Crescent Farms Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Formerly known as the Players Club at St. Louis, Crescent Farms Golf Club has undergone more than just a name change with a major course renovation that included lengthening the fairways and reconstructing the bentgrass greens. The course has a parkland layout with mature trees lining the fairways and plenty of water coming into play throughout. There are also numerous strategically placed bunkers that appear along the greensides. Golfers will come across several risk-reward opportunities where good course management and accuracy are the key. One of Crescent Farms Golf Clubs toughest holes comes halfway through the golf course. The par-4 ninth hole begins with an intimidating tee shot protected by two fairway bunkers, a hazard to the left, and tall native grasses to the right. The challenges don't end there either, golfers are then faced with a second shot to a heavily bunkered, sloping double-tiered green.

Fantastic layout and condition.
Little high priced for my personal taste but really nice overall. And the staff were all fantastic! Thank you!!
First time
Beautiful course with many challenges. Only small complaint was cart girl didn't show until we were done (could have been hour we started). Will definitely will be back.
Loved the course.
Was in fantastic shape
Will definitely be returning.
No Water on Course
I have always liked this course. Good design, challenging without being unfair. But, no water on the course on one of the hottest days this week. Brutal!
Better then last year
Yes, last time I played here was 2025. The course was good then, but it's even. better now. Fairways were very good. Tee boxes good with a couple exceptions. Bunkers, as you find for most public courses, always could be better.. Greens slow, but in excellent condition.
Moving up the area ranks
Feel like the course conditions are improving and it is moving up on the list of better courses in the area. However it is slightly overpriced. It was $90 on a Sunday morning! It’s nice but not THAT nice.
Tee boxes and fairways were in good condition. The rough was almost too thick and was a challenge to play out of. Most greens were excellent but a couple were shaggy and needed to be cut. Big downer was the bunkers were not great. Very hard and need some work so they aren’t like concrete. The other disappointment is that they said they have no water available on the course. Not great for those green fees paid.
Course was crowded and relatively backed up leading to some waits on shots. Still not as good as nearby Pevely Farms but is more playable. Will likely try and make it back later this year.
Overpriced and needed maintenace
Love the layout of the course, but for $95 it should be more maintained. The rough was extremely long and the sand traps were hard as a rock. They did have rain 2 days before, but maintenance should have raked the traps. Was also annoyed by one of the marshalls who jumped into one of our carts to move it off the grass on to the path. He could have asked us to move it and we would have. Watched him drive in the grass after that when he could have driven on the path and then went around us. Love the course, but just needed maintenance and priced too high compared to other courses.
Poor Bunker Maintenance
Course is in good shape for early spring except the bunkers look to have not been raked since last fall. This is an ongoing theme there. For the price, bunkers should be maintained
