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.

Cart path only, but watering the fairways?
The course was in very nice shape. It was odd however that we’re playing path only, but they were watering fairways and greens all day. The traps were soaked and in some cases small ponds. But we had a lot of rain a couple days ago. Greens were very good. Tee boxes also good.
Really like the course. In great condition and with it being hot it was not crowded leaving it wide open which I love. One of my favorite courses.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Crescent Farms Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good day
Was very surprised what great shape the course was in after all the rain. I was expecting sitting water in low lying areas, but other than some damp spots it was in great shape.
Hi, we appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back!
Nice layout that will challenge all aspects of your game
Crescent Farms is a parkland style course about 30 minutes southwest of St. Louis. It is in an area that is rather hilly and picturesque, though the course itself does not have many major elevation changes. The course has a great mix of holes, with several forced carries over water and sand traps that only come into play with errant shots. Holes 7, 8, and 9 were my favorite. Hole 8 is probably one of the nicest par 3 holes in the St. Louis area, with a short tee shot over a serene lake that is framed by several large trees.
My only complaint would be that the conditions could be slightly better. The fairways were rather dry despite all the recent rain in the area and some of the tee boxes needed work. However, I would say that the price for my round was appropriate and the current conditions should not deter any golfers to this nice facility.
Hi, thank you for the four-star review and the detailed feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed playing the layout and had an overall good time. Thanks for stopping by, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Awful slow
Took 2 hrs and 45 to play front. And 2 15 on back. Called to complain and they did not care. Three holes open in front of slow group in front of us. Staff does not care.thought 6 hours is normal
Hi Michael, we apologize for the slow pace of play. You played the day before the Blues Stanley Cup Parade which ended up bringing more people than normal to our course. We do care about your experience and are sorry about it. We usually only have Marshalls for the weekend rounds or special occasions. We hope that after considering all of this, you'll come back again soon.
Hi, thank you for the five-star review! We are glad that you had a good time at Crescent Farms Golf Club. We'll see you again soon.
Fun course. Good shape
This is a fun course. You’ll enjoy playing it. The staff were very friendly and the course was in good condition. Holes nine and 18 or are very similar dogleg left.
Hi Tom, thank you for the five-star review! We are glad that you had a fun time at Crescent Farms Golf Club! Thanks for stopping by, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
All play starts on 10
Course was in excellent shape though the greens were a little long and therefore slow. Couldn't see a reason for all play starting on 10th tee.
Hi, thank you for the four stars! We are glad that you found our course in excellent condition. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to see you again soon.
Shaping Up!
I played the week prior and the course was extremely wet. This week things are really shaping up and there was minimal water on the course. The greens may be a little long although they are in VG condition and roll extremely well.
This is a very walkable course.
See you again soon!

Course is in good shape, greens slow
My only complaint that the course has control over is how slow the greens are. Rough was challenging but that’s due to the rain I’m sure. Overall it’s looking pretty nice out there. No beverage service on the course??
Hi, thank you for the four stars! We appreciate your feedback and have sent this to our staff. We hope to see you again soon.
Wet city
Crescent farms was a wet mess ... flood water was everywhere except on greens which were better than normal
Wait for the water to dry up in a month or so
They have improved some green areas which helps
Hi, we are sorry that you didn't have a great experience the other day. We do our best to keep the course up to par, but unfortunately we cannot control what the weather will do. We hope you will consider coming back in the future.
Great course, lots of character, and challenging.
Very nice pro shop gentlemen helped us with payment and morning drinks. The young girl working the carts was working very quickly getting carts ready. They could have used one more helper but they worked quickly for the rush group getting ready for a mini outing. Course was in great shape except the sand traps were neglected. Course was challenging but not overly so. My first time playing course. Small ponds on boarder of fairways made it challenging but the card was well marked so had to keep eyes on card to know where danger was. Pace of play was fast. Overall was a great experience.
Hi Mark, thank you so much for your detailed feedback and for the five stars! We are glad that you had a pleasant experience with our staff and enjoyed playing Crescent Farms Golf Club. We'll see you again soon.

Great Day & Course
Everything was great until we finished up our round at 5pm and all access to the bathrooms were locked in the clubhouse. There were many players still on the course behind us and the staff attendant said the girl closed early. That was not good since another rest room facility was miles away unless we went back on the course to use the johnny on the spot. Left a bad taste...
Hi, thank you for the four-star review. We are sorry about that, but we hope your golfing experience was a good one. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see you again soon.
Course under repair
Course was ‘under repair/construction’ and in sub par condition. May be better by May or June, but can’t be too picky for early Spring.
Hi, thank you for the four stars! Once the weather picks up, our course will be in much better shape. We appreciate your patience and hope that you will come back again soon.
Poor management
Booked a tee time on their website on 3/1 to play 18 holes on 3/2. They took my credit card number and billed me. We show up on 3/2 for our tee time and the course is closed. No one called. Who takes your money and then is closed. Shut down your website from taking tee times on days you will he closed. We only booked one day ahead of time. Tee time was for 11:30, so a lost day because we couldn’t find another course in time to play.
Hi Steve, we are sorry that we couldn't let you know sooner about the course closure. Sometimes the weather springs up on us and we can't give a farther out notice. We hope that you were able to be taken care of.
Hi, thank you for the five stars! We are thrilled that you had a great time at Crescent Farms Golf Club. See you again soon.
Excellent
Fun, challenging, and rewarding. Best part though is how well maintained the course is.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Ed. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Crescent Farms Golf Club thanks you!
