Sugar Creek Golf Course
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.

Vast Improvement
It's been a while since I played Sugar Creek and I was happy to say that I came back and gave the course another look. You can tell the owners and staff are working hard to turn things around. Some of the major improvements I noticed while playing today:
- Great turnout, even on a day with 90+ degree temps.
- Greens that were phenomenal.
- All turf areas on each hole had sufficient grass.
- Sand traps had decent sand to hit from.
- Tee boxes were wonderful and easy to place tee for drives.
All in all it was great to see so many people at the course and you could tell they have been working at bringing customers back.
The cart path in many areas was in need of repair, but I would not consider this a major drawback to playing this course - there are ways to get around rough spots on the path.
Thanks for all your hard work Sugar Creek!
Solid course for intermediate and advanced players
Course has a challenging layout but is a very good looking course. Owner has put in a lot of work into the course and is currently working on more. Has some really cool holes and a good mix of types of hole. Would definitely recommend coming here to play.
Great course for all players from beginning to advanced players
Great course glad to see constant upkeep with the course and very helpful and friendly staff
Let’s Talk.
If you have not been here in a bit, I get it. It was a dog track! Conditions were, let’s say, not good. But give me a second and hear me out on this. They have not changed the layout, meaning yes there are some holes that are less than ideal in layout, but there are a bunch that require good golf to be played! But you knew that and if you were like me, you always thought “man if this place were taken care of it would be a fun track”. Well that day is here. They have turned a corner and the course with TLC is in great shape. The fairways are solid, the greens are as good….no the greens were never good. These are like new greens all together, and they roll great. . They have put money everywhere it matters, and the effort is continuing. It is not a completed work, but they don’t claim it to be. I have talked with the Sup and Owner and they are passionate about turning this place around and making it into an inviting, playable course that challenges but keeps you interested. I’m glad they had a vision for this place and the willingness to start and continue to follow though on the project. Listen, it’s not Augusta, but I’m not Tiger. Just a dad who wants fun courses that are in good shape to be in the area so my son can beat me while I pay the green fees. Keep up the great work guys.
Great value for a course coming back
First time playing here in 7 years. It has taken a drastic change and is looking great. Great value can be found here
Awesome Value, Great Staff, and Great Conditions
First time playing here and we were super impressed! Greens and fairways were great and you could see the investments in the course were ongoing. Staff was super friendly, food was good and very inexpensive, and we will definitely keep coming here in the future!
Fantastic course close to home!
They have some of the best greens I’ve ever played on. The course is very well taken care of. Great price as well. I got a chance to meet the owner, and he was very friendly and down to earth. I will definitely be going back soon!
Outstanding!
I can't believe the last review I read on here. This course is in great shape and getting better everyday! That person probably had a bad round or day or something. Great staff and course conditions!!!!
Not good condition
Only $25 and I still don’t think it’s worth it. The fairways were barely distinguishable from the rough. It didn’t look like they were mowed recently. The greens definitely weren’t mowed in a little bit, the slowest greens I’ve ever played. And unless you play here often some of the holes are ridiculous in knowing where you’re even supposed to hit it to find the fairway. Was not satisfied.
AMAZING!!
WOW... where do I begin?! Before I even got on the green, I immediately felt welcomed by the staff. They were very friendly. I got a chance to meet Mr.Webbie, the GM, and he made me feel at home; As a fairly new golfer, this was very important to me. The course was taken care of incredibly well- super bright green and was very clean. There is a 110% chance I play here again!
Course was in great shape and the staff was vary friendly. Had a great time with my boys… will definitely play again
Absolutely play this course!
This is probably the most fun course to play around St. Louis.
There are a good mixture of challenging holes with narrower fairways and then a couple shorter par 4s that you can really go after.
So many of the tee shots you are high up on a hill looking down at the fairway and greens. You get to watch your ball soar forever when you hit it.
The greens were probably the best kept greens I’ve played this year. For the price you can’t beat it.
100% recommend! Excellent condition course and you can tell they put a ton of work in to it.
Great Course
First time playing here and it was a great experience. Has some awesome holes with major elevation change and some tough winding holes as well which are all fun to play. Tee box’s, fairways, and greens are all in great shape. At $25 for a weekday round, I don’t think you find a better value anywhere around STL. Highly recommend giving this course a go!
Course very much improved, great value
This course is greatly improved since the last time I played it a few years ago. The staff was working hard on it while I was playing today. Drainage system being installed on hole 15. Met Sarcus, the new owner, and much of the staff and their attitudes are wonderful. They are excited about the improved conditions of the course and the future appears bright for Sugar Creek. I was so impressed that I bought a membership, $1200 for all the golf you can play with a cart and free range balls for one year (prorated cost for me because I purchased in July-good until the end of the year). I recommend giving Sugar Creek a try!
Much improved!!
Pleasantly surprised on recent outing at Sugar Creek - have not played in over 5 years but will certainly be back - course much improved and really nice greens although a few were a little shaggy - staff very friendly & will be back soon ✅
Good value for money but…
We enjoyed the outing. PROS - friendly staff, very affordable, creative design. CONS - recent rains have taken a toll on this course. One of the par 5s playing as par 3 due to significant repairs to fairway. Lots of visible water in bunkers and low area. Cart paths way overdue for replacement. All in all, we enjoyed it.
Affordable and beautiful
Started as the first teatime of the day. Course is beautiful from first tee to last hole. Only downside to this course was the car path is gravel and many places as well as broken asphalt. Besides from that the grass was much better than any course at this price I’ve seen so far in St. Louis with very little patching and very consistent lies.
