St. Louis Golf
Going to be in STL next week on Wed-Fri staying at the Sheraton Westport Hotel. With a 11 month old at home, I get very little golf in, so I'm hoping to play once or twice while out there. Can anyone recommend a nice course somewhat close to the hotel? I could probably handle a 20-25 min drive. Wed I'm free in the afternoon (maybe a twilight somewhere very close), but it looks like it's going to be HOT. Thu/Fri I don't have to be working until 11:30a so I could probably get out for 18 with an early tee time.
Anyone else in the area want to join me?

Tapawingo.
On another note there is a neat private course at the St Louis Country Club. It's nearly 100 years old and designed by a godfather of golf, Charles B. Mac Donald. If you know someone with a membership it's worth checking out.

Tapawingo looks perfect, and not too far. Thanks for the suggestion. I had also been looking at Missouri Bluffs, which is a little further out but also looked nice.

Bummer, Tapawingo couldn't get me in until later in the morning and with my tight time window, I don't want to risk showing up for the first tee time and waiting an hour.
Heading to Missouri Bluffs instead. I've also got Wednesday afternoon/evening free. Weather looks terrible for afternoon golf. Is it going to be way too hot to play around 4:30 or 5 on Wednesday?
Also, any good BBQ recommendations? I'll only get to one place while I'm there, so where should it be? I'm a big baby back rib fan, as well as pulled pork and brisket. Was thinking Pappy's or Bogarts, but I don't know about this apricot glaze they have going on at Bogarts. Not a big fan of apricots.
