ST. LOUIS - s4story -- A longtime local golf course is swinging into a new chapter! Valor Bluffs invites the community to celebrate its grand opening with a special community event on July 11, marking the transformation of the former par-3 course into a destination dedicated to recreation, remembrance and service.
Located at 15401 Turley School Road in Bonne Terre, Valor Bluffs has been reimagined under new ownership while preserving the spirit of the course once operated by local educators. The newly branded nine-hole course honors the men and women who serve their communities and features a memorial dedicated to fallen first responders, creating a place for reflection, remembrance and celebration of their lives.
"Valor Bluffs was created to be more than just a golf course," said owner Craig Taylor. "We wanted to build a place where families, friends and neighbors can gather while also recognizing the sacrifices made by those who protect and serve our communities. This course has long been a part of Bonne Terre, and we're honored to continue its legacy while creating new opportunities to give back."
