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.

Affordable and fun course
Crescent Farms is a very nice course for the price. They have everything you need from practice green and driving range, to nice carts and well manicured course.
Crescent Farms
We were lucky, nice day in December. The greens were in pretty good shape but a lot slower than other courses I have played recently. The tee boxes and fairways were acceptable for this time of year, lots of leaves in the rough, you won’t find your ball there.
My only big complaint about the course is the number of trees (too many) or at least cut the back limbs where they reach out into the fairway (holes number 1, 2, 10, 11, 14) making the tee shot even tighter,
They have improved the condition of the course in the past few years. The clubhouse has been updated, and there in room indoors for the 19th hole. The staff is generally friendly and helpful.
Could use new mats on the driving range, worn and hard.
Rates for me are fair during the week when I can find a hot deal.
Crescent Farms
Great course layout, very good condition, great staff and excellent club house. Highly recommended
Conditions getting better but…..
The course condition is getting much much better than when they were at their low point several years ago. Good lies in the fairway and rough not overly penal…..but, the greens still need some work. They weren’t slow per se but they really didn’t have any speed to them and they were very bumpy which led to putts getting off line quite easily.
Sunday 10/17
This would be my 4th time playing this course. Love the layout and greens are in good shape. Too expensive to be fair, but that’s life now with covid and more people out. I always enjoy playing this course, pretty straightforward and easy track.
Improvements Continue
Thank you Mr. Roberts for continuing to improve this course of yours! The club house and course conditions are much appreciated as your improvements are made. Kudos to the course maintenance staff!
Slow greens
Greens were very slow. Very difficult to get the ball to the whole. I’m used to fairly quick greens. So I guess that’s on me. Yes boxes were cut very high kind of annoying but doable. Pretty cool layout tho makes you have to make decent shots. Would definitely play again. Hopefully I’ll remember to roll the rock with a little more pace
Great course.
The course was in great shape. My only complaint was the food. It was terrible.
Slow greens
If you like paying 65+ dollars for greens that barely roll 7 this is your place. At the price they are charging at least get them to 9.
Greens were incredibly slow and wobbly.
Tee boxes and fairways needed mowing badly.
Unsure why they can’t cut cups daily. They had 3 holes plugged on each green. I understand it takes labor to cut cups but getting 65+ a round you can clearly pay someone to cut cups daily.
Pace of play was excellent 3 hours 49 minutes on a Sunday is beautiful.
Course condition is good but tee boxes and fairways were nonsense at the price they charge.
Good course-weird deal w greens
After a storm the night before and the greens being some of the slowest I’ve ever played (uncomfortably slow), the grounds crew had been instructed to WATER THE GREENS. Good course and I like playing there but the greens situation took away from our round.
