Rating 74.1

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.

What a beautiful well maintained course. Staff are very friendly. The price was good. I liked it better than the two courses it's sandwiched between.

Fairways are amazing. Greens recently aerated, so bumpy

Once the greens get back to 100%, this course will be very competitive with nearby courses. Probably by late June. We started early on a week day. Play was very fast. Some challenging dog legs and water hazards. Most sand was very playable. Considering the flooding in May, the grounds crew has done an amazing job.

Good value for the money

Course overall was in great condition,nice area but a bit remote.

Had a great leisurely round ,not hurried and did not wait once.

Two holes were vacuums ,downhill into a creek on the approach, be warned .

Slightly overpriced

Enjoyable course and typically in good shape. Course rates are a little high for the course, but play if you can find a deal on a booking website.

Great layout, poor conditions

I was really looking forward to playing this course. The clubhouse is older but very nice and well maintained. The locker rooms are huge! Driving range was in good shape, although hitting driver there is not an option if you carry more than about 220. The course itself was not in good shape, though. Greens had just been aerated, which I understand is necessary, but the tee boxes were also very long. Almost like hitting out of the rough. Fairways were a bit long and my ball ended up muddy every time it landed in the fairway. There was some flooding in the area about two weeks ago, and the course may have taken on some water. I'm hoping that's the reason for the conditions, although I did not get the chance to ask. Layout was scenic and challenging. Tough course to play the first time, though. Lots of tee shots with blind or partially blind landings spots. I might try to play here again, but probably not anytime soon.

Hello, we would like to apologize that you did not have a great experience at the course. Your assumption was correct, the conditions were due to the recent flooding. The course was underwater for 4 days and closed for 12 days. We are not far from having the course back into tip top shape and look forward to having you back again soon!

will be back many times

First of all let me start with the starter. He was friendly and welcomed us to the course. Talked a lot of golf with him and he is very knowledgeable about our sport. The course played well and even challenged me to not hit the driver on some holes. Course management has always been my weakness and this course will help me improve on this. I will be back again!! Course landscaping is beautiful and well maintained!!

Wonderful Course

I've played her a couple times now and no matter the time of year, the course is always in great shape, even in late February. The greens were all in great shape. Only minor problem was the fringe was a bit bumpy, but that can be expected at this time of year. Overall was a wonderful experience.
