Love the layout
I hadn't played this course in years, because its an hour trip from my home. I love this layout, and the course condition for the price is terrific. I won't wait so long to go back. I will make the trip a few more times this year.
Always fun.
Pace of play was great thanks to another bad weatherman prediction. Great layout, friendly staff. Only issue was the greens seem to need a little attention, but rolled true for the most part. Would recommend.

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE COURSE AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO PLAY GOLF. THE COURSE WAS VERY CHALLENGING AND MY COMPANIONS AND I HAD A GREAT TIME.
Great Course
One of my favorites. We had a great day. The course was in great shape, as usual. The layout and challenges are remarkable. This course always forces me to make both great shots and poor ones when I fail to concentrate.
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
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.
Well designed course...
Great course and great staff. Really enjoy playing STO. Will be back soon.
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!
