Crown Pointe Golf Club, again rated 4 stars by Golf Digest Magazine, boasts one of the most stunningly beautiful golf courses in Missouri. Nestled in the beautiful rolling hill countryside of Farmington, the course melds gently rolling terrain, a variety of water hazards, and high bluffs. Formerly Eagle Lake Golf Club, Crown Pointe was designed in 1993 by Gary Kern and is located an hour away from St. Louis. Situated on a 208 acre tract of land in Farmington, Missouri, Crown Pointe is comfortably nestled between a luxury neighborhood and scenic farmland. Crown Pointe is unique because you can take advantage of our private club style amenities and 4 star course, while enjoying the convenience of our public course status. The par 72 links-style golf course is 7,069 yards in total length and features 4 par threes, 10 par fours, and 4 par fives. The fairway and tee boxes are a bluegrass and rye blend, while the greens are planted with bent grass.
