A. L. Gustin Golf Course
About A. L. Gustin Golf Course
A. L. Gustin, Jr. Golf Course opened in 1959 on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus, roughly a third of a mile west of Faurot Field on Stadium Boulevard. The land was given to the university by A. L. Gustin, Jr. of Kansas City, with the stipulation that it be used for a golf course.
The 18-hole layout is supported by a clubhouse built in 1997, along with a putting green and a driving range. The course is open to the public, though its primary purpose is serving Missouri students, faculty, staff and alumni.
