Length 7078 yards
Slope 132
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.

Busy and bad pace of play

Course was super busy and pace of play was rough. We were waiting on a group behind us while getting pushed by some college aged kids in front of the ranger. We all play pretty quick, and was extremely aggravating to be waiting on our second shot for a team on the greens, while having people tee off and balls landing around us for 14 holes until the finally pushed the team up. Ranger did not intervene or say anything and should have told them something. Not a fun time. That being said, friendly course, and would play again during the week day and work hours.

I was very impressed with CF. First time playing. It was very wet. Despite the conditions, the greens rolled true but slow. Cool layout. Tough course from the tips for sure.

Not Friendly

Staff was not friendly. I Received zero notifications of the course being closed for the day. I will not consider playing there based on my initial interaction with the staff.
