Glen Echo County Club, located in Normandy, Missouri, is a private golf club that was founded by George McGrew and his son-in-law, Albert Bond Lambert. 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. The course hosted the golf events for the 1904 Summer Olympics.

History

The club was designed by James Foulis from Scotland, winner of the 1896 U.S. Open, and built by him and his brother Robert. It opened on May 25, 1901 and hosted the golf events for the 1904 Summer Olympics. The LPGA Tour visited the course, hosting the St. Louis Women's Invitational in 1954, 1964, and 1970.
