The Landings at Spirit Golf Club

About Us

Hailed as a “new and unique experience”, The Landings at Spirit Golf Club is located in the fertile Missouri River Valley of Chesterfield, between the bluffs of Wildhorse Creek and the Spirit of St. Louis Airport only minutes from St. Charles, O�Fallon and St. Louis. Designed by Roger Null, The Landings at Spirit Golf Club is an 18-hole championship public golf course with links-style �zoysia/blue grass� fairways and double �bent grass� greens running from 11 to 13 on the stimp meter. Though the course is expertly designed to be a challenge for the highly skilled golfer; there are five sets of golf tees, the “Super Cub”(blue tees) �Super Connie� (red tees) �Phantom II� (gold tees)�Harrier II� (green tees) and �Hornet� (silver tees) so that we may accommodate golfers of all skill levels.

The Landings at Spirit Golf Club, provides affordable rates timed to fit any budget based on the day of the week and the time of day. This sliding rate schedule discounts fees downward as the sun moves across the sky into twilight and the ultra cheap super twilight. As an added reward every golf player is eligible for our �Frequent Player Card� which earns the player 1 free 18 hole round of golf after completing five paid rounds. Nothing says discount golf like �Free Golf�. Our reputation as the ideal West County golf course for family golf, senior golf, tournament golf, ladies golf, junior golf and league play has set us apart in the industry. Our customers make use of our inexpensive driving range, and at no cost the one acre practice putting green and a separate practice chipping green bordered by a large sand bunker and a deep pot bunker.

The Swing Plane

As an instructor of the golf swing, I believe that it is my duty to help clear up one of golf’s greatest mysteries. How does the golf swing work? What are the necessary fundamentals of a solid, repeatable golf swing, a swing that is repeatable even under the most pressure filled situations?

Swinging on the correct plane is the most difficult thing to do in golf, because it is the most important thing. In fact, in my opinion, the swing plane isn’t just the most important thing, it is the only thing. That is a very strong statement to make, so let me explain.

In golf, you don’t hit the ball. The way you stand doesn’t hit the ball. The way you hold the club doesn’t hit the ball. Your swing doesn’t even hit the ball. The only thing that hits the ball is the golf club. And the only thing that influences the collision of the club and the ball is the angle in which the club is swinging into the ball.

With that being said, the golf club has to do two things when you are swinging it. It has to go up and down, and it also has to go around your body. If the club doesn’t go up enough during the back-swing, it won’t come down enough during the forward-swing to strike the ball. You will swing above the ball, missing it and the ground completely. Conversely, if the club goes up too much during the back-swing, it will come down too much during the forward-swing. The end result will be hitting too much of the ground, which will look and feel like a chopping motion. Remember the statement I made earlier though, the club also has to go around your body, so too much or not enough around with the golf club will also have a disastrous effect on the direction and trajectory of the shot.

ADULT AND JUNIOR CLINICS

The Landings at Spirit Golf Club has offered junior golf instruction for the past 8 years and PGA Director of Instruction Don Gorin has been instructing juniors for over 15 years. The facility will continue to provide trained and experienced instructors to help promote a lifetime sport.

Our camps consist of range instruction on the full swing, short game, and on-course playing, while learning course etiquette and the rules of the game.

Each camp session will have a maximum of 8 students per class and a minimum of 4. This will ensure plenty of individual instruction.

We want each of our campers to experience a fun and enjoyable time while learning the proper way to play the game of golf.
