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.

Fun layout and solid golf
Loved the layout and how the course played. Had a blast, was half the price of courses nearby and will definitely play again!
Overbooked
The golf course was definitely overbooked and backed up. It was a nice course but had to wait 10-15 minutes on every tee.
Crescent always among the Best
Truly 1 of the gems in greater STL, well maintained tee to green, pace of play was excellent, and excellent facilities and staff. Will be back to play bunch more this 2025 season.
A Good Day
Very nice starter who got us out early. Really nice young lady running the grill at the turn. Good pace of play.
Fantastic course!
They had stacked up their bookings, so we were prompted by the marshalls several times to speed up despite carrying a decent pace of play.
Past that, the course was fantastic.
Fun Easy Track
Played here a few times and always enjoy it. It’s a relatively easy course compared to the other two in Eureka. Conditions are usually good (expect for 11, not sure if they’ll ever fix that hole). One caveat is that there is one man who works in the clubhouse who is the biggest crank I have ever met on a golf course. Never in a good mood and often is rude when it comes to basic interactions. Everyone else who works their has been very nice but it’s just that one guy for whatever reason is never friendly.
Not worth the money
I haven’t played this course in years and nothing seems to have improved. The fairways are way too narrow and many of the tree placements make zero sense. It’s just an odd layout and incredibly difficult for players who hit fades or draws. The course was also way too wet and muddy and shouldn’t have been open to the public in the first place. I should also mention hole 11 was closed to which we were never made aware of until we were out on the course. The staff was friendly enough and the amenities were what you’d expect but the $62 greens fees weren’t anywhere near worth it.
First round of the year
Course suffered from recent rains and a couple holes were shortened. The front nine played faster than the back as we caught up to a few foursomes. We waited on every hole from hole 7 on. I walked as my wife drove and we finished in 3 hours 40 mins. Overall the course was fun to play and as the season develops will be in better shape. We will definitely be back.
Under Repair
The course is being fixed up from some damage. Not sure if the damage is storm or river or just needed. Holes have been shortened.
It was also a very windy day. Wish I played better, but I enjoyed the day.
Good shape for springtime
The course is in fairly good shape for this fime of year. The staff was great
