-An investment in the future of St. Louis-
from Normandie Reimagined
by Curt Rohe
The $22mil transformation of the famous 122 yr old public/private golf course into a renowned Signature Jack Nicklaus public facility, becoming the hub of community and youth-related golf programming in the St. Louis region.
A not for profit venture by the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association, through its philanthropic arm, the Metropolitan Golf Foundation, and in connection with Beyond Housing.
“The appeal of this project to me was to be involved in an effort that could serve as a catalyst to change needed in our country today, beginning with parts of St. Louis. Restoring Normandie for a community in need will have a long-lasting positive impact on the lives of youth in St. Louis.
“This isn’t about restoring a historic course to it’s former glory or recreating the past. This is about moving our world forward. To an under-served, predominantly black community, and the greatest golfer of all time.
