Sugar Creek Golf Course offers some of the best scenery of any course in the St. Louis area. Golfers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the course's elevated tees. The course opened in 1990 with several improvements made in the following years. The layout is a manageable length at just under 6,100 yards. It is player-friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence but there are also challenges in store for more advanced players. Water only comes into play on one hole but there are stands of trees lining the narrow fairways. The golf course will generously reward accuracy and good strategy though it is not overly punishing if you are slightly errant. In addition to the course, Sugar Creek G.C. also boasts an expansive practice range with 35 hitting stations.

This course condition has improved a lot since I played here last time, the greens are in really good shape, fairways are in much better shape also. Looks like they're putting some money into it, glad to see it.

Comeback

I came out to this course a few years back and was very disappointed in how it looked. Lots of dead greens, and dead spots in the fairway. Gave it another chance last year and the turnaround is night and day. Greens are in excellent shape, the fairways are growing and even this early in the season everything was in good playing condition. Great value here, give them a look.

The course is a great value and has a fun layout, a lot of elevation changes. The greens were rolling for early March, definitely worth getting out to. Friendly clubhouse with cold beers

Awesome Value. Underrated Course

Great views, quite playable course, but the great thing is that with the hilly terrain in the area, there’s a great variety with each hole making it hard to feel like things are getting monotonous as you progress through the course. Ground conditions were great as well. And the staff and owner are extremely friendly and accessible. You can tell that they are dedicated to improving and perfecting the experience here, and treat all of us like valued customers.

If I can offer any constructive criticism, I would strongly recommend investing in some electric golf carts, and refurbishing and resurfacing the cart pathways. Otherwise, there is no doubt I’ll be going back.

The best value in St. Louis

Played this course 3 times in the last month. Most underrated course in the area. Greens are as good as any in the area. Fairways for this time of the year are exceptional. Staff really are attentive. Owner came out on the course and personally greeted us. Asked what he could do to improve our golfing experience. Told him to please continue to maintain the outstanding course conditions. We play 10-12 area courses each season; this is by far the best value

Couldn’t be better

You can not beat the Sugar Creek for the price. Best course in the area for the money. Course is always in great conditions. They are good about spacing out tee times to keep up pace of play even on a 70 degree Sunday. Love this course

Awesome course for the right price

This course is awesome! Challenging yet fun, difficult yet rewarding. And absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The drive up to the Club House was spectacular. I love the different elevations and curvature of the course. And you CAN'T beat the price for what you get. Merry the owner in the course searching for improvements too! SUPER nice guy! Clearly cars about the course and the staff within it. The staff was polite, conversational and just all around present. I will DEFINITELY be going back asap.

Getting Better

I gave up on Sugar Creek a few years ago but they have made improvements. Course still a little quirky but greens have really improved. 16th hole has changed a lot. For the better. Not championship caliber of course but good value for the money. Again greens have really improved.
