Par 72
Length 7078 yards

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.

First round in Missouri

After being dormant for 4 months, I finally had a chance to play again. We just moved to Missouri and this was my first round playing in this great state. This course is amazing. It is challenging, fun, and gorgeous. The staff are super friendly and the food is excellent. The burgers were so good, that my playing partner suggested we get some more after the round. The food was a 5-tar with a 3-star price tag. I'm extremely happy with them. We'll be back for sure!

Punitive of hot deals

The course is good. The started basically berated us and treated us like second class citizens. He said argumentatively that because we used a hot deal they weren’t making money on us.

Nice little course! Great staff but pace of play was rough! Granted it was cart path only but had to call ranger as 3 groups on one hole and ended quitting after 9 to avoid 4.5-5 hr play!

Nice public with consistent quality

This course never disappoints me. Played here a few times every year. Different length tees for all skill levels. Challenging and fair. Staff are great. Not as snobby as a few other public’ tracks in St. Louis metro area (I could be wrong since haven’t played there recently)

Shaggy greens

The green speed was quite disappointing. So much so that I could see the grass blades growing sideways to create grainy bent. Lower the mower blades please! I’ve played all the other Lewis Rd Eureka courses and the green speeds have been superior. Other than that all other course factors and staff were wonderful.
