Lockhaven Golf Course

a very enjoyable golfing experience. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. Greens were all very large and putted very well. They were very receptive to iron approaches.
The majority of holes were very challenging with lots of doglegs in both directions which required good t shot planning. Their were a large number of elevated t shots that made for a very pleasing view from the t boxes. The course has a lot of mature trees that can give you trouble if you stray from the fairways.

This course has really bounced back since some spring flooding. The staff is very friendly too. I can't find a single thing to complain about.

I've never played this course and was pleasantly surprised. Not a long course but a good test for different levels. Lots of doglegs and trees. Hitting fairways and hitting straight are important. The course is in good shape considering the high temps lately. (Looks like it probably was pristine a few weeks ago.) Staff is very friendly. Followed a slow twosome the last several holes and still finished in a little over 4 hours on a Sunday. Will definitely play here again.

From a condition standpoint, this converted country club is one of the best of the mid-range priced courses in the StL area; perhaps because its tucked away up the Illinois side of the Great River Road and sees less traffic. The tee boxes (in particular), fairways and greens are in fabulous condition. There isn't really a throwaway hole in the track. Elevation changes and some huge bunkers make things interesting. Even though the course is surrounded by forest, the trees on the course were thinned sufficiently that a ball off the fairway isn't lost and remains in play. For men, even if you would normally hit from the white or senior tees, do yourself a favor and back up a bit to the blue tees. The tees for lower handicaps are often elevated further, and some of the views really improve. Its worth the extra few yards. For a real show, come out the last two weeks of September into the first two weeks in October when the leaves change up here. Because of some of the great rates they offer to golfers on their email list, I am bumping my review to 5 stars for the great value.

I arrived and was checked in immediately with no problem. Played with a group who know the course which was a plus since it was my first time playing the course. Challenging layout and well maintained with enough length and hills to navigate and make it interesting.

Very nice course, first time playing it. Plenty of challenges for a high handicapper, better golfers can score well however.
Most greens and tee boxes in excellent shape, but a few needed attention. (This due to early season flooding I am told) Fairways nice throughout.

I look forward to playing Lockhaven because it has lots of sand bunkers and I'm like a kid --- always finding the sand. It is a mature course with lakes and beautiful oak trees. The greens are in great shape!

Very good golf course. A lot of elevation changes to challenge the low handicapper but fair enough not to scare off the higher handicap golfer. Staff was friendly and accommodating. A little hard to find but well worth the effort.

This was our first time playing this course, and we very much enjoyed it. Other than the first 2 holes which were under repair, it was in fine shape. The doglegs provided some interest in club selection, and the greens were in excellent condition. We had a great time. In fact, I am going to play it again today.

Nothin special but a well maintained course. Pace of play was awesome. Finished in 3 hrs.

Great course, lots of great people, and great pricing. Really appreciate the addition of yardage markers.

The staff were EXCELLENT. Very friendly & helpful on arrival. The starter worked hard to keep everyone happy & moving on such a beautiful & busy day

Staff was friendly. Price was good. The greens were a little slow. They were running short of golf carts but mentioned 12 new carts were suposed to be delivered last week. Overall a nice day of golf.

Friendly staff. It is great layout for beginners and advance players. The price was great. Played 18 holes in just under 4 hours. Greens were nice and fast. I will play it again!!!

Great course. Staff couldn't be more accomodating. But, there were not enough golf carts to handle the golfers. We waited at least 45 minutes for carts from golfers who were finishing their rounds. Our tee time was 11:10 on a Thursday.

The fairways were in really good shape and the greens were in great shape also and holes one and two are slightly under repair but should be fine soon.

!st time playing this course open fairways loved the par 3 s very quite and will surely be going back a lot.

Lockhave is a beautifui course. The rates are a great value and they have a wonderfully friendly staff.

PLAYED SATURDAY JULY 20TH AROUND 11:00am. THE NUMBER ONE GREEN IS SHOWING THE DAMAGE FROM THE FLOODING EARLIER THIS YEAR OTHER THAN #1 GREEN,THE REST WERE IN GREAT SHAPE. THEY WERE A BIT SLOW,HOWEVER THE WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE FAST ENOUGH. NEVER ONCE DID WE WAIT TO HIT A SHOT. GREAT SCENERY AND THE COURSE PROVIDES PLENTY OF CHALLENGES AND YOU WILL FIND IT HARD TO MISS A GREEN ON AN APPROACH BECAUSE THEY ARE ENORMOUS. NOT MUCH WATER TO DEAL WITH, BUT PLENTY OF TREE'S. THEY ARE RUNNING SOME GREAT PROMO'S AND ITS HARD TO BEAT FOR THE MONEY. fAIRWAYS WERE FANTASTIC.

Great course for the price. Only complaint is the pace of play needs to be monitored better.
