Lockhaven Golf Course

I absolutely love this course and everything they offer. The grass is well kept, the staff is always happy to have players, there are regular tournaments almost every month, and even in the off season they have very nice simulators to keep your swing going when the weather is cold. I just can’t say enough good things about Lockhaven and its owner.

I got recommended this course weeks back and decided to finally give it a go. The course has a unique and challenging layout with an inviting atmosphere. The course is in excellent shape with fast greens and well manicured tee boxes. Most importantly amazing beer prices. We’ll be back!

Played there for the first time in years. The course has gotten much worse and was disheartening to see it in poor condition.

The tee boxes were way overgrown and need to be mowed. The fairways were in horrible shape and the grass that was there was very patchy. Nearly every one of the greens had numerous dead patches and made some putts impossible to hit. In fact, we took “relief” a couple of times to give us a clean look that wasn’t through sand, either.

All of it is a bummer as the layout is fun and interesting. Also probably not a great sign to see the course so empty on a perfect Friday afternoon. However at least we didn’t have to wait at all and had the course virtually to ourselves. Can’t see going back any time soon.

Mixed emotions about the course. The greens were excellent and fine to putt on. However, the rest of the grass on the fairways, rough and tee boxes were in horrible shape. As it used to be a private course, was expecting better conditions, but it is a fun layout.

Some interesting holes on the course with a number of blind landing areas (which I don’t like). The par-3 fourth hole is at a challenging and tricky angle. Cool elevated tee boxes on the first and seventh holes allow for some big drives. Almost aced 13 and hit it to about two feet!

The driving range ends near the left of 17 green and on 18 fairway so practice balls were scattered everywhere. Pretty annoying and potentially a little dangerous.

Great pace of play as the course was busy but we never had to wait on any shot. The cart paths were in strange locations, too. Some just ended and restarted in random places.

This course is one of my favorites to play out in this area. If you can get on early it’s a great morning drive, staff have always been super friendly. I’ve taken a few different people here from hrs away and they all talk about coming back! Challenging course to say the least!

What an amazing course! There are still some improvements than can be made. The layout is challenging. Lots of blind tee shots. Greens are true. The day we played the greens were very slow but were in good nick.

Sucks..mean employees..no masks..carts not cleaned

Beautiful course with well maintained open fairways and greens. Pace was a little off, but also crowded on a holiday. Staff was remarkable and very reasonable on a booking issue. They even gave us some free buckets for the range. Will definitely be back again.

The best course on this side of the Mississippi! Great condition!

greens EX fringe Ex fairways really nice....pace of play EX

I’ve played Lockhaven since I was a young kid. I learned how to play golf here. They have a great driving range and putting green. This course requires strategy and skill, but is also very fun for scramblers and amateurs. We’ve had a dry summer and the course sure could use a little rain, but other than that it’s in the same shape it was 30+ years ago.

45 minutes drive for me however so glad I made the trip. Challenging course but plays very fair, greens were rolling well. Some dead spots in fairways but it’s July in St Louis so not surprising. Would definitely add to my rotation
