Larry Packard led a lengthy career in golf course architecture, and the club at Sunset Hills was among the first projects on that list. Although representing Illinois, its members are far more likely to support the Cardinals than divisional rivals the Chicago Cubs, as this course fits within the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Many names have come to the property more than 50 years after Packard to leave their mark on the course you currently play, however. That includes Gary and Ron Kern, but Keith Foster’s contributions are probably the most conclusive. The architect is known for his restorations of “Golden Age” courses, and he used that background to renovate Sunset Hills in a style more in line with that aesthetic of bunker and green-shaping.
Although history is always kept in mind, more recent architects have worked to keep the club honest by stretching it past 6,800 yards from the tips.
