    Bellerive Country Club 12925 Ladue Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63141 314-275-9458 Fax: 314-439-5231 Agronomic Development Program Our History Bellerive Country Club, founded originally in 1897 in north St. Louis as a nine-hole course with 166 members. In 1910, the membership incorporated as Bellerive Country Club, naming the club after Louis St. Ange De Bellerive, the last French commander in North America. In 1955, the club membership decided to move west, and allowed renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr. to pick a prime farm for the location of the new site. On Memorial Day, 1960 the “Green Monster of Ladue” opened. The Championship tradition of Bellerive Country Club began in 1965 when the club became the “youngest” course too ever host a US Open. South African, Gary Player won the event, and completed his career grand slam. Since its unveiling to the world, Bellerive has went on to host many national and world championships, 1981 the club hosted the US Mid-Amateur Championship, won by Jim Holtgrieve. Nick Price captured his first major by winning the 1992 PGA Championship here at Bellerive. In 2001 the American Express World Golf Championship, scheduled for September, was cancelled due to the events on 9-11. Major Championship golf returned to the club in 2004 with the US Senior Open won by Peter Jacobsen. In 2008, Bellerive put out its hosting mat welcoming the BMW Championships. The PGA returned to the club this past May as we hosted the 2013 Senior PGA Championship. The 2018 “Glory’s Last Shot” returns to our historic facility, as we will play host to the 100th PGA Championship.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.
