Greens are in great shape

We had a great time playing this course today. It’s in a lot better shape than it has been in the past. The greens are in really good condition as well as the fairways. The rough isn’t too thick and was manageable. We are overall very pleased with the course.

Nice public championship course

Good course overall. Challenging from middle tees. But back tees should be reserved for very low handicappers.

AsAlways

As always spencer t did not disappoint me and my fellow golfers in any way. Great place to play a round of golf , if i had to say one thing negative , it would be the pin placement was rather challenging considering the well maintained and fast greens!!!

Not bad for January!!

Course in better condition than I expected for January. Having a mild winter helps. But I love this course for the challenge that it is.

Course in pretty good shape for this time of year. Not a fan of their Covid single cart policy, why do they get to charge extra money when we’re supposed to maintain 6 feet? On a day that didn’t get over 45°, it’s not like they were going to run out of them! Just seems like another chance to gouge us the player.

muni of this quality is rare

Great variety of holes. Nice piece of property, with some changes in topography. No homes along the course. Greens were in good condition. They have a lot of slope and break. What an asset to have a muni of this quality. Can see why it has hosted USGA events. A course of this quality for this price is bound to draw a lot of players.. It was packed and pace of play was slow, our foursome waited on almost every hole. Also, tees and fairways are dormant, with no overseed. Would recommend, as long as you can handle the pace. Maybe bring a book to read.

Bad cart policy

Payed for 2 separate tee times, but are forced to share the cart together. Even though Golfnow says it’s greens fees with cart for both tee times. Only get one cart instead of 2.

Good Conditions For November

Spencer T. Olin is one of my favorite St. Louis metro golf courses. This course tests all parts of your game, especially your putting. Lot of slope on these greens.

The conditions were very good for late November. The greens had small aeration punch marks. There was no sand on the greens and these holes really did not affect your putting. The greens were fast and true,

Pace of play was outstanding. The course did allow a fivesome which we played through. You are also allowed to get single carts if you want.
