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!
great round
no complaints, other then the Sunday pins being in some ridiculous places, right on ridges etc
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.
Great course , great price
Got out and played here for the first time this Wednesday and I must say I was impressed ! Great layout , greens rolled true even in March , bunkers in great shape. All and all had a great winter round here and will be back for sure !
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.
needed to get outside!
I had not played this course in a long time just because there are courses closer to home but was so happy to have played there the weather was getting worst by the minute but considering the time of the year all of the fairways are dormant but at least you have something under your ball all of the bunkers were raked and ready to go not full of water like some other courses so if you just need to get out during these winter months and the weather cooperates this is the course.
Good course.
Best course in the winter. They seem to keep it in good shape despite the weather.
Great course but......
First off this was the first time I've played Spencer T and I loved the course. The only real issue I had was not being able to get ahold of anyone in the pro shop or the restaurant for over an hour when our cart died. So my playing partner had to walk back to the clubhouse to find another cart. I understand we are in winter but someone needs to be monitoring the phones for emergencies and problems when they are open.
Spencer T Olin
Beautiful course and layout.
I wasn’t ready for the speed and slope of greens, but I look forward to the change again.
A must play if in the area
Great course, except.....
Great course. Greens are nice and the fairways are well manicured. The only down side was the pace of play. Had a group of 4 not including the child, taking 15-20 minutes per swing. We decided to play through (hole 11) and things got intense. Oh, might I add, this is America... land of the free... As we’re on the next hole in front of this group, the alpha male of the group decides to approach us as I was about to destroy this ball. The man proceeds to confront us and then knocks our balls off our tees and tells us we cannot play through. Now keep this is mind... we’re 26 years old (fit) and he’s roughly, 50? (Unfit) Not today pal. Since this man clearly owns this course, we’re not having it. We continue playing, wishing this old man would come back, but does not. End of story.
Par
Nice course. Well kept. Bar staff needs help. Pro shop is solid and fairly priced. Overall B+
Seeing Arnies name always cool.
