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.

Overall great course. Little slow today but beautiful morning so can’t complain.
Great value
Fairways and greens were great ! Rough pretty think which was fun presents a challenge . But overall I’d say the course was great ! Wish they were a better about offering deals . When we finished our round we asked what the price to play 9 more was bc we were very pleased and they gave us the price of 24.99 and we said well how much is it for 18 bc that was close to the price we paid for the original round and they said $25 . So maybe offering a discount for an additional 9 when the course was wide open woulda been awesome . But it is what it is . Will definitely go back
Confidence
With two par 5’s under 500 Yds, this is a course to get your confidence back, or get into a good rhythm with. Definitely a course you could score on even from the tips.
its the beginning of spring what can you expect, overall
a pretty good value, if you get a hot dal
Greens unputtable
I’ve played here several times this year and the greens were in bad condition each time and is not worth what is being charged...
So disappointed
Golf Now shows course wide open. Arrive to find 6 carts at first t-box. A couple of singles, a foursome and 2 twosomes...all going off separately. No starter, no ranger, but a lot of frustrated golfers. 1 pm tee time, hit my first shot at 1:25. Shouldn’t be surprised, happens here all the time.
Fall golf
Brown fairways, greens were pretty rough (maybe a bitter rougher than expected for this time of year), lots of dead patches. Course work is being done next to the green on #1. Nice layout, will definitely be back here in the spring to (hopefully) greener conditions.
Nice Tuesday round, greens are slowly improving. The STL bumpkin still hasn’t learned how to use a divot tool, but that is typical of EVERY course in the Metro Least!
