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.

Disappointing
Normally, Far Oaks is pristine. Today, not so much. Greens were poor, tee boxes a mess, fairways were ok. For the money spent today, kinda disappointed.
Marshall
Took my group 4:27 and we were told to hurry up. Says it should take 4:30. Tee’d off relatively early and behind a twosome, but if the Marshall doesn’t understand that then I’m not sure he knows what his job is.
Always in the Top 3 in the area to play
Overall it's the course to play when you want a good outing. Rarely is this course is bad condition, if it is other are much worse.
Haven't played in a few years, they removed the GPS from the charts.Not a show stopper by any means.
If you are a weekly golfer, I suggest playing the BLUEs, the WHITE tees are very short. They are listed at 5600ish but they seem to play closer to around 5400.
I used 4, 5 and 6 iron off the WHITE tees 80%. My second shot after that were only 150-170 out after starting with irons. *why i said seems shorter*
Great course to learn how to play smart, if you pull a driver or wood out each tee box you can get into trouble quickly make this a *challenging course*
If you play smart golf it's a *moderate course*.
Great Course
Beautiful course in great condition. Some greens were a little rough due to unrepaired divots, but that isn’t the courses fault. Great course, will definitely be back!
Very Pleased
Great course nice people/staff looking forward to going back
Always in top shape
I love golfing Far Oaks. It is always well manicured and the layout provides enough tricks for experts but is not impossible for new golfers. The rough is rough, but you get true lies on the fairways and true rolls on the greens.
I like this course.
Fast greens but very consistent . Fairways are getting better. Two singles jumped in behind and in front of us on 10 tee, not a good plan.
Great course
My favorite course not a bad hole great greens beautiful farways
Far Oaks
Course is in excellent condition right now and I got a great deal on Golf Now which made for a perfect midweek outing
Would never pay full price
Greens were patchy. Bare spots around the greens. Great layout. Need course Marshalls enforcing pace of play. Bunkers were mud, truly disappointimg. Would never pay full price to play this course $60+on a weekend. Paid $30, about what it's worth.
Far Oaks
I always enjoy playing Far Oaks. Couple holes are a bit odd but fun to play. Was just surprised the course wasn’t in better shape.
Fun Course but not the pace
This was my first time playing Far Oaks. Overall, I enjoyed the course. There was a great variety of holes requiring some skilled shots, but still with areas of forgiveness. The course condition was ok, but the weather prior to my visit has likely contributed to it. I suspect in the next couple weeks it will be amazing. The staff in the clubhouse left a lot to be desired. The older gentleman at the desk was not friendly and didn’t provide any guidance to cart location or if we had to wait for a starter. The pace of play was slower but tolerable on the front nine. The back was a disaster. A foursome should not have had to wait on the group of two ahead of us like we did. Some monitoring to keep the pace was necessary. I plan to play at this course again.
Cold Day, great experience
I was one of 3 golfers on the course. It was pretty cold and fairly windy. I bundle up and it doesn't bother me nearly as much as slow pace of play on a warm day. This is a solid track, with a variety of challenges throughout. I didn't think the greens were in great shape. They had some crabgrass and I didn't think the ball was rolling very consistently but we've had horrendous weather so that's a factor. It's an easy drive from STL and is absolutely a course I would visit again. The prices are typically pretty high, I caught an amazing hot deal so we'll wait for that to come back.
Far Oaks March 2018
Excellent course in great condition. Greens rolled well for this time of year.
Played it many times. Have always loved playing here.
Far Oaks in February
For the end of February the course was in great shape! It had rained heavily for 3 days before I played and the course and greens drained really well. I play all over the area and Far Oaks is always on my list of favorites. Shot makers course but very fair and you can score well there.
