Crescent Farms Golf Course

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.

Great Value
Course is in great shape. Friendly staff. Twosome finished in less than 4 hours.
1 of the Best in all of St. Louis
First time playing Crescent Farms and it was an absolute treat. This golf course facility is top tier superior and really second to none in the greater St. Louis area. From the exquisite course conditions, to the fantastic layout, traditional old school feel, superior facilities, and just a magnificent parcel of property- this public course is about as good as it gets. Yes, it could be even better with a Starter on #1 teebox and Marshall roaming both the front and back 9's. But, to play 18 holes in 4 hours on July 4th with a packed course was simply a treat. I've only heard great things about Crescent Farms, and now I know why. Pevely (whivh I love) and Aberdeen (sweet links style course) are both very close in proximity to Crescent. But, neither surpass the total gem of Crescent. Simply put, Crescent Farms is a must play- especially for serious golfers.
Great Value
I love playing this course, it has all the features for a great time of golf. With the lack of moisture in the area the course was in fantastic shape. The price for 18 is very fair.
I can't wait to return!
Great Shape
After a week of 90+ Degree days I was very pleased to find that, unlike Shinnecock, the staff at Crescent Farms had done a great job of keeping the course very playable. Only on a couple of tee boxes was it hard to get the tee in the ground.
If you have one opportunity - great spot to use it!
I had a chance to take good friend out for a round, this course did not disappoint! Spoke with other golfers in the clubhouse and they we very pleased as well. I heard other courses in the area had some trouble spots, I honestly did not have one complaint here. They must have mowed and watered that morning, we had smooth sailing. I will recommended this course to other golfers.
Convenient good condition good layout good tee boxes a little expensive
Pace of play
Normally the pace of play is fine. Today it was terrible! Had to quit after 13 holes. One tee was backed up 20 minutes!
Good course, Great Value
Great value for those looking for a decent course without breaking the bank. Not the most challenging but does force you to manage your shots off the tee. Course was in good shape. Staff is very hospitable. Clubhouse is nice and has all the normal amentities. Would recommend for those looking to get out of the city for something a little different.
Ok conditions
Course was in ok condition. Much better last year when I played it. Greens in great shape. Rough and fairway only fair condition.
Great course
Great fun course with super friendly staff. Would highly recommend this course.
Poor booking system
Did not play. Web site to book tee time could not list times available-it listed all times available
Nice layout
Pace of play was fantastic, the weather was gorgeous and as usual the staff was helpful and friendly. Course was in remarkably good condition considering it was Dec. 3rd.
Cresent Farms is a very nice course
Course in good condition but still a lot of leaves on the fairway and rough
Carts are good green are in very good condition
Fairways are all brown with zoysia grass but not that bad overall
Enjoy playing here
Shot a 39!on the back 9
