Why Old Hawthorne?

Posted on August 9, 2023 by oldhawthorne — Leave a comment

Since opening in 2007, we’ve been warmly received as the place for the best round of golf and the hottest residential community in Mid-Missouri!

The Club at Old Hawthorne sits on 631 acres of what was once a horse farm, hence the horse featured in our logo. So, where stallions once romped and roamed the rolling hills, today golfers stride manicured fairways and families select wooded lots to put down their own roots. The original portion of the clubhouse was built in 1938 as an exact replica of President Andrew Jackson’s home, “The Hermitage.”

The centerpiece of Old Hawthorne is the championship golf course, which was designed by renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills. Hills is known for his strategic designs that incorporate the natural landscape. Our course features rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and challenging greens, providing an excellent golfing experience for players of all skill levels.

Old Hawthorne offers exclusive membership opportunities to its patrons. Members can enjoy a range of amenities, including the golf course, practice facilities, a pro shop, pools, tennis courts, and a clubhouse. The clubhouse features dining options, event spaces, and other recreational facilities, making it a hub for socializing and relaxation.

Over the years, we’ve gained a reputation for hosting some pretty incredible golf tournaments. For example, the Missouri State Amateur Championship, the Columbia Golf Foundation Junior City Championship, the NCAA Tiger Invitational, and the American Junior Golf Association Stan Utley Youth Golf Foundation Junior Championship. These events attract top golfers from around the region and contribute to the club’s recognition in the golfing community.

We actively engage with the local community. Old Hawthorne has partnered with charitable organizations and hosted fundraising events to support various causes. The club also offers junior golf and tennis programs and provides opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills.

Did you know, we have been consistently ranked as one of the best golf courses in Missouri? The club’s commitment to excellence and its contribution to the sport of golf have garnered recognition from both members and golfing authorities.

The Club at Old Hawthorne continues to thrive as a premier golf destination in the region. With its well-maintained course, top-notch facilities, and a vibrant community, it remains an integral part of Columbia’s golfing culture.
