Great value

This course isn't especially aesthetically pleasing but its one of my favorite places to play in the area. It has a great design that has a fun blend of both hard and gettable holes. The greens have improved a lot in recent years and could be quite nice eventually. They have a small grounds crew but they do good work. I'd say 18 holes are appropriately priced at $32 as of this review. My one complaint is their price for 9 holes was high. $25 the last time I was there. All in all I'd recommend. Just not too loudly because I like that its a bit of a hidden gem.

Great muni

The course is in pretty good shape. Very playable. Some of the tee boxes are a little scruffy. Most of the fairways and greens are in good condition. The price is very good and the employees are super nice and helpful. Fairly easy course. Worth the drive.

Decent

You get what you pay for. Lots of leaves on greens and fairways. But you can’t beat $38 for 18.

Great price - get what you pay for

The course setup is really pretty good and there are a lot of different challenges. The course conditions start to suffer once the summer heat hits, but it’s fun to play and there wasn’t anyone in front of us so it was a quick round.

Course conditions

Lots of standing water; fill in the holes! Greens on some holes were pretty ate up. Lots of weeds and rough grass. Maybe try once more this year in the fall.

Huge Bang for the Buck

This has become one of my favorite courses in St. Louis. Incredibly affordable to play, tucked away in the back corner of a park in Cahokia in a place you wouldn't expect a nice course to live. Great drink specials and good food options for the turn, nice carts, course is always in good shape, and rarely ever have to wait on a group in front of you. Highly recommend, except please don't go because I like that it's never overwhelmingly busy. ;)
