Type Public
Par 72
Length 7078 yards
Slope 135
Rating 74.2

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.

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.

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.

Walked

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.
