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.

Great Course. Great Staff. Great Price

I've played this course 3 times in the last month.

The staff are incredibly nice, the pace of play is pretty good, the course conditions are great and ever-improving, and for the money you won't find a better value in the STL area.

Would highly recommend checking out Sugar Creek!

Decent

I think it is improving, but I think it is still a year or two out from being worth playing. Fairways have grass, but also a lot of weeds and crabgrass, and they aren’t real thick. The greens look good from the course, until you get on them. They are very furry, slow, and bumpy. Luckily they have it priced decent, but I think it would be worth paying an extra 10 or 15 to go to a nicer course until they make some more improvements.

Now one of my favorite courses to play

Don't let the current 2.5 rating fool you - the condition of Sugar Creek has come a long way from where it was when it actually deserved 2.5 stars. The grounds crew has done a great job to improve course conditions and playability. Fairways and greens were all in great shape. Pace of play was what can be expected on the 4th of July, but is usually very smooth. This week I noticed that a few greens had some repaired areas with new sod, and the greens on 6 and 18 have been fully repaired and re-opened, making your finishing hole a lot more fun! I now consider Sugar Creek to be one of my most favorite courses to play because of its challenging but fun layout, greatly improved conditions, good pace of play, friendly laid-back staff and very playable course conditions, which get better each time I play there. There is little chance of hitting any houses or cars with golf balls, so you can rip your shots and the worst that can happen is that you lose a few balls. I always bring some extra balls when I play Sugar Creek because I tend to lose a few in the woods that line many of the fairways. Give Sugar Creek another shot and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Course is coming together

Course is coming together. Fairways are in great condition. Rough needs a trim along with cart paths. Greens need cut more often and repaired. But overall a great experience!

Under new management

You can’t beat the price, the staff is super friendly! New ownership is putting in some work to make the course better! Saw the owner several times today pointing out things he expected to be fixed! I will most definitely be playing here again!

Good Value

Some of the holes are a little quirky but never boring. Course is in good shape and it is a great value for the cost. It wasn't crowded and we enjoyed the round.

Making improvements

Course was in fair condition. Greens 6 and 18 were under repair, but that was made aware to us at the clubhouse so no biggie. Fairways could have used a mow, but not horrible. Greens too were a little long and patchy in spots, but again not horrible for the price paid. They seem to be working on the greens so that's good. Neat course with some pretty cool holes. Will play again for sure.

Great hospitality at this course. Staff is very friendly and definitely improved the course itself with green adjustments, and patchy grass control. Definitely recommend this course for a fun round of golf

Great Value and Experience

This was our first time playing Sugar Creek and we will go back. Everyone at the clubhouse and on the course was friendly and professional. We talked with several people on the course and they mentioned significant improvements have been made to the condition of the course in the last year. They are still working on two of the greens, but that was a minor impact to the overall round.

My wife and I play for fun, maybe 3-4 rounds per year. It may not be the longest or most difficult course, but there is variety across the holes and they even have a concessions cart out on the course. To play 18 holes with a cart for $20.00 on a course that is in much better condition than some that we have paid $30+ to play, this is a great value and an enjoyable round of golf.

Terrible course conditions

Idk where to start. Yes it’s only 20$ but I would rather go to the range an spend 20$ on buckets then golf here again. There is no difference between the rough an the “fairways”. Multiple greens are not even half way decent surfaces to put on. An I mean bad. There was 2 holes that were under maintence which the flags were in the middle of the fairways with spray paint outlined as the Green. Which I get needed maintnce but the whole course needs it. There was a fairway with dirt an rocks in the middle of the fairway!! I mean comon you guys have a golf course an can’t even maintain it enough to have dirt patches in the fairways!! And rocks!! I didn’t even finish my round I payed 20$ for 9 holes which had some under maintenance. The staff was friendly I will give them that. An at the end of the round said that they were tryin to make it better. But I feel like they should get the golf course right an in shape atleast good enough to make playable before they even let anyone golf there an take their 20$ I will never be back an will never reffer anyone there. Was amazed with how bad it was
