Winterstone Golf Course

WinterStone opened in 2003 in Independence, Missouri, designed by Craig Schreiner Golf Course Architects. It grew out of a limestone mining project: Harlan Limpus, owner of Rocca Processing, bought about 150 acres and opened a mine there in 2000, then built the golf course on the same property. The course is named for the Winterset limestone formation beneath it. It is a daily-fee, public-access course that is privately owned rather than municipal.
