Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Great course!
New ownership took over and has made a ton of great upgrades. Every year the course is improving into the conditions of a private course and the cost is cheaper than a private course. Very impressed!

Great course except for a few issues
Loved the course and the staff is always super nice. Only problem I had was that the cart path was really rough and made for an uncomfortable ride. Otherwise it was a great course.

Great track, awful pace
Course has a lot of potential. Fairways and tee boxes need some love. Greens were great.
Worst part was the pace, round took 5 hours and while there were marshalls, no one seemed to be doing anything about the slow play even after we insisted multiple times.
Hello, Mordicad. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Played Today
Was considering cancelling due to all the rain, Glad we didn't. Don't get me wrong it was cart paths only but this course drains very well, there were low spots that were soggy but lift clean and place works for that.. Will keep that in mind next time we have similar amounts of rain. Arrived ahead of tee time and it worked out that the starter and a fore-some getting ready to tee off allowed our 2 some to jump in front of them which was nice. As mentioned although wet fairways were very playable and in very good condition. Greens were in very good shape. In all, I highly recommend this course and will add it to our list.
Not a fan of the stars rating system so here's mine.
Overall rating Very Good Pace; very good, course; very good (cart paths need attention), Staff; Very Good , value $; Excellent, Course layout; Very Challenging for the beginner but very fair,
Thank you for your review, wilshire5000. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Sugar Creek Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Favorite course in town
Love playing this course every chance I get. It’s cheap and the course conditions get better every day. I played on the Friday afternoon after storms all week and it wasn’t even too wet. The place drains well and it’s a great place to drain some brewskis. Pace of play is slow, but it’s still well worth it. The guy who runs the place is also so dang nice. The staff is always appreciative of every customer who comes out to play there and that’s seemingly harder and harder to come by these days. Can’t wait to play again soon
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, ltones. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Sugar Creek Golf Course!
A New Beginning
Sugar Creek is making a comeback! The course is getting some improvements and upgrades, just need to fix the cart paths. Great to see this course turning things around as the layout makes for a fun round of golf.

Love this course
My friends and i went to play golf yesterday and even had a tee time. The guy working the front desk wouldn’t allow us to play our full 18 because they had a league going on even though we booked a day in advance and the league didn’t start for another few hours. We decided that 9 holes was better than 0 so we went out and played. We ran into the owner and he was awesome. We told him what happened and he gave us his personal phone number to call him when wanted to play again so he could take care of the fees for us. Super nice guy. I love the course. It’s a really cool setup with tough holes. They are currently repairing some parts of it but for the price you can’t beat it!
Thank you for your review, MattCJ25. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Sugar Creek Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Every kind of hole you could possibly think of!
Sugar Creek is about 30-40 minutes away from the city, depending on traffic. This course has it all. Wide open fairways and tight fairways. Elevated tee boxes and elevated greens. Driveable par 4s/ par 5s you can reach in 2 and tight landing par 4s and long par 5s where you'll need every stroke. You can be successful as a long hitter or playing conservatively. The various elevation changes make this course unique and fun. On a clear day, you can even see the Arch from the 7th tee box. The greens were in fantastic condition. The staff is welcoming and friendly. It's also one of the best value courses in the area in my opinion. Sugar Creek is a fun golf course for a good price which is absolutely worth making the trip to!
Thank you for your review, rir2007. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Sugar Creek Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
This course is poorly maintained
Lots of spots where water gathers and the course is swampy or lots of spot where you’re hitting of dirt.
