Gateway National Golf Links

Great value, would play again and tell everyone to go there. Friendly staff. Very nice clubhouse. Condition of course great. Bent grass fairways and greens were excellent. Greens putted true and fast. They were consi stang on all 18 holes

Based upon the reviews of the course, I choose to play here while passing thru the area. A very well conceived design where each hole feels separated from the others, even though the course is nearly treeless. More wetlands than your classic links style layout. Plenty of sand and very undulated greens that offer opportunities for multiple pin locations. Condition were excellent. Views of the Gateway Arch and downtown St Louis were neat.

This is a great upscale course in the the St. Louis area. The course layout and choice of tee boxes allows for golfers of all abilities to have a challenging yet enjoyable round. I am surprised that their are not more amenities for a course of this caliber and price range. Their was no bag service when dropping bags off and no one their when we finished our round to unload the cart and wipe clubs down. The lounge gives you a clear plastic bag for your purchased beverages and does not offer any type of cooler for your purchased drinks. I would like to see more off course amenities for the price range of play.

Got a golf now time for $15 and it couldn't have been anymore of a steal. One of the nicest courses I have ever played, plays long but fair. If you stay in play and lag putt on the large greens you can definitely score here. One thing, at the turn you do not go back to the clubhouse, I think this is traditional for links style but be aware if it's your first time here. Beautiful course, would definitely play here again, although the $73 normal green fee is a bit steep.

Didn't know of many courses in St Louis area so we took a shot in the dark. We were staying in a hotel 5 miles from Gateway and they had a 10 am tee time open. Courted exceeded all expectations. We will definitely be back again.

Its hard to have a golf course and make the patrons think as though they are the only ones on the course. This course does just that with the way they use the mounds and the tall grass. The greens were perfect, quick but receptive. The fairways were great, but please fix your divots. Some of the landing area had taken a lot of abuse and the staff does all they can but its on the players to help some too. I showed up as a single, and was paired with 2 gentlemen. One was a member that gave me the run down of the course, where to be and where not to be. The other guy was super nice. We had an absolute blast! I will certainly be back.

I gave this 4 stars because 4.5 isn't an option. What knocks it down to me is that the course appears to get a ton of play, and the fairways are landmines of divots, mostly not replaced or filled with sand. So you can hit perfect drives and not be rewarded very easily. The greens are also a bit pock-marked with unfixed divots.

Other than that, the layout is great, as are the views of St. Louis. Only 10 minutes (no traffic) from the Arch. The fairways are wide and forgiving (other than what I said above). If you spray, there is a lot of tall native grass waiting to swallow the ball. Greens had good speed and rolled true (again, aside from what I said above). Pace of play isn't too bad despite the high play count. Seems to host a lot of tournaments, so be aware when looking for tee times. Discounts can be found on their web page. If you're around, or just traveling through like I was, it's well worth a stop!

Challenging course. Strong need to stay in the fairway. Only weak spot is many players do not fill their divots. Friendly staff

I booked a late tee time (4pm) hoping to miss most of the crowd, but there were several groups ahead of us that were playing a bit slower than pace of play. My son and I play this course a few times a year and always enjoy it. We called it quits after 12 holes (roughly 7pm) as we were waiting too long to tee off. Average of 25 min per hole is unacceptable for me. Pace of play was right at 5 plus hrs for 18 holes. We would have never made all 18 if we continued until dark. A bit disappointed in this, but we really enjoy the course so we will definitely be back. Great course to play and would recommend it to others. My advice would be to play it during the week during business hours.

Even with the heavy flooding, course was in really good condition. Greens putted true and fairways were perfect. Sand traps took the beating for this low laying course and were weak at best.

Course rates on the course website can be cheaper so check before you book

This golf course is private club caliber from the staff to the challenging golf course. Too many people do not fill in their divots in the bent grass fairways, so they take a beating. But the maintenance crew does an outstanding job, especially considering the number of rounds played annually. The par 3s lack variety, but that would be my only minor complaint about Gateway National. One of the top 3 public courses in the metro STL area!

Course was in wonderful shape. Staff was nice but need to do a better job managing the pace of play. No round should take 6 hours.

I love the course, and really can't wait to play it again when the greens fill in and smooth out a bit more. Layout is great and the grass in the fairways is fun to play from. That said, there's some lazy people out there, that from the looks of the divots are good players, that are damaging the course by not fixing this divots. I replaced dozens of perfectly replaceable pieces of fairway that were left to die by either people who don't know better (doubt it) or guys that don't care.

GREAT COURSE LETS KEEPMIT THAT WAY.

Gateway is hard but fair. The fairways are always in good shape. The greens were just aerated, but should be ready to roll at a 12-13 in no time.

This is a really nice course with great backdrops on some of the holes.

I played alone and was the first one out, so I can't really speak about pace of play.

There are a decent amount of challenges on the course, but the fairways are very wide and forgiving. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape.

My only issue here was that the areas that typically have high grass along the fairways (now were cleared, presumably to start the season with new grass there) were loaded with literally thousands of old golf balls. So if your ball went off the fairway a little, it was impossible to find your ball mixed in with all the old ones. They need to get rid of all those balls.

I will definitely play here again.

Great course as always in good shape... it was good to have course management keep the pace moving ..usually that has not been done.. pace of play should be first and foremost to management on this wonderful tract..

Rates are very competitive to area courses with specials very appealing....

Enjoy the round even though pace of play was a little slow, as it is early in the season the greens were rolling pretty good and with good speed. Need to clean up all the burnt brush area and remove all the burnt balls . I am sure this will be done as the weeks progress. All in all it's a good course to play at.
