Discover Saint Peters: golf, water and culture

Saint Peters offers several distinct options for a stay: golf at St. Peters Golf Club, non-motorized water activities on the Blueway, paved trails, swimming at the Rec-Plex, and programs at the Cultural Arts Centre. This gives you a starting point for choosing based on the focus of your trip.

Golf at St. Peters Golf Club

St. Peters Golf Club has an 18-hole course situated around a 13-acre lake. From the back tees, the course measures just over 6,000 yards. These key details answer different questions: the number of holes describes the course’s size, the yardage specifies a length measured from the back tees, and the lake shapes the setting. If golf is a focus of your trip, you can use this information to assess the course’s size and stated distance without applying the length to other tees.

Water activities and rentals

There are several access points to the St. Charles County Parks Department’s Blueway trail system in Saint Peters. It is designed for kayaking, canoeing and other activities using non-motorized watercraft. The focus is clear: getting out on the water without a motor. When sorting through leisure activities for your stay, you can distinguish this water-based option from the paved walking and biking trails.

Recreational Equipment Rental rents kayaks, paddleboats, bicycles and surreys. Kayaks are mentioned both among the Blueway activities and on the rental list. The two details answer different planning questions: the Blueway describes what the trail system is designed for, while the rental service lists the types of equipment it rents.

Paved trails and swimming

The city maintains 30 miles of paved walking and biking trails. Their use, surface and total length are specified; the 30 miles describe the city’s trail network as a whole, not a single route. You can take these features into account when planning to walk or ride.

Swimming is offered at the St. Peters Rec-Plex. Program and facility schedules may change, so check the current schedules before your visit. This lets you include the activity in your day’s plans and confirm the actual times in advance rather than setting a visit without checking the schedule.

Creativity and insights at the Cultural Arts Centre

The St. Peters Cultural Arts Centre welcomes people from childhood through their senior years to express their creativity. It also offers guided tours with insights into the facility’s construction, special projects and day-to-day operations. These offer two different ways to explore, depending on your interests: creative activities focus on personal expression, while the tours focus on the facility and how it operates. This makes it possible to experience culture in Saint Peters both through an activity of your own and by learning about how the Centre operates.
