PRIVATE FACILITY OF THE YEAR
St. Louis Country Club
Host of the 31st Metropolitan Amateur Championship in August, St. Louis Country Club was an incredible venue for MAGA’s premier amateur event this past August. The C.B.

Tim Burch – St. Louis Country Club
Tim Burch and his staff at St. Louis Country Club hit a home run in their preparation for MAGA’s amateur championship in early August. The staff worked long hours in the days leading up to and during the championship to get their historic venue in pristine shape for the region’s best amateurs.

Ryan Johnson – Sunset Country Club
Ryan Johnson and the golf shop staff played host to Ellen Port’s historic win at the 29th Metropolitan Senior Amateur in August. During the blistering heat over the two days of competition, Ryan and his staff played a crucial part in making sure their venue was ready to host MAGA’s premier senior men’s championship.
