Crescent Farms Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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.
Improvements Continue
Course has had fantastic improvements and they continue despite being understaffed.
In great shape these days!
Crescent Farms has taken a huge step forward in the last few summers. The course is in great shape and is always fun to play! Staff is great and the greens roll very nicely!
In great shape
Course was in great shape and delivered on many levels.
Wow!
What a great course! Friendly staff. Lots of marshals making sure play was on time. And…..even beverage carts on the course! Greens were a little shaggy with very little break. Fairways are narrow, so if you can’t keep it in play, probably not the course for you! Overall a great time.
Great staff, nice layout, great pace of play first thing in the morning
The staff is very welcoming and friendly! The layout is nice and can be demand if you play the wrong tees. The greens are big and very receptive of approach shot. It is the end of July and the greens may be a little slow to some, but that is because the staff is ensuring that the greens don't burn up and die in this heat. I enjoyed my round and would come back if I'm in town again.
Consistent
Nice course. Nice layout.
$75? That’s pushing it.
Decent course, terrible customer service
Course itself was nice and a good challenge, generally a flat course with some nice over-water par 3 holes. Mature trees and narrow landing areas required precision off the tee.
The issues we had was with the service of the marshalls and resultant pace of play enforcement. I was in a foursome and they pushed a twosome ahead of us 5 minutes early, thus creating a ~13 minute gap. My group was continually harassed on the front 9 about pace of play because we were not keeping up with the group ahead. It is difficult to do that when we are a foursome and the group ahead is a twosome which pushed early. The marshall eventually forced us to skip a hole, and we ended having no one in front or behind us, so it was a total mess.
I adhere to pace of play but I take issue with the way the marshall handled it. Very rude, not accommodating and just jerk about things.
Course maintenance was also a bit of a issue on the tee boxes. Many were uneven or had deep impressions in it, to the point where you felt like your ball was above or below your feet when you teed off. Additionally, many tee boxes were unkempt and needed mowing.
Poor signage and directions to next holes just added to the below- average experience on this course.
I won't replay this course again.
