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.

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.
Play at Far Oaks
Thought I payed on GolfNow, but was told I did not.
Golf course was in good condition. Looks like they cleared some trees out from last year. Staff, as always was great. Cart girl was outstanding.
Awesome course
This course was great. Conditions were near perfect, staff and overall layout if great. Price is good for quality as well.
Top Tier Public Facility in St. Louis
Far Oaks is a solid course with a strong back-9. The greens are usually firm, fast, & true. The clubhouse MAY be the best public facility clubhouse within 500 miles. Crafted from timbers found on the property, it's truly an impressive structure. Far Oaks is not the most challenging but it can sneak up and bite you and will be in the Top-10 of anybody's must-play list in St. Louis.
Great course with super fast Greens
Overall, the course is in great shape.
Perhaps the greens could’ve been a little better taken care of.
They were extremely fast.
The layout was fun and very diversified.
Good value for the money.
Far Oaks is beautiful this time of year
Corse is coming along. Great shape for as cool as it has been. They did sand the greens the day we played.
Coming back nicely
Course is looking good coming out of the off-season play
One Of The Best Courses In The St. Louis Area
Far Oaks has always been one of my favorites. A fair, fun layout with every hole being different. Looks like they will be doing some work on the bunkers. Looks like sand piled up in the parking lot. They have cleared a lot of trees in the area of the 8th tee, 10th green and 11th tee. Looks totally different.
I thought the tees, fairways and greens looked great for early April. With warm weather coming up, the course will look beautiful. The greens were aerated several weeks ago and the greens were pretty smooth already.
The bunkers on hole 2 need some work and have been like this for sometime. Lot of erosion off the 11th hole cart paths and in front of hole 15 near the cart path.
Overall, get out and play Far Oaks. One of the best.
