Gateway National Golf Links

Course was in great condition. It is a super challenging course with difficult hazards on a number of holes. Will definitely play again. Nice driving range.

I loved it. Got paired up with 2 percent guys. We played fast and had a great time

Gateway National is one of the top upscale courses in the St. Louis metro area. Only public course in the area with bent grass fairways & tees.

GOOD...

Fairways are always in good shape.

The sand in the bunkers was excellent.

The greens are in good shape.

A brand new snack barn at the 10th tee. Looks nice. Painted red and sponsered by Budweiser.

Had water and on the course and we saw the beverage cart numerous times during our round.

They have expanded their menu selections in the clubhouse. They have brought back the Gateway Chicken. One of my favorites.

The Friday morning senior rate was $55. Great value for the quality of course you are getting. When I got my tee time online, it said it was going to be $59.99, so a nice surprise when the final price was $55.

GENERAL COMMENTS...

When I last played here in April, the greens were spectacular. Now the greens are still very good but are a little rougher from the numerous repaired ball marks and they are slower.

The rough around the tee boxes on hole 6 were turning brown and stressed, More of a visual eye sore than anything. Around the green, some of the rough was stressing too.

Pace of play was outstanding until the 6th hole. We did see a ranger on the back nine trying to improve the situation. Good to see this because pace of play has been a problem at this course.

There has been rumors that with the course being purchased by the race track and probably NASCAR coming next year, the race track may want to expand. The individuals at the golf course my friend talked to said the course is staying. Great news!

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT...

Several of the tees need some attention. The 4th tee is mounded and in rough shape and several tees had crabgrass on them. Holes 9, 14 & 17.

Hole 13 has several small trees in front of the tee, blocking the view of the hole.

Overall, an outstanding course and a great senior rate on a Friday.

Pace of play was excellent for a public course on a Saturday. Greens a bit beat up with ball marks, but that isn’t on the course. They even had a sign in the bathroom to fix your ball marks. Unfortunately players need to own that. Otherwise great

5 stars. Awesome course in excellent condition. Pretty forgiving for those of us that spray it around off the tee a little. :)

In better condition than other Walters-managed courses. Greens were true, bunkers pretty well maintained, fairways all excellent, just a couple is spotty tee boxes.

A very fair and playable course providing you play from appropriate tees.

Only complaint is that regular rates are higher than most competitors’. They claim to use dynamic pricing, but at midday the course is often mostly empty - perhaps because people are choosing less expensive options.

Clubhouse was locked so really we could have just showed up and played for free and the bunkers were atrocious. You want to charge premium rates you really need to have premium grounds.

If you get a chance go take this one on. Tough but fair from the blues. Leave the driver in the bag and stay safe off the tee. Great conditions.

Course is in great condition. Fairways are like carpet, tee box’s are chewed up but playable, and the greens are awesome. Pretty fun and you always have a ton of different shot options as long as you can stay in play. This course is great but I’ve seen the rate up around $80, $90, and even over $100. I would never even consider paying more than $40 to play here. Even at $40 the value can be easily beat at numerous courses within an hour of here. If you’re all about amenities and views of the arch have at it but if you’re concerned with playing good golf on a nice course save your money and play pretty much anywhere else. Acorns, Annbriar, Spencer T, Far Oaks, Stonewolf, and Belk just to name a few are equally as nice (possibly even nicer) and MUCH cheaper.

Course is in great shape, as always. My game, however… oof.

Great staff! A little slow but they tell you 41/2 when you start. Course is nice layou but you need to hit it straight or get penalized by heavy rough. Greens are very nice.

Felt like it played long. Needed to use most every club in the bag. Really enjoyed the challenge and the slick greens. Bent Grass Fairways were awesome..
