Gateway National Golf Links

Great for the price we got on golf now. Really enjoyed the layout and the great views of the arch. Will most definitely be coming back next time we are in the area

Golf now hot deals pretty much dictates where my buddies and I will be playing. This course is by far the best course in the area. The progressive tee boxes give players at every level a great challenge. I was completely surprised at how dry and maintained the course was with the amount of rainfall we have received. WILL DEFINITELY RETURN...and maybe play from the tips next time!!!

The condition of the course was superb, For this area the greens were quick and rolled true. Liked so much I came back two days later & played again.

Course was in excellent. Fairways and greens in excellent shape.

We finished in 4 hours and that was with a slow group in front of us. Greens were a little inconsistent. The players really need to work on fixing ball marks; some greens fairly beat up. Same goes for divots on the fairway. Clubhouse could use some repair: drinking fountain and one sink were not functioning.
Overall impression: decent course that is probably suffering a little bit economically due to intense competition.

Great Course with views of the Arch and downtown STL. Advertised as a links style course....but if you've ever played real links courses.....this course is really not much of a links course.....still more in the parkland style. That said, it doesn't take away from the beauty and playability of the course. We played the back tee's (over 6650yds). The course is kept heavily watered and certainly doesn't roll out like a links course....so what you carry is what you get for distance. Allot of fairway cross bunkers that force decisions if you can't carry the driver 230+. Greens were well maintatined, but par threes heavily pitted from unrepaired ball marks. A fun, challenging track that I would recommend to anyone. A "must play" for St. Louis public courses.

I tried to play here on Sunday afternoon, 8/3, but ended up leaving after 6 holes due to the miserable pace of play. I was greeted at the first tee by a line of 6 carts waiting to go off, and ended up finally teeing off around 25 minutes past my scheduled tee time. Every time I finished a hole and arrived at the next tee box, there would be at least two groups still waiting to tee off. At that pace, I got through 6 holes in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. With only 2.5 hrs. of daylight left, I decided there were better uses of my time than playing another 6 (maybe) holes of golf, and drove in.

I have no clue what caused the backup, as all of the groups within sight seemed to be playing at an ok pace once they were able to tee off. This is the third time this has happened to me when playing in the afternoon here, and it's the last time I'll waste my money at this golf course.

As far as the rest of the course goes, the facilities are well kept, and the fairways/greens are in good shape. The bunkers are in bad condition. The course seems to do a better job managing pace in the morning (when I've gone out before 11AM, typical pace is 4-4.5 hours).

It's one of the top 5 public courses in St. Louis area. Par 5 are long. Par 3 are challenging. Even from white tees some par 4 are long for a 10 handicap.

Booked a "hot deal" for $36 on a Friday afternoon around 1. For this price, it's unbeatable in the area. For $60+, I'm not so sure. Course is LONG from the championship tees and is very tough if the wind is blowing. Luckily, there is a lot of room of the tees and around the greens. The length, wind and rough are the main defenses. The fairways were in excellent condition, best I've played in the area. Tee boxes had been aerated but were fine. The greens were sub-par and I was disappointed in them. Very soft, lots of ball marks and spike marks and didn't roll very well. I know St. Louis isn't an easy place to keep greens in shape, but Normandie and Crystal Springs have greens that are in much better shape. Very quick round, just over 4 hours with a 30 min lightning delay.

Overall, loved the layout and challenge and would highly recommend if you can get on for under $50.

Was visiting St Louis on business and the course is 10 mins from downtown actually in Illinois. Nice links style track in very good shape. Walked a enjoyed seeing the Arch in the distance. Not easy and challenging front 9.

The course is worth playing it just needs some TLC. The greens, fairways, and rough need to be taken care of a little better. There were a lot of divots in the fairway, ball marks covered some greens. I have seen this course in better shape, so we were a little disappointed this round.

Sand in traps heavily contaminated - about 50% dirt, due to years of raking. Course needs fresh sand.

I played yesterday and the course was perfect. It couldn't be in better condition. Check the web for specials. Played for $29.50. 10 minutes from downtown St. Louis!

Course is in good condition. Grounds crew does a great job taking care of the layout. Fairways were spectacular. Nature areas swallow balls if you miss. My only complaint was divots and ball marks. Patrons need to do a better job of taking care of the course. Replace your ball marks and at least one more. Overall very enjoyable round.

It was overall good times :-) I Love the greens and through golf now the value was incredible!!!

If you are traveling to the St Louis area and need a place to play put this one on your list. The course is difficult, but just because of the length. The fairways are open and we'll maintained. Greens were large and rolled rather smoothly, the course must get a lot of play because the ball marks on the greens were many and some not fixed properly, but that is a player issue not the maintenance depts fault. Over all I really enjoyed my round of golf at Gateway. Jason - Cincinnati

Great experience for the money. Staff great, facilities very good and had a great time. Course in great shape could use some work on the sand traps. But don't hit in the sand right? Will be back.

Must keep balls in the fairway (or bring a bag full). As it is an open course, wind plays a big factor.

Course has a great layout and was in great shape. Love hitting out of the bentgrass fairways. Very challenging course that rewards good golf shots, and fairly punishes shots that are off target. Choose which set of tees you play wisely because the traps and hazards are strategically placed. One of the top 2 or 3 public courses in the St. Louis area.

Staff did a nice job clearing the last group of a scramble tourney. The group was holding up play. After the Marshall cleared the group the pace for the remaining 15 holes was great. Fairways in pretty good shape, but lots of players not sanding divots.
