Norwood Country Club
Welcome to Norwood Hills Country Club, the premiere golfing destination in St. Louis, Missouri. We
feature two eighteen hole championship golf courses that are
challenging and enjoyable for everyone from the beginners to the pros,
with the added bonus of no tee times. Norwood country club consisted of an 18 hole golf course, two polo fields,
tennis courts, golf shop and club house, which was in the English Tudor style.
Polo matches were arranged with other clubs in the area such as Suneagles. It was the most exclusive club in the area whose members included the Gimbels,
the Guggenheims and the like. As you entered the foyer, there was a large blue rug with the club seal. The
office was on the right and the stairs to the ladies’ locker room was on
the left. The locker room was done in salmon pink. Beyond the foyer was a huge
room where members came and met. There still remains the massive fireplace on
the left. Here too were large rugs with the club seal. The men’s' locker
room was above the kitchen and there was also a barber, masseur, shoeshine boy
and valet boys whom were dressed similar to bell hops in full uniform with matching
caps. Above the dinning room, there was an apartment for the manager, the last
one being a gentleman by the name of Schwartz.
