Gateway National Golf Links

Come to gateway for a challenge of all skill levels

The course was aerated yesterday and today so the greens were not their usual top notch but you can see all of the work the grounds crew is doing and in 2 weeks the course will be in spectacular shape. I still love their bent grass fairways and they are the only course that's green this early in the year.

Used to LOVE Gateway. I understand it’s March....but REALLY bumpy greens, hard to find grass to play off of anywhere except the fairways and greens (I’m sure there’s a good joke there) and the person in charge of the pro shop was not friendly and very unfriendly. Hopefully they get the place back to top shape as it was a short couple years ago.

In a sentence… 16 golf carts on number 10 at noon time standing there watching each other T off. Frost delay? It was frozen the whole time. No matter what tee? 1 or 10? It’s December in St Louis. I’ve been to others Walters management courses .... and they said the same exact thing. I also have played everywhere else! That cannot be real and never happens anywhere else. NEVER. it’s a mathematical loop and cannot be substantiated. Gathered the money, back the groups up, and half the groups never finished leaving disgusted as you see the other nine empty next to you during the warm of the afternoon? Zero common sense. No carts in the parking lot to pick up your clubs? Let the people golf?

Quite frankly I don't play Gateway more often b/c the prices can be pretty steep and most of my buddies aren't interested in paying $70+ to play a round. I've only played the course twice and loved it both times. The greens were in incredible shape. The fairways looked good, a lot of people don't know that you need to fill the bent grass divots with sand but conditions were amazing for December. Certainly a bit of the links feel, I love the native grasses and marshes throughout. If you're driving the ball well you can score pretty well on the course. Reminded me a bit of some courses in Carolina with some marshes and some controlled landing zones. The par 3's, I personally felt played tough, there is from my understanding always wind at Gateway and the angles of the par 3's made it a bit tricky but that's fun. As far as public courses in the metro this is in my top 4.

Great course, Probably one of the best in this area of St. Louis. Unfortunately, It happens to be located in Madison Illinois which has absolutely no off course amenities worth stopping for. Nonetheless play in this course was a joy totally well Greens were absolutely true and very challenging over all. Not too difficult to enjoy however I will definitely play each chance I get.

It was really cold today which kept most people off the course. The course was in really nice condition for this time of the year. Fairways were excellent, greens were different paces but well maintained overall, and tee boxes were fantastic! I will definitely be back soon

I would advise not buying into the special of 8 rounds for $200. Its next to impossible to book a tee time before 1pm.They limit you to Monday thru Wednesday only and then they close those days occasionally for special events.

Combination links and marsh course, Open fairways, sand , water and marsh around greens, White tees played long. Great views of theSt. Louis arch,, downtown St . Louis and the cable tower on the.bridge. Need to be accurate around greens and with approach shots. Have fun.

By far the best course I’ve played all year! From the moment I arrived until I left the staff was eager to help me in any way possible. The course is in Beautiful shape and just keeps getting better each and every year. The ladies on the course and inside were very friendly and were always stocked with cold beer :) If I had to complain, I’d say the ball marks were a little troublesome but, that is on my fellow golfers not the course. Thank you Gateway!

I realize this was their busiest day of the year with the PGA Championship in town, but jacking the rates up and cramming more groups on the course was a little ridiculous. As a foursome we paid $100 each for a 10 AM tee time. Front 9 played in 2 hours, 40 minutes. There was then a 20 minute wait at the turn. Was told the back nine would play faster, but after 2 hours we gave up and quit after 16 holes so we could make our afternoon tee time at another course. Course was in great shape, but the pace of play made the experience very frustrating.

Nice layout, front 9 plays long. Can gain strokes on the back 9. Beautiful bent grass fairways and greens. Pace of play great and friendly staff. Driving range and putting greens available. Great value-done forget your senior discount! lol Beautiful of the Arch. Course drains well. I'd play again~hopefully when its drier! Love the yardage book.

I played Gateway on June 2. It was in outstanding shape. The best ever. Played it on July 14. Still in great shape but the bent grass fairways were stressing from the St. Louis heat. You couldn't ride your cart on the fairways. Please do yourself a favor. Play Gateway this year - they have done a great job on the conditioning of the course.

This is the first time I played this course and overall I was very pleased. It’s a bit pricey usually, so the hot deal really made this a great deal. I went at a perfect time and was paired with two additional singles. We didn’t have to wait for a single group all day. The fairways are wide and allow for some forgiveness, but it plays longer than it seems. I’m was thankful that one person in my group was a member. There are a couple confusing turns on that cart paths between holes. The course itself was in great shape. There was a crew actively working on tee boxes and greens during my round. They were aware of us coming up to a hole, stopped working, and let us play uninterrupted. The only updating desperately needing done is to the various bridges. They are old. Some are little shaky and the piece of plywood in the middle of one was concerning.

An awesome Sunday! We were able to play 18 miles in four hours on a beautiful day. Loved the pace of play! The course is very long and challenging. The staff were great as well. Highly recommend

Great condition as usual, love the fairways and greens. Layout is very good as well, a treat
