Pheasant Run Golf Course

I was one of only a few people playing this course this morning. However, I had the landscape/mowers following me on every hole. This would be fine if they were to shut the mowers off while I was trying to hit my balls, but that was not the case. I felt like I was being rushed all day by not other golfers, but the landscape crew. I understand that maintenance must be done daily, but why didn’t they start me on back 9 where no other people were at(including maintenance). I have played here many times, and most times have been enjoyable, but today was a horrible experience.

Pros:

- 15 of the 18 holes are par 3s, giving you a chance to get to know your pitching wedge.

- Cold water and ball cleaners provided frequently.

- Lights on course allow play at night.

- Easy to get to given its location.

- Easy to navigate - plenty of signs.

- Tee times seemed to be spaced out pretty well, considering how busy they were on the Saturday we went.

Cons:

- Price - $33 for 18 holes on a par 3 course is too high. You can play full-size courses for this price.

- The greens were in rough shape, many of them. I would think more attention would be paid to them since this is such a small course.

- Some of the bunkers were significantly dried out. Our group wouldn't even play out of them for fear of breaking a club. Some of them didn't even offer rakes to cover your tracks after playing out of them.

- Some tee boxes were tough to get a tee into. This isn't a big deal since often you'd just need a tee head to set the ball on for your iron.

- The location was busy/noisy. Between the nearby highway and soccer fields nearby it felt like we were on an over-sized mini putt putt course than a true golf course.

- No shade. Be prepared to stand in the sun most of the time you're out there.

TL;DR/Summary - All in all, it's a neat little course that's close to quite a few homes, making it convenient to get a quick round of 9 in or even 18 holes without dedicating a full morning/evening. However, for the price, I cannot recommend it. You're better off driving out a bit to play a full course for the same price. It's great that you get to work on your short game here with an abundance of par 3s (some below 100 yards), but for the cost, I would prefer to play somewhere that offers a better value.

Need to space out tee times better. We had to let 4 parties play through on the front nine alone.

A great place to practice your short game 15 holes are part threes the other three are par fours so you do get to use the driver a few times not the prettiest course but as I said good for practice

Tight, busy, but enjoyable. Listen/Lookout for PARRR!

Course was is good shape after a couple inches rain the night before. Pace of play was good. My wife's first time ever playing. We had a great time

I actually like playing here, but I'm just not going to spend $30 to do it. Most times I can find a full course price for much cheaper. When I do play here it's usually pretty slow going. It is great they are open at night, however it seems they really don't want you to play at night. Again its a fun little par 3 course but they need to lower the price by like $10 per round before me and my buddies go back.

The course is good for a par 3, a couple par 4’s can test you. My only issue is the price. For a small Par 3 course to be as much/more as several local full size courses seems excessive. I’ve played Saint Peter’s, Wentzville, Bear Creek, etc for less than Pheasant Run, so the value is my only deterrent from playing again soon.

2nd time I’ve booked a tee time online and arrived only to be told there isn’t enough players on the course to keep the lights on.. 2 other players were wanting to play.. several carts leaving the 10th hole where we would’ve started for 9 holes.. last time I came I was blocked by a large group getting lessons and high school practice. Always an issue with this place.. course is never in very good condition for what they charge.. go play Heritage of Hawks Ridge if you can play before dark.

The course itself was in pretty good shape. The greens on some holes needed a little attention. There was good cold water and ball cleaners at various points which was very nice. Also had a little trouble with one of the carts....don’t know what the problem was but grabbed another and on my way. Great day!!

the ground was so hard you could not put a tee in the ground, and you had to hit the ball short to make get on the green

A friendly staff, clean and well-kept course layout and a good mix of hole difficulty make this course a very good value for the money.

It took 2 hours to play the front 9. When we got to the back 9 there was 4 more carts just tearing off in front of us. I just stopped playing even though I payed for 18. Don’t recommmend it unless you have 4 hours to play a 2 hour course

People always let you play through. The only thing I don’t like is how they water the greens right as you’re teeing off. Really hard to judge speeds when they look wet.
