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.

This course is tight

The course is extremely tight. The greens are rolling at about an 8. I found a lot of the tee box setups frustrating based on trees immediately in your path if not trying to hit 15yd wide fairways wasn’t hard enough look out for the low hanging tree 20 yards off the tee box. The weekly rate at $70 might eliminate unwanted golfers, but the course is not worth over $40.

Staff is always very friendly and courteous. Greens had just been aerated so conditions were not optimal.

Fairly nice, but always seems overpriced

The course was in good shape though aerated greens and fairways should be more openly communicated before tee times are booked and perhaps discounted. With other equally good options in the greater St. Louis area, this course only seems worth it on a discount. Among the triad of courses here I'd rank them Pevely , Crescent, Aberdeen - and they seem to be priced that way accordingly. Fairways were in very good shape. Some tee boxes were under repair (glad they are fixing them) but where we were supposed to tee off wasn't obvious so we just used apps on our phones to find the approximate distance for our tees.

Very pleased with the course at Crescent Farms. Bunkers were in great condition (unlike other courses I've played in STL). Fairways and greens were in great shape. Oddly, one Marshall was very kind and worked with us to play through a slow group ahead of us. However, another Marshall yelled at me while putting because my playing partner had driven the wrong way around a green to get to the next tee box. Totally unnecessary. And the decision to have everyone start on the 10th tee defied logic. There is a reason for a practice putting greens location being near tihe #1 tee. Overall great course conditions but employee decisions and statements detracted from an otherwise great day!
