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.
Great deal
You can’t beat this deal in the greater St. Louis area.
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.
Great overall course
Long course that is very well maintained, very tough greens that are in great shape
Slooooow Play
Love this course but every time I am plagued with slow motion golf. 4 hrs for 18 on a Tuesday afternoon is ridiculous what is a weekend like? Do you need a hotel room? 5 somes and yes, even a 6 some today!
Course in its usual great shape, save the standard Metro Least moonscape greens thanks to bumpkins that don’t know how to repair ball marks, cmon hicks, getcha a divot tool for Christmas!!
Super slow
Every hole has at least three groups, 4 groups on most holes. Super slow. Be aware
Awesome layout, above average conditions for October, will be back
I played a partial round a couple years back before thunder and lightning prematurely ended a tournament. Finally got back out there and the course did not disappoint. Best conditions of any public course I've played the past two month that have been very dry. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in great shape. A ton of fun with wide views out of the tee box, rewarded for accurate drives, and technical greens. Staff could afford to smile, but will be back based on the golf, not the warmth of service.
Play here
Course was in good condition. Good pace of play. The driving range was not in the best shape
