Fun Course

This course has some fun holes. It was in decent shape the day I played. They didn't have any range balls available when I played. The rough was pretty deep. My playing partner lost a couple balls that only missed the fairway by a few yards. Overall it is a fun course. Bring a couple of balls you don't mind taking for a swim for 18. If there isn't a strong headwind, then the longer hitters can carry the water and drive the green.

I absolutely love this course. The only thing I would change is that maybe they should have a little better signage on getting to the course.

Acorns is terrific

Great course for beginners, there is a lot of open holes and it is very forgiving. The are large, and moderately difficult. This is one of my favorite courses in the Greater STL area

An oak from a mighty acorn grows

Good layout and the greens are in good condition. The tee boxes are in some need of work: limbs, ragged, and no steps when needed. I will go back to play in the summer

Sloppy but fun!

Course was sloppy but that's to be expected this time of year. Only complaint has to do with other golfers who don't fix their ball marks. I'll be back after it greens up!

Nice course - rough too high

Overall the course was in good shape. Pace of play was excellent. The rough was quite high, unsure why as the weather would have been conducive to cutting it.; made it very difficult to find balls not hit in fairway. The greens had just been aerated and sanded so the ball didn't roll true but this was unavoidable. It was a beautiful fall day for playing golf so these concerns didn't spoil the day.

Nice Course, But!

Acorn Golf Links is a nice layout, with attractive scenery. It is well conditioned, and the greens, although pretty beat up with unfixed ball marks, putt well and are smooth. The one objection I found was the 5+ hour pace of play. If the almost 3 hour front nine as not bad enough, when I made the turn I discovered they had started a new group ahead of us at the 10th hole.

Great course for under $30

Short course with several tricky holes. Would play this course often if it was closer to me. The only thing in the down side is yardage markers seem to be inconsistent and not accurate.

Enjoyable day!

The staff was great. Finding the 1st tee was a little difficult, once we did, the rest of the course was easily done. Very nice course, a few holes are a challenge, 1 and 2 for sure. Hilly and blind corners. Hope to return soon!

Beautiful course

Played my first round at Acorns and loved it. Does have some disappearing fairways but it makes for a more challenging round. I gave the course condition 4 stars only because of Mother Nature, fairways were getting dried out because the lack of rain but still very playable. Can't wait to play there again.

Nice day on the course.

Conditions were good even though rough was pretty dry in quite a few places. Greens played fast, grass collars were good. Plenty of areas to get into trouble with water. Friendly people and nice facility.

Nice course, needs range

Nice very playable course. Scenic views without all of the houses. Probably because it's off the beaten path--not easy to find your first time. But if you can move the ball this is a good course to test your skills. Many holes are shorter and require something other than your driver. If you can draw or fade a fairway metal these holes are easy. If not, good luck. The course needs a real range, tough to warm-up on this one.
