Sugar Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

You Get What You Pay For
The price was right: $21 (with a cart) on the weekend. The course layout is interesting, too. Lots of up and down, some doglegs, water. The downside is that the course is not well maintained. The fairways were spotty, the greens were really slow, and the bunkers were not raked. The have a good selection of beers at cheap prices on the 19th hole.
Not Good
The course is poorly maintained with poorly cut fairways with high grass/weeds along edges of fairways. Chances of finding your ball in rough along fairways was slim. I lost at least 9 balls that should have been playable shots and found at least 20 balls. Sand traps were sand less with weeds growing.
We're sorry to hear your experience wasn't great. We are constantly working on improving the conditions of the course. You can email me directly at alexisteetimes@gmail.com and we would like to offer you a promo code to come back out.
Will play again!
The course layout is great! Some really fun par threes. Although some holes were tight on the right side of the fairway due to housing. This course has a lot of elevation change but also some flat holes. The biggest issue was the cart paths, they were the worst I had seen. But it looked like some reconstruction plans were in the works. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely play this course again, could beat the price. I've paid more to play on worse.
We offer great tee time specials online so be sure to check our facebook or website for specials! We are working on improving the course conditions, including the cart paths. Hope to see you again!
Greens better, BUT TOO SLOW
Course in much better shape than years past.. However, to get to the next level and make it a place people will return. Tees need to be level and the fairways and rough require maintainence on a more consistent schefule. Also, the greens are way... Too Slow.. Takes the enjoyment out of the course and prevents a player from scoring. Staff is very friendly and believe the new management is making positive changes. If they could just mow the greens every weekend and keep them rolling above a 7 it would be a great area to focus and will bring people back.. Tees and Greens are the challenges they face to make this a spot in Jefferson County that folks will frequent.
Thank you for your feedback! We are headed in the right direction with making some significant changes to the course. We hope to see you again soon!
Like course but fairways and t-boxes subpar
I always liked this course but given the cool weather and adequate rain we've had recently, I was surprised the course wasn't in better shape. Lots of sparse grass on the fairways and the red t-boxes were not in good shape. I would play the course again and hope for better course conditions.
Thank you for the feedback! We've been doing consistent maintenance to keep the course in good shape.
Great course for the price
I have played this course numerous times over the last 6-7 years and it is definitely in the best shape it has ever been in. The greens are in great shape, the driving range is now open and they bought new golf carts not too long ago also. Highly reccomend and there are some neat up and down hill holes that can be challenging as well.
Thanks for the nice review! We've been doing a lot of maintenance and are working to get the course in the best shape possible! Come back and see us!
Friendly staff and a challenging course
This course had some challenging holes that were fun to play. I would recommend this course.
Absolutely Horrible!!!!
Having not played this course in a while, I was shocked. I used to really love playing here, not today. If you play here you are wasting money. Mud, terrible cart path, fairways in horrific shape. The only thing nice about today was the weather. I hope things change soon!
Tough course conditions could be
Condition of the cat path was poor, but it is early season to judge. Very challenging course
We are working on the course conditions from the harsh winter and the rain we got in April!
lots of mud, no grass
There is hardly any grass anywhere in the course.
The fairways were not only for many, there were no good spots anywhere on the course to place your ball. Maybe in the summer, grass will come in, but for March and April, not going to happen
Sorry to hear your experience was not the best! We hope you come back again and give us another shot.
Billy goat mountain
Dont walk because you will want to leave before the back nine....we did
We're sorry for the mis-communication. We typically don't offer a walking rate on the weekends since we are the highest point in all of St. Louis. We would like to make this right and offer you another round, for just the greens fee. Please email me directly so we can get your information. Alexisteetimes@gmail.com
Double Booked Course was packed
Staff was rude and clueless. Course was so busy it was horrible. 5 1/2 hr for a round. My 1st time there. Worst cart paths I've ever seen on a golf course. Course was half dead, no grass on tees, fairways all brown and muddy, dead spots on greens. Yea it was cheep and maybe that's why. Id rather pay a little more and go to a course that's in better shape. Stay away from this place. No GOOD!!!
We are very sorry to hear your experience was not up to par. There were some double booking issues but that is no excuse and we want you to enjoy your round! Please email me directly for a promo code to be used at Sugar Creek. Again, we'd like to make this right. Alexisteetimes@gmail.com
Double Booked Course was packed
Paid a decent rate to play with 3 of my friends. We get to the clubhouse and after talking to the guy behind the counter, which was very rude, he told us there was an issue with online tee times and they were double booked. The course was soaking wet so we were on carts on paths. The paths were the worst cart paths Ive ever seen. Horriable and dangerous. Besides that the play was so slow it took us over 5 1/2 hrs to play 18 holes. Course wasn't in the best shape either. Dead grass everywhere, no grass on tees and dead spots on greens. My friends and I will not be back and the only reason we played was because it was cheep. Even if they paid us to play we still wouldn't come. Many of courses in the area that are a lot better!!!!!
Hi there, we are so sorry you had a bad experience at the course. Yes, we did have some double booking issues which caused pace of play to be very slow. We are so sorry that it was not an enjoyable round but that is not the type of service we offer. Please email me directly at alexisteetimes@gmail.com for a promo code to be used on your next round! We want you to come back and love your round!
Fairways and following greens
Just played 18 holes in what might be the best value in St. Louis.fairways and greens in excellent shape.the layout is unique,with some uphill tee shots and 1 blind tee off that drops onto the green below.
Great prices
My biggest complaint are the tee boxes most are in awful shape and you can't expect a smooth putt on most of the greens. But I've played here quite a bit and like the layout and elevation of some holes
Golf on the Cheap
If your looking to get out and play a cheap round of golf, then Sugar Creek is a good course. $19 bucks to pay 18. Not Bad!!!
I play the course maybe 1 or 2 times per year and it has never been in great condition. The greens were pretty bumpy and some of the fairways were in pretty bad shape. That being said, we have not had much rain as of late.
If your looking for country club golf.... Do not play Sugar Creek.
Glad I come back
Haven't played in years, and thought it would close,, but it's much better than when I last played. Very challenging with small landing areas so don't get carried away. I will definitely come back. I give the grounds crew kudos for making the course very nice. It used to be very rocky. Now, the Bermuda & zoyia has grown in & it's in great shape.
Well kept Course
This course is in great shape,. I was impressed with how green the fairways and the greens were with the lack of rain we have . I will definitely play here again soon, this course is very doable for the beginner golfer. The price was great as well. Thanks Golfnow.com
We do offer the best rates online so be sure to check our facebook and website often! We are working on improving the conditions of the course and hope you will give us another shot!
