Spencer T. Olin Golf Course

Great value for this time of year given the spring we've had in St Louis.

The course was in great shape except for #4 Green which is being worked diligently by the staff to get it back to normal after being ravaged by fungus. It is now playable but full of aeration marks. The rest of the greens were in great shape and fast compared to several other St. Louis courses I have played.
The staff is exceptional.
The course is a little out of the way for me at a 40 to 50 min. drive but worth the drive.
I highly recommend it, especially during the week when it is not as busy.

I love Spencer T Olin, but this was the slowest I've ever seen it play. I teed off at around 2:00 on a Friday afternoon - and even getting out at that time seemed a bit touch and go (despite having a tee time). Apparently a golf outing was still in progress and they were "working groups in" between the outing groups. Needless to say, this caused extraordinarily slow play and was a complete mistake on the course's part. What should have been a quick 3 hour Friday afternoon round turned into nearly a 5 hour ordeal. At one point an 8-some had to be broken up in front of us by calling a Ranger (the 8-some got back together several holes later, by the way). Again, STO is one of my favorite courses, but this was probably my least enjoyable experience there.
