History

The Highlands Golf and Tennis Center has operated within Forest Park for many decades, continuing a tradition of golf in the park dating back to the early 20th century. Forest Park itself was redeveloped for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition (World's Fair), which drew 20 million visitors and put St. Louis on the world stage. The golf facility has been an integral part of the park's recreational programming ever since, serving generations of St. Louis families.
