Nice Course
Love the course, but Sadly, Too many ball marks not repaired by lazy players... maybe they should give away free repair tools with instructions.
We got a First-Timer here...
This is the first time I have played this course after hearing a ton of great things about it. The course is challenging, and the pin placements today were a bit absurd. It was like we were playing on a Sunday at the US Open. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The greens were a little beat down with unfixed ball marks. The greens were slippery. Pace of play was pretty good. It took until about the 14th hole to catch up to another group that slowed things down. I wish the course would have had something in the cups like every other course I've played in the state of Illinois for the COVID times. Overall, it's a nice course, and I'll play again.
STO
Conservatives was in great shape. I was paired with a Jr golfer who was a phenomenal player which made me step my game up.
GREAT COURSE GREAT SHAPE
I highly recommend...had not played in years and have been back with friends three times since (90m round trip) ...keep it up!! Course in great shape and friendly staff.
Challenging course
Beautiful well maintained course and well organized for Covid situation!
Getcha some.
Spencer got it going on right now. Course is in great shape and green green green. I can only imagine the greens are going to get faster and faster. I live in Phoenix Arizona, now. And boy do I miss courses like Spencer. It’s the shizzle.
Great Course In Great Shape
Spencer T. Olin is one of my Top 5 courses in the St. Louis metro area. The crowd was very light in the morning because I'm not sure people know that they are open with carts now, Our pace of play was outstanding.
The course is really in great shape, especially the greens. They are rolling smooth and fast. I also liked they added the S.T.O. Member tees. Where you play the yellow tees on the longer holes and the white tees on the other holes.
My only complaint is they have just turned the cups upside down due to the Covid-19. Your ball does not always fall down an inch because of the metal sections of the upside cup. It would be better if they use a piece of a Styrofoam noodle like most courses are using.
Great day to play
Great weather and day to play. Kind of a terrible pace of play but that seems to be the norm right now everywhere.
Best course in the metro east
I love this course. The layout is perfect, the staff is wonderful. Mary, the manager is always very helpful. I would play here every day if I could.
Early March and windy
Greens and tee boxes are in great shape. The fairways aren’t grown up yet, so some really tight lies.
Should be real nice in six weeks.
Overall rating
The course was in pretty good shape, considering it is February. They seem a bit understaffed, considering they knew that they had a bunch of golfers with tee times. The lady in the pro shop was also trying to get food and drinks for golfers. She was super friendly and busy. At the turn, however, the guy that took her place seemed like he did not want to be there and that he was doing us a favor getting us anything. We turned around 2 and he had nothing for us to eat. Overall, this is one of the best courses for the money.
