Developing young golfers. Developing young Women & Men. |

The Junior Golf Program at T&C promotes player development, knowledge of the game, the rules of golf and proper golf course etiquette. Young people are taught to appreciate the social and competitive facets of the game. These experiences foster an appreciation of values such as honor, respect and sportsmanship that participants will hopefully carry with them throughout their lives. | | |

Welcome to Town & Country Club |
|
|
As the first "country club" in Minnesota, Town & Country Club was more of a social organization inspired by the clubs in Saint Paul that were formed as a nucleus of the annual Winter Carnival. A residence on Lake Como was the first clubhouse in 1887. |
|
The Club moved to its present home at the Marshall Avenue Bridge on the Mississippi River in 1890. Today, this "country club" is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, but in 1890, it was in the boondocks of Saint Paul. |

The United States Golf Association was formed by five clubs in December, 1884, for the purpose of conducting a national championship. Today the USGA conducts 13 national championships as well as administering to the game, its rules, and the rules of amateur status. Today, there are over 8,400 member clubs.
The Town and Country Club is one of the 60 existing organized member clubs, having been admitted to the USGA in December 1897. Most of these 60 clubs were formed specifically as golf clubs, whereas Town and Country was incorporated as a Social Club prior to the inception of the USGA. Town and Country Club is one of the oldest country clubs in the nation.
