Sugar Creek Golf Course

Golf course needs A LOT of help. Played here on 9/6, and was throughly disappointed. Not sure how was this was named “Golf Course of the Year”.

Played early on a Friday and the snack bar wasn't open, which is NOT GOOD. If the course is open you should make the amenities available! BIG MISS

I haven’t played here in a while, but the little bit of progress they were making with the course a couple years ago is completely gone. They do not have grass on half of the tee boxes and that continues throughout the rest of the course, including the greens. The majority of the course is dirt and weeds.

Carts and cart paths are still rough at best. This has to be one of the worst courses in the St. Louis area. It’s a shame because this course has some fun holes.

I understand the course gets wear and tear during the year, but I shouldn't have to use a nail to get my tee in. The course had improved so much the last few years and now it's going back to what it was. And I don't appreciate the way one of the maintenance man talked to us about being on the fairway that no one said we couldn't be. I have come here for the last 7years but not anymore.

I had played this course a couple times prior to COVID. Forgot how challenging the course is with narrow fairways and elevation changes.

The fairways were rough in parts and the greens were beat up, fixing a ball mark is an afterthought. Many greens had dead spots on the green or places where it was just mud. The course is not worth $57-65 that they charge, it is worth around $35-40 that it was prior to COVID.

The staff and maintenance crew were friendly and helpful, but the course needs work.

Course was probably in the worst shape of any I've played this year. I hadn't played here in a couple of years so I thought I'd give it another try. I now remember why I stayed away. Almost all the tee boxes were bare and hard as a rock. Bring a hammer to pound your tee in. Most of the fairways are pretty narrow with crappy grass, but the worst part is pretty much all of them are OB on either side, so you are screwed if you leave the fairway.Many of the fairways have severe dropoffs on either side, so if your ball dribbles to the side, it's gone. Greens didn't roll true in my opinion. I won't be back.

Course needs a lot of water. Tee boxes are bare and hard as a rock. Cart paths are dangerous at best. I’ll be back, but hopefully course gets some rain.z

Fairways are little sparse, but not a bad course for the price.

If you go to Sugar Creek's website, they will tell you that they have installed new cart paths, that the tee boxes have been upgraded and that the course was rated the best in St. Louis by KMOX. I can't speak for KMOX though it would be interesting to learn which year the review took place. The course was in terrible shape. The cart paths were broken or non-existant, the tee boxes were either bare or weed infested, and the fairways lacked consistent grass to hit an iron shot. Pace of play was an issue as a number of guests are either new to golf or unskilled. Sugar Creek has a fun layout but is always in poor shape.

Don’t know who is rating Sugar Creek four and five stars but that ain’t it. I truly want/wish the course was better as it is a fun layout to play. The fact it is $45 on weekdays and $55 on weekends is crazy as it is nowhere near that price point for the conditions.

The greens were in adequate shape given how hot and dry it has been. However, there were so many deep and unrepaired ball marks, and that doesn’t help. The tee boxes were poor and not level. The fairways were equally bad while the rough was in horrible shape. Just don’t head there expecting super nice conditions.
