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.

One of the best public courses in metro STL
Far Oaks goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable. The staff was friendly, the course was in great shape, and the pace of play was 4 hours. Altogether, a beautiful day on an interesting golf course.
No starter
No Marshall
3.5 hours on the back nine because of slow play by two foursomes who violated every rule and etiquette of the game
Course should not open without course management on the course
Great course
Far oaks is fantastic which is the standard for a golf round their. Only complaint is the day was well overbooked. Zero rhythm, waiting 5-10 minutes to tee off almost every hole. Per usual a fun course.
Great day on the course
Great layout, great conditions, slow play as it was a beautiful Sunday. Will play there again. Not great for walking-unfortunately.
Don't waste your time
Dirt Bunkers! This course is not cheap and they will not purchase sand for the bunkers. Dirt does not react like sand when hitting a shot.
Great course!
Well kept, has a variety of challenging holes, & has a great mix of trees, water, and elevation. It's a lot of fun to play!
Great winter golf
We had the course to ourselves which was surprising being the temp was in the 40' with very little wind and some sunshine. The staff was professional and friendly. We didn't set any course records for score, but probably came close to the fastest round record. I'm looking forward to coming back this spring and playing this great layout again.
enjoyable round
Considering the number of players, pace of play was satisfactory. For the time of year, course is in great shape. As usual, staff was great. Always enjoy playing the course
Great coutse
Great conditions for februar

Kycat
The course was in great shape a couple greens were a little spotty but overall a beautiful afternoon.I love playing this course made for a great Sunday afternoon
Awesome
Doyle and everyone was awesome thanks for a great experience.
Nice track
Think course is above average for the area and has nice layout with some elevation changes that are fun. In general forgiving for those of us who do not always hit the fairways. The greens putted true and if you read them right the ball will fall.
great course
finest public i have played in the st louis area
Review
Course was in great shape except for the few bunkers that were hard as concrete. Over the last few years this course has had trouble with bunkers whether I'm in them or not. Overall the course is always in fantastic shape. Love this course. The people who work in the pro shop could have a little more personality.
Fine Course
This course costs a bit more for the standard rate compared to other courses, but 3 of the 4 players in my group got discounts, making it very affordable. The course was in great shape. Starter on hole #1 is nice, although our tee time was late/mid morning and tee times were already running late. Pace of play was slow on the front 9, but not unbearable by any means. Pace picked up considerably on the back 9. Greens were in great shape.
Super Slow
Course is nice but it always takes for-evvverrr to play a round because they overbook. There is usually a backlog of golfers on the first hole waiting to tee off.
Doesn't matter if it's 7:00AM or 2:00PM be prepared for a 6 hour round.
