Great course, greens in great shape. Only downside was the bumpkin in a Blows sweater mowing on every hole, don’t know if it is Mow Monday or what, but really annoying with this clown with us on 18 of 18 holes.

Greens Are Fantastic! You Gotta Play this Course!

After having had a bad experience at Quail Creek in S St Louis MO, with NO water on their golf course and a very rude manager, I decided it’s time to find another course and venture a little farther from home. I’m so glad I did! I saw the positive reviews in Golfnow for The Acorns which I haven’t played for years. Just driving up the long driveway, I knew I was going to enjoy this course. The fairways looked plush and luscious. And the green looked just as nice. Oh yeah! With all the rain we’ve had in this area, I was happy it was NOT cart path only, which we all know makes for a longer and tedious game. Kudos to Ryan and Rita who both assisted me in getting on that first tee. The price was very reasonable and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back and playing this course! The course is laid out nicely and my ball rolled smoothly on the greens. I’ll be back soon!

This course is awesome!!!

The greens roll amazingly. The fairways and tee boxes are always nice. Every hole had a different layout and it makes it fun/interesting.

Beautiful course

In spite of all the rain we've had, this course was in excellent shape! First time playing here so not sure how it compares during dry times. Even though it was cart path only, was not a difficult course to play (and I never seemed to be able to hit my ball close to the cart path). Will definitely be booking here again!

Good course, friendly staff, reasonably priced

One of my regular courses. There are a lot of courses that are closer to where I live, but they charge more and are in a lot worse condition.

Plus it’s rarely, if ever crowded. My experience at the Acorns is consistent - always a 4 star experience.

Looks like there are going to be some nice improvements for this year. Remaking a couple of areas, new carts, etc. I love that they are always making improvements. That’s a contrast from so many other courses.

Greens were sandy, but other than that, awesome!

Got a warm Oct day and played 18 with a friend. They had recently punched the holes in the greens so they were not great. Normally I love their greens, so just give it a week or two and should be back to normal. Fun layout and perfect zoysia fairways. Always play the black tees and it is challenging from there. Terrific value, especially if you can catch a Hotdeal.

Latest round at Acorns

I play well over 100 rounds of golf a year and most all of them in the St Louis area, probably 6 rounds at Acorns. Acorns is always , always, always in pretty good shape and is the most consistent Best Buy golf course within 40 miles !

A gem amongst the corn

I was pleasantly surprised by the course. I found myself driving down some country roads lined with corn fields. I wasn’t sure what I would find out here. The course was in very good shape from tee to green. The round took about 4 1/2 hours to play on a mid-week at mid-day. I would have liked a little quicker round. Other than that is was a great deal for the price. I would go back.
