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.

Great course in great shape
Don’t go play between 7-11 at that $90 rate and deal with slow play, wait for the afternoon and pay between $45-$55 and it’s a great value at a faster pace. Greens are the best in the area and they’re always improving.
Good Shape, Way Overpriced
Far Oaks is a nice course in pretty good shape except for the slow greens and bunker reconstruction. The pace of play was around 5 hours, which is very high but unfortunately every course in the St. Louis area is that way as no one wants to enforce pace.
The thing that got me, is while this course is fairly nice, it’s not $83 green fee nice. At that price one would expect perfect condition, pace, and generally just a higher tier course with more robust design and ameninities.
The staff was very nice.
Course is in excellent shape!
I always enjoy playing here. Everything was in great shape, especially the fairways. Greens rolled true. Plus I played really well for once! I'll be back.
Unsat Pace of Play
4-some always waited for a 2-some all holes. Could only tolerate 9 holes at this poor pace.
A Day at Far Oaks
Great layout, greens recovering from aeration but held iron shots very well, some tee boxes a little rough, many sand traps were “muddy”…could have been from previous days rains (don’t know how much they got).
Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Lots of rough and “void” areas along cart paths. Lots of maintenance staff out and working the grounds so I’ll assume they’re doing their best to make the course the best it can be over time. Would have liked to see the beverage cart a few more times.
Overall a darn good day and a darn good course…well worth the price unlike many area courses.
Far Oaks
Course was in great shape, Staff and Cart girl were friendly and helpful. No course Marshall, which would have helped on back nine.
