Mystic Oak Golf Course in Waterloo has a diverse layout that seems to play a little differently each time you're on it. The layout features long, winding fairways and gently sloping greens, which are framed by a slew of strategically placed bunkers. There are also many water hazards that come into play throughout the golf course. The gently rolling terrain has subtle ups and downs that provide tricky uneven lies. The back nine is uniquely divided into three par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s each. The golf course will test your short-game skills but the lengthy par 5s offer driving opportunities for long hitters as well. Mystic Oak Golf Course is player friendly enough for a wide range of skill levels but you may be surprised to find yourself using all the clubs in your bag.

Don't Waste Your Time

What a terrible golf experience. 5+ hr round. 5-somes on the course. No Marahall entire round, found him eating a sandwich at the clubhouse. Fairways in terrible conditions; can't tell the difference between rough/fairway. Previous rain made it a sloppy/muddy mess. With so many options in the area, DO NOT waste your time and money here.

Rough shape

This will be the last time I play Mystic Oak. Have played there in the past and the conditions were good. Today was the worst I’ve seen it. Fairways have dirt/mud patches all over the place, standing water and puddles in the fairways from the sprinklers, greens were exceptionably slow and had not been mowed, weeds everywhere. Pretty disappointed to say the least.

What?

Don’t know what the STL bumpkin was whining about, stay on your side of the river I guess! Course is in great shape, although time to get done water on the tee boxes and move the markers, getting a little chewed up. Greens in marvelous shape. Waterloo is a hidden gem with so many good to great courses. Great job Mystic staff with keeping up with our tyrannical governors COVID edicts!

Not Worth The Drive

Waterloo isn't exactly down the road from downtown St. Louis so to make the trip for what turned out to be not even an average course was disappointing. Granted it was the day after lots of rain and the course was pretty water logged. Golfers living in the area were friendly enough to give me directions to the next holes, especially to third and fourth holes. There was nothing exciting about the course other than seeing a black swan in one of the lakes between holes 6 and 7. There are also couple of blind tee boxes in the back 9. Mystic is probably the bottom of the list of available courses in Waterloo..

Great course!

Only reason for 4 stars is because of high grass in the tee boxes.
