The ninth hole at Bellerive Country Club.

Bellerive Country Club began in 1897 in north St. Louis and was known as the St. Louis Field Club. In 1910, the membership incorporated as Bellerive Country Club, naming the club after Louis St. Ange De Bellerive, the last French commander in north America. That same year, Robert Foulis designed the "new Bellerive" in Normandy, where the club remained for 50 years.

The membership decided to move west in 1955 and allowed renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. to pick a prime farm location for the new site. The "Green Monster of Ladue Road" opened on Memorial Day 1960.

The golf course recentlyl underwent a year-long renovation and reopened in October 2006. Rees Jones, son of original architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., was entrusted with this project.

Past major championships held at Bellerive Country Club include:

  • 1949 Western Amateur
  • 1953 Western Open
  • 1965 U.S. Open
  • 1981 U.S. Mid-Amateur
  • 1992 PGA Championship
