Gateway National Golf Links

Was told i had to try this course and man im glad i did. Amazing conditions and the bentgrass fairways were incredible to play on. Will definitely be back!

Loved it

Overall, the conditions of the course were good. They aerated the greens back in August (most courses do this in September/October) and the greens were really fast. Some putts felt like you were putting on a tabletop. Lot of ball mark smudges on the greens though.

The only issues I saw were to the right of the 9th green, the hillside was dirt. The 17th tee was in rough shape.

Our senior weekday rate was $59. I will only play this course during the week because it can get pricey on the weekends. Over $100.

The course did NOT have a course ranger which ruined the day for us. There were 2 groups in front of us playing a scramble. We waited 5 minutes on every shot. On the par 3, 7th hole, one group was on the green, two groups on the tee box. On the 18th green, all 8 players were on the green. There was a celebration on the green and the green was all scuffed up from their golf cleats.

Until Gateway National gets a course ranger to address the slow play, I will not recommend this course. The greens fee of over $100 on the weekend is not worth it. You can play the best public course in the area (Annbriar) for $77 on the weekend.

Tee boxes, fairways and greens always in good shape. The staff, particularly the beverage cart girls always friendly as is the girls at the turn. A little slow due to a foursome in front of us. Always a good day at Gateway National.

Course was in very good condition. Tough was high and thick. Need a first cut if the rough is going to be that high. Lost some balls that were not far off of the fairway

I was let down on condition of course for the price point, but I am glad I played here. It is a nice layout, and the Arch in the background is cool. However, I am use to courses that amount to be impeccable especially around the greens.

Course was a little wet from rain that the morning.

It was still very playable. Greens had lots of unprepared ball marks. Cart girl was around several times.

The course pushed our start time back, but only by about 10 minutes. They did this to pair up my friend and I with another two-some, but that two-some never showed.

Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Some of the blue tee boxes, especially on the par 3s, were almost more sand than grass. Carts were nice, equipped with a GPS system showing your yardage and hole layout.

We waited a couple minutes on just about every hole, but that’s to be expected when the course is almost fully booked, and you’re playing as a two-some.

I got hot deal price, plus a 20% of discount, which made the course very reasonable. Not sure I’d ever pay their full weekend price, but definitely worth a visit at a nice discount.

I have played here a few times. This was my second time this year and both rounds have been the slowest rounds I’ve played this year. Today it was just myself and a friend we didn’t get paired up with another duo. There was two foursomes in front of us that never let us play through and long story short the round took us between 5.5-6 hours. The conditions of the course are the best in the area but the limited driving range space/lack of balls and slow rounds don’t justify the cost. I will unlikely be returning here.

Course was great other than the greens are in rough shape as ball marks are not being repaired and it affected the puts. On a corse like this you would expect players to repair their ball marks?

The course was in phenomenal shape. Even

With a lot of rain of late the course drained really well and 90% cart rule. It’s pricey but that’s golf these days and a holiday weekend. Best condition of the public courses in the St. Louis area.

Beautiful course, very fun to play. Greens are nice but peppered with unfixed ball marks. Course also pushes for fast pace of play, ironically, I got stuck behind an incredibly slow group.

You won't find better conditions on a public golf course in the St. Louis metro area this year. My son was in town this week and loves playing Gateway because of the bent grass fairways. He even commented Gateway is really in good shape.

On the weekend, the price is $100. They may have outpriced themselves because we were able to tee off 40 minutes early because of the empty tee times.

I think it is worth this because of the excellent conditions. Also, because other upscale courses like Annbriar & Far Oaks are running near $80 on the weekend. You won't find these 2 courses in the shape of Gateway. However, if you can play during the week in the $50-60 range - what a bargain this course is.

Get out and play Gateway this year!
