the course has true and fast greens
The course had very few people playing at early afternoon so was able to play a round in just under 4 hrs. which was great. The course was in excellent condition.
Excellent day out
Took my brother for his first time at Spencer T. We all had a great experience. Can't wait to go back.
Had a morning tee time, so we had the included breakfast buffet befor the round and the lunch after the round. Food was good and plenty of it.
The course was in excellent condition. Fairways well maintained. The green were a little quick for our skill, but in great shape.
One of the best values in STL
This golf course and overall atmosphere has come a long way in the past couple years. The speed of the greens rivals almost any private club in the area. The clubhouse has been remodeled and looks great. Just a highly recommended place to play for anyone living in or visiting STL. Pace of play is the only negative issue, but they did have an event going on at the same time we were playing.
New Management; Excellent Course
I love this course. Arnold Palmer design. It's part of Gordon Moore Park, at one time the dairy farm for the state hospital across the highway. Part of a huge park, so no houses anywhere; ideal for its park setting. Course is challenging; requires every club in the bag. Real values, too - including "all inclusive" deals for seniors, with breakfast, lunch, and 18 holes with cart. Zoysia fairways, so generally in good condition. New management has redesigned the clubhouse and pro shop, so now can accommodate larger crowds with banquet seating for 180 indoors, plus a large gazebo outdoors.
Very fair course, with few hidden tee shots. Most difficult holes are #7 and #15. Includes a par-30 walking course in addition to the championship course, plus good driving range.
Great course, played terrible
The course is in outstanding shape, the greens very fast and I played the worst round in 3 years. But I am going next week and expect to shave 10 strokes off my round.
Winter
Played bear creek sun not even comparable Spencer is in great shape for winter They're going through rehab inside I'm sure it will be great by spring
Nice break in the cold
Course was in good shape, for the middle of January. Great day and fun was had by all.
Great design and well groomed
I've heard about this course for a decade or more but have not played there until this week. What a gem! Well worth the 35 mile drive!
Great Course
I played my round in 20+ mph winds and it was cold, but it was still worth the price we paid to play this course. Spencer T. Olin is one of my favorite courses in the area and has some tricky holes while not being impossibly difficult. The staff was very friendly and tried to accommodate us in every way. Sometimes you deal with slow players in front of you and that's what happened to us. I can't fault the course or the staff for that. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a bit of a challenge on a well manicured course.
fun layout
Great greens. Layout makes you use all the clubs in your bag.
Spencer T worth the drive, beautiful landscape
Nice, very fast and challenging greens that many seem to have substantial breaks, keeps your scores in check but kind of fun. Many sand traps but all in pretty good shape. Kind of disappointed in golfers that didn't repair ball divots all over the place. Fairway grass is good and most shots very playable.
Hard to lose balls as mostly wide open and nicely spaced trees. Will play again, used the Golf Now online special for a great fee of $26 per man.
spencer t Olin
Grate course. Good condition. Could use more water jugs.
Not impressed
The greens were awful. The Marshals wouldn't speed anything up. Course was really nice a year ago and they just let it go.
Park setting
I loved this course, felt like I was in a park. No two holes were the same, which made it fun and interesting to play. Greens were in great shape, fairways were good--needed some weeding. The staff was friendly and welcoming. If you play after 2pm you can keep playing, I couldn't get enough.
Well designed. Mixture of doglegs, water and trees. Difficult but fair
Great course. Greens a little rough because of pitch marks
Shape of course
Greens excellent shape and rolled good, fairways being reseeded on about 6 of them.
IN Outstanding condition
Great course, excellent condition, rate of play very good. Tough but fair.
