901, it was the first 18-hole golf course in St. Louis and the first golf course constructed west of the Mississippi River.[1] The course hosted the golf events for the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1][5]
The club was designed by James Foulis from Scotland, winner of the 1896 U.S. Open, and built by him and his brother Robert.[1] It opened on May 25, 1901 and hosted the golf events for the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1] The LPGA Tour visited the course, hosting the St. Louis Women's Invitational in 1954, 1964, and 1970.[1]
