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.

Good course for the price

The course is in good shape the fairways and greens are looking good. Long distance between holes would not recommend walking unless you know the course. Challenging layout easier to layup on some holes.

Staff is awesome and always super friendly!

The staff here always gives us great rates and works with us on time since most of us come after work. Ran into the Director of Marketing on Hole 7, Mr. Jeff Gabriel. Super friendly guy and easy to talk to. The friendliness is what keeps us coming back!

Great course, well maintained

Came out on a Saturday morning and played a full 18. Course was well

Maintained, and seen no issues with the course. Traffic was pretty fair during the early hours but gets a little busy around noon. The staff was welcoming and helping as well. Would recommend to all skill levels and will definitely be back

I remember playing this course many years ago and it was in terrible condition. Friend of mine told me this course was in much better shape now so we decided to play today. The course is in great shape and the price is great too! Will definitely be coming back soon.

Wow this Course has changed

I came here to golf 2 years ago and it was pretty crappy to be honest. Heard through the grapevine that the course is playing well as of last year. It is in great shape and greens are excellent. Would def play again. Going to come back next week can’t be 25 bucks and a cart for a golf round.

First time, loved the course!

Played Sugar Creek for the first time and loved it! Course is in great shape, nice greens. Hilly, challenging, not too easy but not too hard. Fun course to play. Great value compared to other courses. Staff and owner are extremely nice and accommodating. Will definitely play this course again!

Short but medium-difficulty course

Played the blues which was 6100 total yards. Not very long but accurate shots are needed to shoot low. Fun and a good price at ~30$ with a cart!

This course is beautiful

Fun course with fantastic views and load of hills. A few of the tee boxes were pretty beat up but other than that, was impressed with the overall conditions, especially the greens. Bonus points for meeting the owner Sorkis as he was cutting the grass on the 4th hole. Lots of respect for an owner that is willing to do the dirty work to keep their business well maintained.

The Return of Sugar Creek

I use to go to Sugar Creek 5/6 years ago and the course was in horrible shape. From the tee boxes, fairways, to the greens, horrible! I said I would never come back. My golf buddy booked a tee time Sunday for Sugar Creek off of Golf Now Hot Deals for 15.00 per at 9am. I didn't want to go. I'M SO GLAD I WENT! The course is under new ownership! It has had a complete makeover. The course looks fabulous! They have friendly Marshals at the start and along the course keeping pace of play fair (they even were helping find balls). Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in GREAT SHAPE! When we were done, one of the owners was out working, returning the carts.(I didn't know he was the owner)He was very appreciative that we chose his course and he asked us how was our round, and was it anything they could do to make our experience better? My only concern was that they need to repave the car paths but everything else was GREAT! I will definitely be back! Sugar Creek is now back in my rotation of courses that I will be frequently playing. GREAT JOB TO THE OWNERS, GROUNDS CREW, MARSHALS, FOR BRINGING SUGAR CREEK BACK!

Absolutely beautiful course

This course has some great views and a great game. The holes vary between very difficult, unique shots to pretty standard straight fairways with hills involved. I would love to play this course again and bring my family with me. The staff was super helpful and it was an extremely clean clubhouse and course. It’s a very quiet course with hardly any fairways that run next to each other (which I like).

Great coruse

For the price, location, and and overall looks and play, this course is top of the top. Met the owner right before we played and he said he had confidence we were gonna like this course, he was right. My group and I were very impressed by how well this course is kept up. They really rebuilt this course and made it something special. And price is very reasonable! Highly recommend and will be coming back for sure.

Great course!

Definitely an underestimated course! It was in good condition and offered challenging holes that were still very manageable for less experienced golfers. Have golfed many courses around here and this is a top 3 along with great staff! Highly recommend for any any level of golfer!

In great shape

This was the second time I have played this course. First time was a year or so ago and I must say that the course is in much better shape than it was the last time I played. Fairways are beautiful and greens are rolling well. It’s a little bit of an easier course so it makes for a fun day for those who are above average golfers. There are some really neat holes as well. It is definitely a bargain for the price as well as most courses around stl have gotten quite expensive.

Sugar Creek is BACK!

Anyone in the St. Louis area knows Sugar Creek fell on some hard times the past couple years. a grass fungus completely destroyed the greens, fairways were not maintained, and overall the course became unplayable.

Well, I am happy to report that Sugar Creek is BACK! The work the crew has done to this course is nothing short of amazing. They have literally brought this course back from the dead. The greens were a little slow, but some of the best greens I have played on this golf season. The fairways were nice, rough was fine. The only complaint was that the cart paths really need some work, but their EXTREMLY nice staff (who gave us free found balls) told us that is the net major project on their list.

If you used to play here but then just couldn't handle the "bad times", well those are over and this course is a definite play. Don't sleep on Sugar Creek!
