The Piedmont Canyon Club is advertised as one of the prettiest courses in the state, and deservedly so, nestled against Clark Mountain north of town.
Visitors are welcome at the course, which has affordable greens fees of $16 for 18 holes on weekdays and $19 for 18 holes on weekends. Cart rental is also available.
The newly refurbished pool, with a convenient shelterhouse, is available for members and pool parties. A beautiful clubhouse with large deck overlooking the course, and the lounge, are all available to members.
The clubhouse is also available to rent for parties, meetings or whatever you might be needing it for.
The Club supports men’s and women’s leagues, as well as a newly organized Jr. golf club. Local teachers are available, in season.
Tournaments are being scheduled - at least one a month during the season, and some times several a month - as the Visitor Guide is being printed, but you will be able to get a list of them by visiting the web page. Just look up piedmontcanyonclub.com for directions, maps and other information.
Memberships are available. Call 573-223-7908 or write Canyon Club, PO Box 265, Piedmont MO 63957..

THE WAYNE COUNTY SADDLE CLUB

The Wayne County Saddle Club reports the club is alive and busy, busy, busy. Membership has grown during the past year with many active folks., so new ideas come forth monthly at their meetings.
More new members with more new ideas are welcomed with open arms.
Some of the things the Saddle Club does each year are: trail rides, scheduled and various spur-of-the-moment ones; two horse shows a year; a sheriff’s posse to help with lost persons or whatever the sheriff’s department might need; they do funeral tributes, parades and a St. Jude benefit ride.
A very important project for the past couple years has been the Christmas cards to the troops.
A popular and informative project is the vet clinics where riders can learn about the care and well-being of their horses. A horse dentist is also on the schedule of helpful clinics.
Of course, members also participate in various civic projects around town and the county.
