Far Oaks Golf Club

The only reason i play here is when i get a great deal on Golf Now. The course itself is just not as beautiful and appealing as other local courses. There is one port a john on the whole course and it's on hole 15. Which is after you stop in the club house so really not useful. Not very female friendly at all. Play was extremely, painfully slow. We ended up playing with another two some just to keep from waiting so long. Although it's somewhat challenging it's not a course you want to have to play cart path only on. Not a good deal for your money if you have to pay full fee.

Beautiful course and challenging. Very nice course for the price I paid. Would play this course again if I'm ever in the area.

golf course is in great shape. it pourd all morning so it was very wet, but still very playble. The pro who was inside couldn't have been more friendly.. I play here a few times a mont and I'm looking forward to returning.

good course for the moneyt

The course is in really good shape. The pace of play was quick with no waiting. We really enjoyed the great design and amazing weather.

Overall good course, nice layout. Would no doubt rate condition higher in another month or so since just coming out of winter.

Pace of play is the only issue I have had in the past hear. A Marshall cruising around would help

Great Course. Only downfall for the day was pace of play. I was in a twosome playing behind a foursome. We started waiting at every hole for at least 10 min in order to tee off starting at hole 10. The group did not let us play through. If a course ranger could patrol the course in order for these situations not to happen, that would be great.

Found an early morning discounted rate on GolfNow for second tee time. Foursome with first tee time let me play through as a single on second hole. This is a challenging track with numerous elevation changes. Need to play several rounds to learn the nuances and optimum target areas on some of the holes. A few holes require shorter, well placed tee shots with 3-metal, hybrid or long iron to avoid running through fairways to hazards. Course was in good shape and very playable although weather was cold and windy. Only criticism was that the sprinklers had not been turned off on the 2nd and 3rd greens until after I had played through the holes. Had to pick up and card two-putts on both. Will definitely play this course again when in St. Louis.

there is a lot of water on the course. The starter warned us about roped-off areas, and they were all over the course. Additionally, there was standing water on a number of greens. Not sure where all the water is coming from.

Overall bad experience, but a good course. Far oaks has some interesting holes, and is in good shape overall (fairways, tee boxes, bunkers are good - some greens are pretty bad though). Our group, and most groups in sight were waiting about 10 minutes on every tee box (and almost 20 min. on #5). It took us about 5 hours to get through 15 holes before we had to leave for other plans. It's tough to find any value in an experience you can't reliably fit into your day - probably won't be back.

Far Oakes is a joy to play, and when you're paired up with a couple of early morning regulars it's all the better. Had a fun time out and can't wait to see the guys again in a couple of weeks.

The course is gorgeous winding through some of the prettiest homes I've seen in the area. Setup is challenging but not too tough. Some of the greens are seriously canted which makes for some exciting putts.

The greens - folks, FIX YOUR BALL MARKS and PICK UP YOUR FEET (don't drag your spikes)!!! It's absolutely disrespectful to the property and the players following you. It's small thing that can kill a course.

Overall loved it - hope to make Far Oakes the "home course".

Was shocked at the condition of this course for the money I paid. I expected your regular run of the mill course set inside a subdivision. I was quite surprised when I pulled into the parking lot and saw this place. Well maintained and and excellent accommodations. Beautiful layout with challenging aspects. I will be back.

Golf course is great. It is a fun layout that gives players a lot of options off the tee. Fairways and Tees are perfect, however they need to move their hole locations to different areas of their greens. This is a great public course that has a lot of rounds but their greens are beat up because the hole locations are always in the same general area. I understand the need to give the greens plenty of water when it is this hot but move the locations around and the greens would look and hold up better

This used to be my favorite course. Tee boxes were fair, fairways were good, greens were in horrible condition. Not worth the high price

Great layout, reachable par 5's on the front, more open front 9. Back 9 is tighter and requires more layups. It's a great mix of holes and fun to play. Pace of play is very good. Even when it's "slow", I play 18 in 4 hours.
My home course, so glad I live close to it, will play it for years and never tire of the challenge!

Course was very nice. Greens need a little attention but generally in good shape. Definitely a course to play if in the St Louis area. Good value for the price.

The fairways were beautiful however, greens and bunkers needs some attention to. I would play again however, I would tell someone to play Stone Wolf before I would suggest Far Oaks.

The course was cut out of the woods with beautiful houses surrounding it. Some interesting and a variety of holes. Would play again.

Wonderful staff, drinks and the course is in great condition! I look forward to playing here again.
