Gateway National Golf Links

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.

Showed up for a 4PM tee time and there were 5 groups of 4 on the tee box. 2 groups were making the turn from 18 to go play the front while others were teeing off late. No ranger/Marshall to keep pace of play or starter to figure out which of the 5 groups should have teed off first. Poorly ran. Greens were also in rough shape.

The good...bent grass fairways in good shape if you can avoid the excessive divots. Greens in very good shape, but as with most public courses, golfers don't repair their pitch marks.
The layout is interesting and picturesque as advertised.
The bad...As for the best public course in St Louis...I hope not and I doubt it. This probably was a great course at some point, but it needs serious attention. Everything from the fairways, to the empty sand bottles laying around at most par three tee boxes, to the ragged deteriorating wood bridges...apparently they just don't care.
Then, there was the knucklehead on a fairway mower on number 11, continued to mow while our group and other's try to play. Absolutely didn't care! Placed a call to the Pro shop...nothing was done. Again, its a shame because the course was interesting and fun to play. Go have a good round but don't premium price, its not worth it. Nicest person in the clubhouse...the gal with the big smile behind the bar!

Best public course around STL. Beautiful and Fair.

Very windy and the ball marks on greens and divots in fairway could have been fixed and should have been enforced by a marshall. What a shameful way to treat a good course.

Fantastic Course with exceptional views of the St. Louis skyline!

the greens are fast, and the fairways are very easy to hit out of (bent grass). I would play here more often if I lived closer.

One of the best courses in St. Louis area to play by far. Bent grass fairways are awesome!

Gateway National is a great track! Challenging and fair at the same time. Feel itis priced about $10 too high on the fees.

Probably one of my favorite courses to play. Fairways are in great shape and the greens are fast. Challenging but not crazy difficult.
