Far Oaks Golf Club

The course is still one of my favorite courses around St. Louis. The course itself is in good shape with a good layout. Worth the 35 minute trip for me to get there.

course in good condition. Pace of play less than desirable. overall, good experience. one complaint is that we had already started round and out of nowhere comes the starter . he wants us to wait on the course so he can hook a single up with us. as busy as the course was, there was nobody that had not started their round yet that he could hook the single up with??? C'mon guys , let's get our tee sheet organized

Nice facility and nice course overall. Like the course layout. Bonus points for new golf carts and awesome club house.

Greens were in the condition to be expected of a lesser facility. Several (noon Par-3 holes) had cart-path only fencing which was annoying, especially to my seventy year old playing partner with bad knees.

Course needs to decide whether to try to stay upscale or go cheaper with lesser maintenance. Current condition more the latter than the former.

Zoysia fairways were great. The greens were above average.many gorgeous homes have been built on this course the past few years. Overall a great golfing experience

Played Far Oaks for the first time with a friend from the area. Staff was friendly from the beginning. The gentleman working in the pro shop offered us a large bucket of range balls before our round at no charge. Rangers on the course were around managing the pace. My only knocks on the course are that the bunkers were in below average shape as they were extremely low on sand. We had to move our ball or rake sand to a spot to get a somewhat true sand shot. We were told that this was going to be taken care of. The only other negative was the length of the fairway grass. I felt the grass was a bit long for a fairway. Not sure if this is always the length of the fairway grass but I would prefer a true short cut fairway. All in all I would not hesitate to play the course again.

Great place, friendly staff, fun layout, good condition

Not a lot needs to be said. Out of everywhere I play in Southern, IL, this place is top 3. Always good conditions and a fun course layout.

Quick Tip: Play #1 from the Tips, even if you aren't playing the back tee boxes. It'll make it play closer to an actual par 5.

This course has some nice holes, but as a whole, there are some issues with how the holes flow. You definitely could NOT walk this course...green to tees are long drives on some holes and the cart paths are poorly laid out (especially #16)...why is the cart path so far up the hill from the green? Clubhouse staff are friendly and attentive, but the groundskeepers are less than considerate. They will not stop their mowers or move out of the way when you play thru. Overall, it played like a 3.5 star course and when the fairways come in, I will review again and probably up my review to a solid 4. This a good course, but could easily be a 4.5 course with a few tweaks.

Course has a variety of holes so expect to use all of your clubs. The course was in decent shape, but a few tee boxes are in bad shape. Most of the greens roll true, but are a bit slow. Overall it is a nice course and a great value for the price.

Course in great shape great price always fun to play

I enjoyed my experience and the price was reasonable.

Fun course to play with sufficient challenges. Course is in good condition given the time of year.

Love this course. One of the best around. The rough was very thick and deep.

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.

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.

One of my favorite courses in the St Louis area; awesome greens; great character.

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!

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!

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.

Neat course. Not too hard not too easy. Good value just too far for me. 45 miles away
