Gateway National Golf Links
publicGateway National Golf Links in Madison, Illinois is a nationally recognized public golf destination located on the banks of the Mississippi River, just across from St. Louis, Missouri. The links-style layout is set on reclaimed industrial land along the river, featuring wide open fairways, strategic mounding, pot bunkers, and sweeping Mississippi River views that create a genuinely unique golf experience in the American Midwest. Designed in the Scottish links tradition, Gateway National plays dramatically differently from the parkland courses that dominate the region, with wind playing a significant role in club selection and strategy. The course has been recognized by national golf publications as one of the top public courses in Illinois, drawing destination golfers from across the bi-state region and beyond.

The course was designed by Bob Cupp and is part of the broader effort to transform the Madison riverfront into a recreation destination. It quickly earned national recognition from Golf Digest and other publications as one of Illinois's top public courses, attracting golfers from across the bi-state region.
