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.

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!

Awesome layout. Great for gettin out with friends for cheap

Love the layout of this course. The greens are typically slower than most but roll true. Wont always have the best lie but it’s very short so a good tee shot makes this course easy to score on. I recommend this course for the amateur players gettin out with your buddies drink a beer and enjoy the views for a very low price. Not recommended for mid to low handicappers that are looking for something long and challenging

St. Louis Golf

Although this course isn’t very close to St. Louis, it has a great scenic view through all 18 holes. One hole you can see the St. Louis Arch in the skyline which is my favorite part about the course.

The overall layout is great to play on, you rarely have other groups playing next to you. A lot of up and down play makes for a challenging round. The course looks amazing in the summer time & is my favorite course near me (Ballwin)

Very Underrated Course

First time playing, I was happily surprised. You can tell they’ve put in a good effort to update the course conditions. Still has its rough spots, but good overall. The layout is unique and fun. Super friendly staff.

Also, don’t let the “walking” fool you; they have carts for an additional $10 in the clubhouse (and you’ll need them because it’s hilly). Not sure why GolfNow only lists walking tee times.

Great Value

This is a great golf course for the price you pay. This was my first time playing this course and I was very impressed by the condition and the scenery of the golf course. Also it only has walking on this app however it is $10 more for cart if you would want one.

Sugar Creek = best course for it’s value

This course is absolutely beautiful in the hills of High Ridge, MO! With a great combination of large fairways and challenging elevation changes this course is a fun challenge for all skill levels, and for an incredible value of just $28! Even after it raining for 3 days, the greens were in great condition! Friendly staff awaits you on this hidden gem in St. Louis!

Great course getting even better

This course is a far cry from what it was a few years ago. The first time I golfed there was 3 years ago...believe when it just went under new ownership and it was in rough shape. I’ve golfed this course 3-4 times a year since as it it very close and it gets better every time. The new owners have turned it around and continue to make it better.

The layout is awesome too. Several breathtaking view shots. If you’ve never been it’s worth the trip. If you’ve been before and it was crap, give it another go.
