Normandie Golf Club in Bel-Nor, built in 1901 and designed by Robert Foulis, a disciple of Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews, bills itself as the oldest public golf course still in operation in its original location west of the Mississippi River.

Normandie hosted the 1908 Western Open, won by Willie Anderson, a four-time U.S. Open champion, back when the Western Open was one of the biggest events in golf.

St. Louis Cardinals greats Dizzy Dean, Rogers Hornsby, and Pepper Martin were regulars at Normandie and built homes in the surrounding Bel-Nor neighborhood.
