Very nice course. Great condition. Forgiving fairways and greens. Play was a little slow but it was a beautiful day so it was okay.

Glad Spencer T. Olin is Open Again

Spencer T. Olin just opened up again in mid-August, after a large sinkhole developed on a soccer field, just west of the 10th hole. It has been closed since late June (nearly 2 1/2 months), as they investigated the area to ensure it was safe to play.

Spencer T. Olin is one of my favorite courses to play in the St. Louis metro area. The weekday senior rate of $38 is the best you can get on this upscale golf course.

Overall, the condition of the course was very good. Only exceptions were the greens were on the slow side. The 4th and 13th greens had some bad areas. The pace of play was slow - a 5-hour round. The rough was really high, which slowed play because it was difficult to find your ball.

The course has decided to change the nines to their original layout. So, the first hole is the par 5, on the north side of the parking lot

this is an excellant course

Spencer T. has always been one of my top 3 courses to play in the Metro area for the money. They keep the course in excellent shape. The greens are always great and the course is beautiful. I hope they don't jack up their prices like all the other courses I used to play but will not anymore because they are too pricey. Example, I use top play Far Oaks last year in the afternoons for $36. Now they want like $70. Gateway has just lost their minds for what they are asking to play and they don't even begin to compare to Spencer T. I've always loved this course and will continue to drive the distance to play. Keep up the great work!!

Slow

The course is nice. The pace of play was closer to stop than it was to slow. At each tee box there was one or two groups waiting to tee off. We finally quit after 14 holes and 4 1/2 hours.

Only 1 problem

“Golfers” not repairing divots. Those who don’t, especially on a course that’s well taken care of, should be blacklisted.

Love this course

Such a challenging course. Course was in good shape. The greens were super fast and had some bumps on them.

But overall this is a great course and for the cost. You can’t beat it.
