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.

Terrible course.
Course is in terrible shape. Some rude staff as well. Won’t ever play there again. Would recommend at all.
A little surprised and disappointed
I've played here three times and this was the first time Ian say it was a little disappointing. The greens on the front nine were very shaggy and in need of some attention.
My group was behind another foursome and we had no issues keeping pace them. However, we were met by the course marshal and told we were a hole behind and needed to pick up the pace. When we arrived at the 10th tee box (after a stop at clubhouse) we were infact tight behind the foursome. Now that I've vented, I'd just like to point out that the marshals need to pay better attention to the groups they are lecturing
Great Course and Layout
First time playing here and I'll be back. Course was in great shape and an awesome layout. Greens were a bit slow but it was hot as heck so they were keeping them watered and slowed them down. Staff were great and a great setup with the bar and clubhouse. This will be a regular course now and looking forward to playing these greens at full speeds.
Great Course
Great scenery, fairways in good shape, greens are in great condition. Nice course with challenging greens and some tight fairways. Highly recommended. I look forward to playing it again.
Great course to play
Course is in good condition greens are great shape and challenging. Staff is very good and accommodating. Highly recommend and look forward to playing it again.
NICE COURSE
First time we played there, and it is a nice course. Friendly staff. Greens were pretty slow, but in nice shape. Very busy for a Thursday afternoon.
Crescent Farms
Course was in great shape and the staff was so friendly,.
Please put water out when it over 95
Please put water out with the temperatures over 95° shouldn’t have to spend $70 to play around and then by waters on the course
Great shape after rain! No food left at 2pm????
The course was in great shape and we got through 18 in 4.5 hours as a foursome with nobody in front of us teeing off around noon. We were surprised at the turn that they only had one hot dog left and they weren’t cooking anymore with a full tee sheet behind us. Very odd. I’ll be back for sure though!
Course in great shape for the most part and continues to get better. The major flaw being extremely slow greens! Unbelievable that this has and continues to be an issue as everything else gets better. Dead green speed equals less business!!!
Mowing greens is not optional
I played Crescent Farms yesterday for the first time. I must say that the course layout is pretty good. I would have enjoyed the round but the greens were so slow that it was a waste of time. I have never played on slower greens. I am not sure what the the deal was. Maybe staff shortage. Maybe mower is broken. Maybe they are scared of losing the greens in the heat. I will not be returning to play at this course.
