Metropolitan Amateur

Competing

on August

7-13 at Cherry Hills Country Club

As the 33rd Metropolitan Amateur draws near, the field is set and the course is ready for the show. Persimmon Woods Golf Club, located in Weldon Spring, MO, was established in 1998, and will host this year’s championship. Though not as old as many clubs within the area, Persimmon Woods has forged a name for itself within the greater Metropolitan golf community. The course was designed by course architect Keith Foster and is now overseen by Superintendent Nick Scheible. Featuring native grasses, wildflowers, mature trees, ponds, and creeks, the course is sure to test the golfers, while also allowing them to showcase their incredible talent.

Persimmon Woods Golf Club has hosted numerous championships and qualifiers since its inception. Over the years, the club has been gracious enough to lend its fairways to seven USGA Championship Qualifiers, four Missouri Golf Association Championships, the NCAA Division III Men’s National Championship, multiple St. Louis District Golf Association events, and six PGA Professional National Championship Qualifiers. This year marks the third Metropolitan Amateur Championship to be held at Persimmon Woods Golf Club, having hosted in 2003 and 2013. The course will play between 6840 and 6890 yards with a par of 71 for this year’s championship.
