Valor Bluffs

15401 Turley School Road · Bonne Terre, MO

Why you should go…

Valor Bluffs is a nine-hole, 1,210-yard par-3 course on the former Pallo's Par 3 site near Bonne Terre, reopened in 2026 with a theme honoring first responders and military. Golfers play rolling hills with water on four holes and more than 20 sand traps, then eat and drink at the outdoor Bites & Bar or the on-course satellite bar called The Turn. A Fallen Heroes Memorial sits on the grounds, and weekends often bring live music, leagues and fundraising tournaments. Open daily, generally 8 am to 11 pm (noon opening on Mondays).

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
