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.

Totally different place than it used to be!

New owner is really working hard to turn that place around, some of the greens still need just a little bit of work, but overall an awesome course. Course by itself is interesting and challenging with all types of holes, will definitely keep you entertained!

Good value. Course improving.

The greens are in very good shape. A little shaggy this time of year, to be expected. PLEASE repair your ball marks.

Fairways and tees need work next. The zoysia parts are in good shape, but kind of sparse in areas.

First time playing this course in many years. As others have noted, the management is making a concerted effort to fix many years of neglect. Keep up the good work.

Nice layout. A lot of elevation changes. Pretty forgiving course. Nice scenery throughout.

Undeniable improvement

Huge improvement just within one season. New management definitely working hard to improve course conditions. Played on a Wednesday and about half the holes were being actively worked on in some capacity (as you should expect midweek); the workers were aware of golfers and did not cause disruption. Owner introduced himself and asked for our feedback.

I would encourage others to take advantage of the still competitive rates while available in order to gauge the progress for themselves. I'm not saying there isnt work to be done, but credit where credit is due. They are trying to correct previous management's problems.

Great Value and Setup

This course has come a long way under new ownership. Greens have drastically improved throughout season. Like the setup with lots of elevation differences and a mix of challenging holes with ones you can go after. One of the best values in St Louis region and only expect course conditions to continue to improve. Would recommend giving it a try if you haven't.

Fun course

Fun course to play. Get a mix of flat open holes and then some holes are very hilly. At the turn I met the owner, and he along with his staff were very nice and appreciative. I would recommend playing here, when you get a chance. This is my third time, and the new owner is improving/maintaining the course.

Hard work paying off

I have been playing here for years. Before the new management took over the course was in rough shape. Over the past couple years this course has improved dramatically. The greens were outstanding , the fairways were clean, and the pace was good just very busy. I will continue to golf here!!

Progressively better

A work in progress. New ownership has made changes for the better over last few years. Greens have made huge strides. With continued care, a lot of potential for a good local course. Looking forward to see it in its prime next summer. Very friendly staff.

Definitely Worth Checking Out!

Sugar Creek is in the best shape I've seen for years! They continue making big improvements to the course, including recent smoothing, vertislicing and overseeding the greens, which all rolled beautifully & looked nearly perfect. It also looked like the practice green was being completely redone. (Now it would be great if golfers helped keep the greens nice by fixing their own ball marks! I played behind a foursome of "members" who didn't fix one ball mark all day.) I recommend Sugar Creek to people all the time because I really do think it's a fun and challenging golf course that you can play for a good price.

Sugar Creek...A sweet experience

First time playing the course and I cant wait to get back out there. I generally do not care for course that are in valleys, but from the scenery to the challenging layout of some of the holes....Sugar Creek offers some challenges and some rewards for finding the fairways. You can tell the new owner is putting some TLC into the course and I look forward to playing again.

Great staff and proud of ownership

I played alone since it was a day off for me and none of my buddies couldn't get off work today. Hot deal tee time through GN and played the first half myself and the back 9 with elderly gentleman.

One of the staff on the field was super nice and friendly. Found out he is the onwer of the course. Never seen any course owners working on the field himself and taking care things. That's a great proud of ownership.

Course is little short but lay outs are interesting. Had a great practice round. I will be back.

Coming along

I’ve played this course a few times over the past two years and it is steadily becoming better. Most the of the tee boxes were open and the greens were okay but much better than they were last summer. Fairways are actually really nice minus the bare patch or two. If they continue the work, this will turn out to be a nice course.

Great turn around

I played this course a couple years ago and it was in terrible shape. They have done a great job under the new ownership. There are still some things need work, but definitely worth playing here.

Much improved!

It had been a while since I had played this course because the previous ownership/management group had let it get into a state of Ill repair. But I believe in second chances, so I went back again today with my father in law and we had a great time. The pace of play was great, the staff was friendly and professional, and you can clearly tell that they are pouring a lot of time and effort into getting this place back into shape and it already shows. If you haven’t been back here in a while like me, give them another chance, the new ownership group has this place headed in the right direction.
