Creve Coeur Golf Club

Played there for only the second time ever. Usually I like to walk when only playing nine holes, but I took a cart as it is quite hilly.

First off, the greens were in excellent shape. Appeared as if they had been punched a while ago and recovered very nicely. They are quite large but have a ton of slope to them.

Hasn’t rained in the area at all so the fairways rolled forever. I nearly drove the first green and hit my tee shot all the way down the hill on #6. The fairways are also slanted and it is rare that you get a flat lie. In addition, many fairways run closely parallel to others and plenty of stray shots landed near us, so be aware.

The second green is just in front of the parking lot so don’t go long there. Meanwhile the par-3 ninth green is right next to a busy road, so don’t go left! Holes 5 and 6 have approach shots that are forced carries over water. Could be challenging for less skilled players.

The course is pretty short without a big difference between black and blue tees, as they were both around 3,000 yards. However, the reds were at 2,400 so it would be beneficial to have something in between.

All in all, a fun nine-hole muni to play.

Love the greens , just don’t like how hilly the course is - hard to get a flat lie unless you always hit perfectly straight. Did like how the ball rolled a ton after hitting a good ball off the tee.

Staff friendly, pace of play excellent and course in excellent condition!

For only a 9 hole course it is challenging and has character. I will be playing it again soon. Dave

Unbelievable that you allow dozens of young school aged golfers to play at the same time as regular tee times. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. They all were walking around, dropping multiple balls, redoing putts, chit chatting, and had no etiquette for coming into other fairways when we are driving off the tee, running on the greens. Completely infuriating to wait 25 min at every hole just to watch 6 young girls try to practice golf with no urgency or Knowledge they are holding the entire course up. Do not let regular golfers book tee times with them or at minimum put a banner on your website saying when this is happening.

pace of play was a problem.. had to go around armatures and then the whole thing was backed up ... had to skip the first hole even..

This course plays fast, is easy to walk, and is generally in good shape. The greens are well cared for. The fairways are good. The rough is either thick, or hard pack. This is my only complaint, but exasperated by the dry conditions. Really forces you to stay on the upside of the fairways since the ball will roll a long way down the hill, but direction is not my strong suit. Most of the fairways are back and forth, so you have to contend with other golfers (me) playing from your fairway. Still a very enjoyable round. Played from the blue tees, which can offer a challenge, but the red seemed too easy. It would be nice to have a white tee in between.
