About
Far Oaks Golf Club in Caseyville has a unique layout with a front nine that is designed in a Scottish-links style and a back nine that plays through rolling woodlands. The links holes are framed with native prairie grasses and wildflowers while mature oak trees line the fairways on the back nine. There are plenty of elevation changes throughout the golf course, making it hard to find a flat lie. Mounding and strategically placed bunkers lurk treacherously along the greensides and there are also several holes with water. Far Oaks Golf Club is a challenging course that demands accuracy, which is most apparent on the 10th hole. Although it's not the longest par 4 on the course, it is still challenging thanks to a slew of bunkers that border both sides of the green.

Definitely worth the money and easily top 10 course I’ve played. And it’s January. Can’t wait until summer time to see this track really flourishing. Amazing staff, amazing track, and the locals have golf etiquette!
Great day of winter golf
We had a great day of winter golf. Course was great seeing through all the trees without the leaves. Far Oaks is awesome year round.

Great day of winter golf
We played yesterday and it was awesome. 42 degrees not much wind. It was great winter gold seeing everything through the trees without their leaves. Far Oaks is a great place.

Nice course
2nd time playing. Wished my game was up to the challenge. Course was in great shape. My only complaint was the practice green seemed to be cut much closer than the actual greens, so practice was faster than play. But a minor nit. love the course and layout,.
Very well maintained
Great and challenging layout. Probably the best maintained course I’ve played all year. I can’t wait to play it in the spring.
Excellent course
This was my first time playing here and I was very impressed. Although the fairways were dormant, they were in great shape and free of leaves. The greens were fast and true. Everything was well kept up. It was remarkably idle when I was there, so buzzed through in 3 hrs. I would definitely return.
What I originally booked was a Hot Deal of $28. My cost for the round was $0, as I had Golfpass credit to apply. Not sure what the normal fees are.
Great course and beautiful views
Autumn trees really added to the ambiance of this course. Was told 3 seasons are great views as well. Greens were in good shape but fast! Tee boxes were good as well. Fairways were yellow because of the grass they use but trimmed nicely and easy to hit from. Very pleasantly surprised and will definitely go back!
For A $75 Greens Fee, I Expect More
Far Oaks is one of my favorite golf coursea. But with a steep $75 grrens fee, I expect a lot from a golf course. However, Far Oaks fails to do this.
Overall, the fairways, tees and greens are fine. The greens were super fast. However, this is where Far Oaks falls short when charging a $75 greens fee,
The bunkers are awful. They need to be raked daily. The fairway bunkers on hole 12 were a disgrace. They didn't even have a rake. Crabgrass on numerous fringes. Hole 3 fairway bunker is dirt and weeds. All the yardage poles are gone. No yardage markers on the par 3, hole 6,
Far Oaks is a great course and I would recommend it, howver, not at a $75 price tag.
