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.

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.

Excellent staff and owner!!

So a friend and I left work early to go play this course, its been a few years since I have played there and I seen a huge improvement on all aspects of this course!! From the staff, the grounds crew, and especially the owner! We had the pleasure of meeting him on a hole. He introduced himself us and was a pleasure. They were doing some mowing and maintenance to the greens to try and beat the rain for tomorrow. We played right through with no problems. The greens look a 100 times better than the last time I played as well as the fairways. I honestly was super impressed!!!! So just wanted to say thank to everyone who is doing their part to make this course enjoyable again. Sincerely Jimmy Homeier.

Same course

Idk what all the reviews I’d read about this place being so improved were all about.. It seemed like the same course to me. Fairways were super long, tee boxes were shaggy and really hard, an entire hole was apparently unplayable.. Just not the kind of experience I typically seek out. Looked like there were a couple of projects going on, and maybe it will actually be decent someday, but that is not yet upon us.

Outstanding

This course was an absolute blast to play through. Each hole had beautiful fairways and greens. The cart paths are a bit beat up. Staff were super friendly, talked to the owner for a little after he sunk a great putt, seems he truly cares for the place and is making it better and better ever since he has gotten a hold of the course. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and challenging course.
