Still one of the better courses in the area
Spencer T continues to be one of the best courses in the area. If I had to list one issue...playing on the weekend gets to be a little long as there doesn't appear to be a marshal on the course. The last two outings have been a little on the slow. One other minor thing I would consider would be having a beverage cart making the rounds. If there was a beverage cart making rounds, the slow play would be a little easier to deal with.
Overall the course is one of my favorites to play. I'll definitely be returning.

One of the best
This is certainly one of the best in the St. Louis area. Very good condition and an outstanding layout. It has a nice variety of holes and is a fair test of your game. Nice dudes behind the desk and I appreciate the water coolers throughout the course. I will definitely be back.

Palmer's Spencer T Olin as enjoyable and reliable as they come
Conditions in 2021 are as pristine as I've seen them here. Arnie would be proud. From teeboxes to the greens, course is in fantastic shape. Only critical comment would be that there are a few sand bunkers that need some work, but overall management has made this course even better than last year. I will be back a bunch more to play this year for sure!!
