Sooo windy and cold

January play is tricky anywhere in Missouri. Despite the cold windy day we had a great time. It would have been nice if this highly rated course had windshields on their carts. Really would recommend this course to anybody.

Great Fall Day on Shoal

Shoal Creek is always a fave to play. Great Hot Deals price of $35 too. The course is in great shape albeit the zoysia is now dormant. Greens are almost fully recovered from aeration. The only negative is the fivesome we ran into which slowed up and otherwise fast round.

Great Course, Great Day, Great Time

Love this course! Beautiful. Challenging. Very Playable. The zoysia fairways and collars are like playing off your Living Room carpet. The greens roll true but are large with a lot of character. Best course in town!
