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.

Not a good experience

The course was in pretty good shape, though the greens were pretty bad (as it appears that they've started the fall maintenance -- LOTS of sand on the greens.) That may be why the price was lower than it had been all summer. We have for years liked this course a lot because of the layout and the people are friendly, yet it seems that every time we play it we leave dissatisfied. Yesterday, the pace was unbelievably slow. I actually called the clubhouse at the 13th tee and asked them for some help. They said they would send someone out, but no one ever came and there was no relief.

To explain ... Through the front 9, we stuck it out behind a newbie threesome that wouldn't let anyone play through, and were able to pass them by not stopping in the clubhouse at the turn. However, when we got to 10 we encountered a fivesome! On a busy day! We caught them at the 11th tee and asked to play thorough. One cart ignored us and headed on to their balls, parking in the middle of the fairway. The other carts said rudely said to play through, but we couldn't because the people in the fairway were already standing over their balls. So we skipped 11 and we get to 12 and there's a foursome playing a two-person team scramble -- and taking, no exaggeration, 3-5 minutes per team every shot, including 2nd putts! It was awful. IMHO, if a course is going to pack people in as they did yesterday, it's not a nicety, but a necessity to have one or more marshals out on the course to enforce pace. I want so badly to have a good experience here because I like the course and want to support them, but average conditions, bad greens and horrible pace do not make for much excitement to ever return.

Vastly Improved

I had not played this course in two plus years, which was a pasture at that time. I was impressed with the improvements, both aesthetics and course conditions. Greens were great and fast. I had 3 three putts. Cart paths are very rough, but that is the last thing I would put money in to. Cheers to the owners and greens staff. I will be back. Oh and thanks for the free drink late Friday.

Great value, challenging, fun

Love playing this course when I get the chance after work. the fair conditions are good for such a low price. Tee boxes weren’t bad and the greens were ROLLING. Most fairways are pretty good too. Challenging elevation changes and rolling hills will have you having a good time with this one.

Looking good again

This course has a reputation for being pretty bad. It's in the best shape I've seen it in years and ownership is still trying to improve it. Putting in new drainage is going to help.

disappointing

it was a holiday weekend so i understand backups from a full tee sheet and novice golfers. this seemed more like poor management though. the biggest surprise was how the course quality did not match reviews. fairways were crabgrass and greens were thin. its a nice layout but the conditions were not good.

local gem

I have been playing this course for many years and have always enjoyed the layout and challenge. With the new ownership and staff, the place is only getting better. The greens and in great condition and amenities of the course seem to be improved every time I play. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. We ordered food and drinks last min on the turn and they had everything already waiting for us when we walked in.

This is an excellent course for the money and always gives challenge with terrain and elevation. Would recommend to anyone.
