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.

Course has made an awesome comeback

In past years Mystic Oak was hot or miss in all categories. This place has gone above and beyond and has done a complete 180 from the food to the course conditions, especially the greens. Would highly recommend playing here.

January Golf in STL

Mystic Oak is a good alternative if you just need to get out and hit the sticks. Course is short, and the current fairways are rough. Greens were furry, but rolled true. But, it is January in St. Louis, so I will forgive these for now. If I get a chance to replay, I will also re-rate.

Greens in great shape

We have played here a few times over the last 5 or 6 years last time we were here greens were pretty chewed up. Pleasantly surprised to find the greens in Great Shape !!!! A few holes had some ground under repair in the fairways but not bad and able to play around all of it. The staff in the pro shop and in the restaurant and the greens keeper (that we ran into on the course) all are very friendly and helpful !!! A great deal !!!! We will be back !!!! Thanks !!!

Mystic Oak

Course was in very good condition. A challenging course with water on 16 of 18 holes. There were a couple of holes that presented special challenges. Altogether a fun course to play.

In great shape!

We played here last year & there were quite a few fairways & greens in really bad shape. We called & was told that they were fixed so we decided to play here. I'm glad we did. We just played here July 12 & the course is in great shape now. I'm really glad because it is a really nice course. I would recommend playing here now.

Much improved

Played last summer and the course was burned out. Second time playing this year and it continues to improve.

Tee boxes and fairways are greening up and in pretty good shape. Greens are very shaggy and slow, but rolling true with few bare spots.

The last time I played this course was two years ago. When I played it this past week, it was in waaaay better condition than it was a few years ago. The staff seemed to not care a couple years ago and I was pleasently surprised to see it was looking this good this season already. I actually saw the grounds crew out working to keep the course up. I would recommend playing here.

Great recovery

I golfed this course last year and it was in horrible shape, staff was aware of problems and working on fixing it. With new grounds crew course in great shape compared to last year. Conditions have made a complete 180 from last year. This course is now one of my favorites for the price.

Several bad greens

We had heard that there were some bad greens but thought we would check it out ourselves. There were 2 greens that we could not putt on at all. There were a few other greens that we had to move the ball around in order to putt. They had a 2 putt rule on those greens. The fairways were in good shape. We probably won't play there till they fix the greens.

Practice Round

Played this course for a preview to playing a tournament next weekend. Also played in early spring of this year, the new course management has begun what will be an uphill climb to fixing all the problems from previous management and are going in the right direction. Greens are looking much better, but fairways still need a lot of attention, as do the tee boxes. Overall it was not that bad of an outing for the price I paid. ( $19 with cart).
