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.

Always an enjoyable time playing far oaks
Fun course to play with sufficient challenges. Course is in good condition given the time of year.
Watch the rough
Love this course. One of the best around. The rough was very thick and deep.
Liked the course
First time I played here. Course has a great design. There are some holes that don't have yardage readily available so might want to use GPS or a rangefinder.
It had rained for several days prior to my round so course was a little soggy. Greens are difficult to read. There are several little variances in the greens that make the last foot or two difficult to read the break.
I would play again if I can find a good rate on Golfnow. The regular rate is a little high for my pocketbook.
Great course
An absolutely amazing course. It has beautiful holes with beautiful homes surrounding them. Favorite course in the area by far and an amazing value. Overall an amazing experience. Helps you like the course when you shoot 2 under from the tips too.
Favorite in Area
One of my favorite courses in the St Louis area; awesome greens; great character.
Great Experience
This course is a gem that I did not know about until this day. I would put it up there with any course in the area!
Best course near downtown STL
I absolutely love this course, I live 40 minutes away but never mind the drive. The starting hole is a short par 5 to get your confidence started, followed by a fun par 3, then another par 5. The back 9 has 3 unique holes that are very fun to play. I am a 14 handicap but always play near par here, not that it's easy, it plays to my game and head too. The zoyia fairways are emaculate, they roll their greens and thus are very TRUE! Tee boxes are always in great shape. It's a great value. One of the best courses in the STL area. If you are coming into town, put this course on your list, my company had a users group meeting and stayed in the city. We carted everyone over and 100% said it was one of the best rounds they've had. Play it!
Far Oaks
First time playing course and it was a great experience for November. Only issues were the aerating of fairways and the slow rate of play.
Would definitely recommend the course and look forward to playing again.
Just aerated greens but still nice
Neat course. Not too hard not too easy. Good value just too far for me. 45 miles away
far oaks sep20
Exceptional fairways. I play immediately after a large tournament. Greens were well used and still true.
Excellent for the money. I got a hot deal off of golfnow for $15.00
There was a league or something going on so the front nine took a while, but once they got out of the way it played quick. Green were a little bumpy but rest of course was excellent.
Hottest day of the year
For the temperature we have been having the course is in excellent shape.
water n bunkers
Course got 8" of rain on the weekend and it was cart path only Tuesday. Rain ruined 90% of the bunkers. All the water coolers were empty on the back 9 when it was 90* and 90% humidity.
Fun to play
The course is in excellent shape. Lots of good characteristics you look for in a golf course. Blind shots, water hazards, reachable par 5s, really fun to play. The only problem I saw was that the yardage on the card is probably wrong. If you play, play from the tips. The 1st hole is a par 5 and I hit driver, 7 iron onto the green. There is a 340 yd par 4 on the back & I hit 5-wood off the tee and was greenside. All in all though, the layout is nice and the fairways are perfect.
very enjoyable
Course in great shape. Pace was awesome, no one in front or behind. Finished 18 in 3 hours. What happen to GPS on carts? New carts seem smaller and lack GPS that last year's models had.
Good layout
Nice course with interesting holes - greens were smooth and fairways were good. Bunkers are terrible
great experience-I will be back
My second time to play here--great conditions (some tee boxes are a little scruffy)--friendly staff in pro shop, restaurant , and on the course--finally a " local" course with a starter--I find this a much needed "amenity"--new scorecards with yardages are great--with new added yellow tees there are some yardage discrepancies between the new scorecards and stone tee box markers--also, some par 3 tee boxes have no yardage markers on the tee box while others do-- overall, I would highly recommend the experience of Far Oaks!
Used all my clubs
Really enjoyed playing this course. It has been over 10 years since I was here last, wont be that long until I go back.
Great Course
Course is in great condition. Pace of play was slow but got a great deal on the greens fees at GolfNow.
