Sugar Creek Golf Course
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.

Course has been go
The conditions were well below standards. Fairways were in bad shape and the rough was very overgrown. Weeds in the fairways and very poor greens. The value was good, but the savings didn't warrant spending an afternoon of our time.
Beware.. Poor value.
Weeds everywhere, mole trails on greens and bare areas. Tees in poor condition and over grown. $34.. Your kidding me, right? Overall poor service, no water on course and beverage carts are minimal.
Warning.. Poor Value
Bad greens, tees and service. Carts break down consistently.. Poor management.. Maintenance workers drive around the course without respect for golfers. Also, the greens mowed and cups changed about once a week. No consideration to collars or bunkers.. That's why it's known as, "Sugar Ditch"....
Good value
The course overall was in good shape.
The greens we're great and very consistent .
Tight fairways a good challenge even though its short.
Well worth the money
Headed in right direction
I had read reviews before I went so I knew that new management had taken over recently and were supposedly doing work to the course but even with all the work it still was a decent course. It still has a ways to go but they are clearly doing what needs to be done. The greens were in great condition. The course is pretty hilly but when the work gets done it looks to be a beautiful course
Love the course layout but this course is in real bad shape. Tee boxes and fairways are horrible as are most greens.

I know we had alot of rain but...
Some sides of fairways being resodded.
Not awarded for hitting fairways. Many with just grass clumps.
Some greens rough.
Some bunkers just mud.
People were nice but the course was in the worst condition I have ever seen a golf course in!
People were nice but the course was in the worst condition I have ever seen a golf course in! costs should be less then $20 as its a really tough course to enjoy with the shapes its in. Plus there is trash littered all over the place and it dosnt look like the course has been cleaned up for years. You will find empty shot-gunned beers in the woods on about half the tee boxes. Pretty bad.
Rough Shape
The course, while interesting in its layout, was in really bad shape. The tee boxes were barren, the fairways were mostly weedpatches. The greens were heavily sanded and aerated, so not fantastic, but they should be pretty good when the weather gets better. But, all in all, this course was in rough shape. And the pace of play the day we went was painfully slow - one of the slowest rounds I have ever play in St. Louis.
the coarse is just terrible
i don`t think this coarse should charge anyone to play i think they should pay golfers to come there very very dissatified
This is a course with great potential The back nine is especially scenic. Tight fairways.
Only the T side monuments are in great shape. The cart paths are crumbling. Fairways are a mixture of weed, bare spots and grass. Bunkers are Missouri compacted mud and sand. T boxes are mostly weed. It had been some years since I played here and was hoping for improvements. Maybe next decade
This course needs a lot of attention to it's fairways and greens.
I had just begun to play golf a little over 2 years ago and have found this course a good deal being cheap and readily available.
I have been to this course several times in the past 2 years and it has been in much better shape off and on.
However on 4/14/13 the greens and fairways were extremely dry and bare. The course was going thru some maintenance work and aeration of the greens, making putting difficult.
The staff are always friendly and helpfull whether on the course or in the clubhouse.
Not sure I can call it a golf course...
It's hard to identify the difference between the fairway and rough. They are in the process of repairing holes 1-4 which involved re-sodding almost the entire fairway. Houses sit right on top of this course, so generally OB with very little room to the right and creeks to the left and surrounding greens. I wouldn't play again.
I was one of the first groups out so played through 1 group and then had free reign; was able to play in 2.5 hours so made it bearable.
This course is in terrible condition
The course reflects years of neglect. Grass was either not present or unkempt. Gravel and rocks in the fairway, cart paths broken and crumbled beyond repair. The community lawns were in better condition than the tee boxes. We paid a super-low price and were still very disappointed. The course could be really nice if they invest some time, money and TLC.
sodding the day we where there.
Course needs some major work. Paths,fairways etc..Greens in good condition.
not sure how to make slide rule work
Course had a lot of construction on it. The greens were in better shape than early in 2012.
Good value for January
Given a lot of rain the day before and temps in the upper 60's with some wind, the course was in decent shape for mid January in St Louis. Course was a little squishy in places, but no visible standing water. Some construction along the side of the first two holes but after that, clear sailing. A great deal for $10!
great December day
The course was as you might expect in December.. It is very sloping with not many flat lies. Greens are challenging with cups set in difficult placements (again due to the contours of the geography). I played with 3 members who were hospitable and helpful. Would have been a different round without local knowledge
Great Fun at Sugar Creek
I went there to play the day before Thanksgiving and found a very nice course with great staff. Lot of fun before Thanksgiving.
Great Elevation Changes
All in all we had a good time. There are some really great elevation changes on this course. The greens were in pretty good shape for Nov. (except for the 18th, it really needs work)
