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.

Great place
Far Oaks was awesome as always one of our favorites. Early t time absolutely beautiful morning.
Great layout and always fun round of golf
Playing Goalby's best design is always a treat, and it's a great alternative to Stonewolf down the road. Only critiques for 2021 would be some of the teeboxes and sand bunkers need to be fixed. But the fairways and greens are playing nicely. Will definitely be back to play more.
Great Course
Definitely a top course to play in the STL Metro area. If you can get on for $30-40 you're getting a pretty good value. Course was in great shape other than a few greens that have an incredible number of un-repaired or poorly repaired divot marks. If you’re playing a course this nice please have the common sense and courtesy of not allowing this happen. Otherwise this is an awesome course and offers a real challenge from the back tees. Highly recommended!
Great course great scenery
At the course the facilities were super nice and the field of play as well. We were rushed to the tee box when our tree time was not for another 10 min. At the tee box the starter was really rude and was commented by others waiting to let the boys play and shut up. He was very aggressive and smoked a large cigar blowing it towards our cart as we drove by. At the end of the best round the same man told us to speed it up when we were behind a senior group that took almost 20-30 min a hole. He was yet again aggressive and very rude to me and the group we were with. At the need of the round he apologized for his behavior but by this point was a little dissatisfied with customer service. I would Recommend the course for play but be warned of some staff at the course.
Nice course
In town for the weekend and selected Far Oaks based on reviews/proximity. Nice little course with really nice bunkers/greens. Some of the tee boxes were pretty chewed up but the course itself was in nice shape. I moved up to men’s forward/whites to play with the guys they paired me with and found the course very easy to navigate. Lots of 4 irons from the tee and honestly, you don’t really need to hit driver on any hole. Very enjoyable round.
Far Oaks was amazing.
The course is in excellent condition. The greens roll
fast and true. Looking forward to playing it again.
Far Oaks as enjoyable and reliable as they come
Far Oaks has always been 1 of the best in greater St. Louis, and certainly worth the trip to the iL side. 2021 is no exception, tee to green Far Oaks is in excellent condition. Greens roll true and fast, only critique would be the bunkers that need some work. When you think about the best on the IL side- Annbriar, Gateway, Spencer T Olin, Lockhaven, Belk Park, Stonewolf.... Far Oaks is right there among all of them. Fantastic clubhouse and Bar/Grill. Definitely will be back a bunch this year.
Absolutely loved the design by Goalby. Each hole had its own character. Pace of play slowed down after first nine but overall I think it’s right up there with Annbriar and is now one of my favorite course I’ve played.
The greens have a lot of undulations which I like and were rolling true.
Sand traps were good except for a couple.
Good value for the money!
Staff was great! Course was in great shape!
You can see a number of improvements being made on the property and the course.
Disappointed
I couldn’t get to my tee time due to my car not starting, so I called to see if I can change the date. The pro shop guy told me there’s nothing they can do. Ik that’s BS because I worked at a pro shop before and if you want to keep your customers happy, changing the time once a while is not a big deal at all. Just disappointed that’s I couldn’t play the course.
Great day of golf
The course is in great shape and the pace was good, all in all, just what you come to find at Far Oaks. Great course.
