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.

Slow greens and even slower play

The course layout is good, but the conditions were not. The tee boxes and greens were overgrown. The greens were incredibly slow and firm. I am hoping I just caught them on a busy day, but the pace of play was painfully slow. I will give the pro-shop credit that they called me and told me a tournament they were having was running behind and my tee time would be delayed. I came when they suggested and things were still behind, so they gave me a free bucket to pass the time. However, even after the tournament had cleared, the pace was unacceptable.

Not great at all.

Definitely not worth the price. The course is not in condition for the price to play. Not worth it. Also overbooked with no management with regard to tee times. Wouldn’t come back until this is addressed.

Rough was tall and difficult to find ball.

Greens were somewhat slow.

Some of the mid to large size bunkers could use more than one rake.

Overall course conditions were enjoyable.
