This is a great course, especially in the summertime when the fairways are green. Bring your putting "A" game as a greens are very fast. This is an Arnold Palmer design course . Only thing negative I could say is the pace of play was very slow, however this seems common for this area.
Fairways
The course is great shape but the fairways r cut to short
Greens
It had been three or four years since I have played Spencer. Tough course, challenging layout and the greens were lightning fast. Everything it makes a course worth going back to. Awesome!
Great Value
Arnold Palmer-designed course. Great layout, target golf all the way. The course is in excellent condition, save for the boneheads that refuse to repair ballmarks on the greens and rake bunkers.
Great value. I was able to get a Hot Deal on a Wednesday afternoon ($10+tax=$13.50, including cart).
I love this golf course, but 6,400 yards from the white tees is a little much for a short-hitter like me. Need to move up to the senior tees next time.
Great AP track
Corse I great conditions greens s little rough shape but mostly putt true. Clubhouse and starter no clue
Well designed course...
Great course and great staff. Really enjoy playing STO. Will be back soon.
Fairways and tee boxes great
Greens burned out a bit. But still putted ok. Not good to look at
Great course in terrific shape
I had always heard good things about the Spencer T. Olin golf course. Having played it, I can see why. The entire course is in great condition - fairways, tee boxes and greens were all well maintained.
Fellow golfers were very nice, as was the staff. I would highly recommend this course, especially for the special rates which are often offered. It's a great value for what you get.
Terrible customer service
We had a tee time there in July 2nd. We got there and it was drizzling when we got there. There was a strong chance of afternoon storms, so we asked about the rain check policy. The pro informed us the policy says if you start in the rain you assume the risk of being rained out. I told him it was barely raining, but who knows 2 hours from now. He said there wasn't anything he could do about it and if we started we would not be given any rain check. We called a course close to there and was told the rain check policy was the same as most courses, and if we weren't half way done we would get a rain check for for 9 or 18 holes depending on where we were when the rain hit. So we went to the other course and spent almost $200 and got all 18 in. The pro at Soencer T Olin turned away $200 worth of business because it was drizzling out. I've never heard of a course with a policy like that.
great game of golf and friendly staff
I thought the greens and the course was extremely well taken care & helpful staff and enjoyed my round of golf very much thank you.
Great Place / Slow Play
I have always like Spencer T. Great layout and usually in good shape. It was slow on the holiday. Full tee sheet, so there was no where to go.
Tough for beginner/intermediate
Nice course, good condition while many St Louis area courses are dry to dead in fairways. Tough for a 100+ golfer...but there are many reasons I shoot 100+. Many blind approach shots and tee shots. I'd like to play here again
Poor management
The course had a high school tournament they shouldn't had any tee times on this particular day. I used my rewards on this course and only got to play 9 holes.
Loved it!
Really nice course. I hear it's not as nice as it used to be so it must have used to be amazing. Great tee boxes and fairways. Most of the greens were great with the exception of a few. Great layout that isn't easy. The greens were very challenging. Staff was friendly. They have great practice facilities. Wasn't busy so can't speak for pace of play. Also didn't eat. I'll definitely be back. Especially for the golfnow price!
Always an Honor
I always love when I get a chance to play this Arnold Palmer design course. For this time of year, the course was in phenomenal shape....HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Not to friendly!!
The second I walked into the pro shop the girl behind the counter did not want any customer to ask an question or bother her in any way. When asked about a shotgun tournament about to start, I was immediately told that she was a professional and that all was handled by her. I wanted to know if the tee times were on time so that I could hit a few balls and putts. That just angered her even more and said that I should understand she was again a professional, That professionalism manifested itself by the tee at number 4. With 8 people waiting on the tee the ranger brought out a single in a cart and told us that he was sorry but the same girl told him to add the single between the end of the tournament and our 4 some on the 4 tee. Really? While waiting for the single who was about a 36 handicap he decided to teach has girl friend cart mate how to play golf . 20 minutes later and now 12 people on the 4th tee we played. WE called the ranger over and said this can't be happening, he made an executive decision and removed the single and his cart mate from the golf course. He was the only person that knew what he was doing.
Terrible!
worst service I have ever experienced! Rude! Unprofessional! I was shocked to ever see this kind of service. I would NEVER recommend this course to anyone.
Lots of ball marks
So I dont know if the golfers donts repair their ball marks or if the grass on the greens just isn't growing very fast, but there were alot of ball marks to contend with. Overall the course is in very good condition and seems to have survived the recent heat wave very well. Play on!
Sprencer T
it had rained the night before so really unfair to say course is in bad shape... but it was pretty darn wet. fortunately we had 90 degree rule. very fair course and pretty friendly for woman as my wife played. our green fees were very reasonable and included lunch. lunch was not the greatest for for the price it was excellent. i always enjoy a visit to spencer T
