Gateway National Golf Links

One of the best golf values I’ve ever gotten. Staff is super friendly and awesome views of downtown St. Louis and the arch. Highly recommend checking this course out!

Great course with an exceptional value. Awesome views of downtown St. Louis from several holes. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The course was in excellent condition. They aerated the greens on March 23-24 but they putted fairly well just 10 days later.

Gateway National just aerated their greens on March 23-24. They use the smaller holes and use enough sand to fill in all the holes. I thought they putted much better than I anticipated. They do a good job of communicating with groups that have tee times right after the aeration. They inform you if you want to cancel, that is fine, If you want to play, you get 30% of your green fees.

They always do a good job of having staff for the beverage cart on the course, the 10th tee snack shop and the restaurant.

The pace of play was a bit slow. We had to play the par 5, 3rd hole as a par 3 because of maintenance in the fairway. The pin location was unfair on that hole, with it placed right at the top of a tier on the green.

In town for work from Atlanta. The Quality of course for the price was great especially compared to Atlanta courses. I would definitely play this course again.

When I arrived at Gateway National, I saw they were rolling the greens. You don't see too many public golf courses ever rolling thier greens - and not in February.

Gateway National takes great pride in their golf course. The course was in exceptional shape for February. The greens were smooth and on the fast side.

They are working on improving the grass and/or adding more tees boxes on the par 3's. Holes 4 & 17 had temporary mats to hit off. Looked like they just completed their control burn of the grasses between the holes.

The senior weekday rate of $47 is terrific for this upscale course. They even had a beverage cart out on a Wednesday in February.

I've played this course twice now. Once today, once last fall. In the fall, not exaggerating, there wasn't a single leaf on the fairway. Today, in the cold, the staff was super friendly and the course was still healthy. Im probably still below the skill level needed for some of the holes, however it is still a pleasure to play and I cant wait to come back again and again as I improve. Best course I've played within driving distance of St. Louis.

The course is in good shape. The greens have no issues and were quick. The weekday senior rate of $57 is excellent to this upscale golf course.

The course had excessive rain about a month ago, and you will see spots where the grass is brown from the flooding (#3 fairway comes to mind). Some tees do need attention (yellow tees on 2, 4 & 17). Some small trees are popping up in front of the 13th tee, obstructing the view of the fairway.

Get out and play Gateway.

The back roads are completely closed off and gps will send you spiraling. Worst experience ever and it was a shame bc I never even got to play the course.

Played early morning at a very fast pace. Course was in good condition and the greens were well maintained.

First time playing this course and was blown away. Tough, challenging but also fun and pristine conditions: from the tee boxes, fairways, greens. Fairways were the best I’ve ever played on, it was like walking and hitting off a giant bed of moss. Just an incredible place with amazing views of the Arch and downtown. Place is special, a real treat for any local golfer!

Gateway National experienced excessive amounts of rain on Tuesday, August 12. Over 5 inches of rain. The course was closed on Wednesday, August 13. The course sent an email out to let everyone know the course was open on Thursday, August 14 but it would be cart path only.

When we arrived on Thursday, August 14, the course was already getting the course playable. Pumping water out of lakes that were overspilling, using air blowers to dry up wet spots on the fairways. To our surprise, the fairways had no casual water. They made hole 3 a par 3 because there was some standing water in that fairway. The only holes where you could see some overflow of water was on holes 7 & 17. Other than that, the course was very playable. A tremendous job done by the Gateway National staff. The staff did say the large cottonwood tree by the tee on hole 2 was hit by lightning and you can see this when you play.

Gateway National is by far the best conditioned upscale course in the St. Louis metro. Is everything perfect – no. However, it is difficult to tell if the few bad sections of the course was caused by the flooding. The only issues I saw were the 15 & 17 tees and the 18th fairway. Back on July 11, I noticed some sections of the fairways turning brown but I did not see any of this now.

They did have an unfair pin placement on hole 11. Hole cut right on a ledge. I’ve never understood why a course does this.

The greens are outstanding. The weekday senior rate of $58 is attractive for such a fine course. Get out and play Gateway National – you will not be disappointed.

Got a very good Hot Deal, which is the only time I play this course. For $30, a fantastic deal. If I was paying full price, I would have been a little disappointed by a couple of the tee boxes, which were in pretty rough shape. The fairways and greens were pristine, as usual.
