Far Oaks Golf Club

Fun course, but the greens are in atrocious condition. Fairways were in good shape, and the layout makes for a fun round. Another problem was that there was an outing that started 30 minutes before we teed off, made for a longggg round. Shouldn’t have available tee times until the outing was over. Definitely not worth the price of admission. This is a $30 course at best.

We played yesterday (7/22/2018) at Far Oaks. My friends and I were on a weekend golf trip to the St. Louis area. I recommended Far Oaks over some other courses because I had played there 15 years ago or so. I was embarrassed about how much I had bragged on the course. The greens were in very bad shape lots of crab grass. The Tee boxes were not much better. The tee box on the second hole was the worst I've seen this year. Lastly, we played on a Sunday morning and the starter seemed rushed to get us onto the tee box early. Subsequently, after our foursome they sent out a 3-some and the then 3 consecutive 2-somes. Why not pair up the 2-somes? Its a weekend why are they pushing out 2-somes during prime playing hours. We ended up having to let 2 groups play through. We most likely wont be back to Far Oaks

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.

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.

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*.

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!

Great course nice people/staff looking forward to going back

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.

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.

My favorite course not a bad hole great greens beautiful farways

Course is in excellent condition right now and I got a great deal on Golf Now which made for a perfect midweek outing

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.

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.

Challenging but fair-sand traps and bunkers not ready yet

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.

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.

Excellent course in great condition. Greens rolled well for this time of year.
