Gateway National Golf Links

This course has a great layout. It is fun to play with an assortment of tees to choose from. The staff are very friendly and not too overbearing if you want to be left alone. I played on a Thursday afternoon and was surprised of the number of patrons who were there. A Marshall was not present so there were a lot of groups of 5 and even a 6. There were a couple of times were I counted 4 groups on one hole. Aside from the long wait times you can't beat the scenery. I would have been a great deal more irritated if I would have payed full price. Thanks GolfNow.

Played here on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with my wife on a quick weekend away vacation. Course had a pretty cool layout, but with no hole map either on the scorecard or on the course, it made a number of holes difficult having never played it before. Overall tees/fairways in OK shape. Lots of weeds and crabgrass off the fairways. Greens were in excellent shape and the highlight of the course. Pace of play was slow, but tolerable until the turn. Waited behind 3 groups at 14 tee for 15 mins before deciding to call it quits. I rarely do this, but it was getting late and we had dinner plans. Had we finished, it would have easily been over a 5 1/2 hour round, which is just stupid. No rangers to be seen anywhere. People playing from the wrong tees who think their Tiger Woods. Other than the pace of play, I would come play again. I would never pay advertised full price for this course, which is north of $70/round unless the overall maintenance was improved.

Gateway is one of the challenging premier course in the eastern St. Louis area. On a windy day (15-25) it can be a monster. Not getting to greens in regulation or hitting low hybrids on 150 yd. par 3's can be expected. The course, as usual, is in great shape. The bent grass fairways and greens are in very good shape now and will only get better. The greens run fairly fast and take care to read them for subtle breaks that cause birdies to be bogeys quickly. A great course and friendly staff. If you get a Hot Deal on Golfnow as we did..$20 jump on it.

This was my first round of the year and it couldn't have been on a better course. Pace of play was good, never had to wait and never rushed. Round was just under 4 hours. Fairways were great to hit off of when I found them and greens were running smooth. Course is in excellent condition.

Found a Hot Deal for $25. Can't complain about much at that price. Had it been more expensive, I would have been a bit put off by the rock hard bunkers that hadn't seen a rake since 2013.

I've played this course for years. Course was in great shape for early in the year. Must've aerated greens recently, but greens were in good shape. Price was very good too. I will definitely be back.

All fairways, tees and greens are in very, very good shape for this time of year. Some of greens are challenging but still within the ability of average golfer. I plan on playing this course often during the coming season AND RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.

Great course, but recommned an intermediate set of tees for better than average female golfers. 6100 yards a bit long, and 5100 to short. 5800 would be great.
Enjoyed the course. Recommend to all golfers.

Always a great course to play. Staff does a great job

The course was in great shape. I really enjoyed my time around.There's nothing to say about this course that isn't good. The location is easily accessible (it may be hard to navigate if you've never been there). The driving range lets you hit all the clubs in the bag. The club house is wonderful and has good food with a very helpful staff. The course plays beautifully and I found the bent grass fairways and greens to be a welcome departure from my usual fair. Strangely even with several groups in front pace of play seems fairly quick as my twosome waited no longer than 3 - 4 min on any tee box. The only detraction for me was not being able to get back to the clubhouse at the turn as this played to me as a traditional lynx style course with an outward and inward 9. Overall, I highly recommend this course.

You will need every club in your bag if you are a short knocker. For all the long ball guys... this course was made for you. Drive 270yds, approach with a mid or short iron and two putt, boy its great. Just like TV with no trees! You 've got to love it.

Gateway Golf links is a challenging course where the wind blows, and your game better not. No trees but plenty of trouble. I suggest the average golfer pay close attention to the handicap on the scorecard.

As my friends and I primarily live in the downtown loft area and nearby neighborhoods this course is a mainstay in our circuit.

Top tier course for the area with only a few minute drive can't be beat! Top that off with good views of the STL skyline and this course has ideal location to go with its excellent conditions and management.

One of my favorite courses in the St. Louis area. Always in very good condition.

Played on a Monday morning and staffing was minimal. No starter or marshal. Single employee in golf shop performing multiple duties.
Since course does not go past clubhouse at the turn, recommend starting players on the back nine if halfway house is not staffed. This would allow golfers to get food and beverages after 9 holes.

Course in great condition .. some Greens had been aerated! Played on a Sunday afternoon. Wasn't too busy . a lot of twosomes and threesomes .. played course in less than 4 hours! Got a hot deal thru GN so really ended up with a good deal!

best links style course in this area traps need work great value for the money

Played from the tips and it was a challenge. I'm a six handicap and felt pretty good about my 83. Greens had been drilled and top dressed but were in pretty good shape. No two holes were the same. A great lay-out.

The course was in great late season condition. The greens stilled shown signs of being irriated, but putted good. The course has kind of a flat lay out, with the course defense being well placed fairway bunkers and waist areas, ungulating greens and wind.

Challenging course, fast greens...be nice if golfers would repair ball marks

As always course was in great shape, greens are fast, rough is thick, tee boxes pristine....fairways are the highlight, as it's the only course with bent grass in the area...views of the cityscape are beautiful.....it's a very flat course with only a little water, but plays 5-10 strokes harder than most courses in the area due to the rough, length, and well thought out and subtly challenging layout....by far the best course in the area
