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.

Awesome Round!
First opportunity to play this course. The course was in pristine condition! It had been aerated and the greens were still in good condition and better than most courses greens. The entire staff and clubhouse just exudes positive vibes! I plan to play again!!
Great Course
Great day on the links and course is in excellent shape.
Far Oaks a great course to play!
Fairways and greens are in excellent shape! A nice track!
Amazing course bad pace of play
The course has country club conditions but the pace of play was awful when I played. Everything else is great besides some houses on some of the holes but that’s just preference.
Excellent conditions!
Course in superb shape, greens were excellent. Staff super welcoming and friendly. Even have white sand bunkers.
Has come light years from several years ago. Absolutely blown away after not playing it for 4 years or so.
Rounds took under 4 hours but not many people out that morning.
Far Oaks
Course is in great shape. Fairways are unbelievable!
Local point of view
The course has matured over the years to a well conditioned test. New sand in the bunkers is a plus both for playability and aesthetics. The greens rolled true but show the shortcomings of heavy play. ie lazy golfer who refuse to properly repair their ball marks on the greens. I will not fault the greens staff on this point. I have a new appreciation for this track.
One Of The Best Courses in the St. Louis Metro Area
We played Far Oaks after an all-day rain the day from former hurricane Beryl. The course was not as wet as you would have expected. There was no standing water in any of the new, white bunkers. There were some drainage issues on some of the fairways but not awful.
The course was in great shape. They have even started to do some very small and shallow aeration holes on the greens. These tiny holes do not effect the green surface and no sand is spread on the greens. The weekday price for seniors of $43 is a steal.
They have done some major weed killing along the par 3, 13th hole and along the left side of the 17th green.
Things that need some attention, is the vegatation growing too high in front of the beaurtiful par 3, 6th hole. Really blocks the beauty of the hole. The tee markers are very hard to decifer to which color they are. With only the color of the tee around the white logo of a small log tee marker.
Play Far Oaks this summer, you will enjoy it.
Beautiful course
Course is in great shape. Greens rolling nice. Staff always very professional!
Great course
For public course, it was an excellent shape and then greens rolled very true.
