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.

Give it a chance.

There’s been a lot of negative comments about this course, but I can tell the owners have really turned this course around. I told myself after the first time I played it 3 years ago I would never be back. I took a chance the other day and played it again.

The course is not perfect and it does have a quirky layout, but the greens were in great shape as were the fairways. I had a great time and look forward to playing it again.

WOW - Improved Bigtime!

The course has always been a fun layout with lots of dimension and very playable. But they have really improved the conditioning and have made it even more playable for average golfers like me.

Disrespect

After 9 holes no waiting as had tournament earlierso course wide open but when teed off on 10 someone playing it, when ready to tee on 11 waited 5 minutes and still weren't done, so finished my round. Totally lack of respect allowing someone to start on 10 not 1! Thought about joining won't be back!

A lot of unrealized potential

Three stand-outs:

Pace of play was slowest I have ever encountered - nearly 5.5 hours to finish on a Sunday afternoon.

Multiple times 2 groups waiting on tees.

Second, the the tee boxes were the worst I have encountered on any course (public of private). No grass and hard as concrete. Gave up trying to put a tee peg in several times.

Third - the cart paths are in dire need of repair apart from only a few places where asphalt has recently been replaced. A bone-shaking ride.

It’s a shame because the course is pretty and a good challenge (tight/blind fairway shots). Has a lot of potential. The staff were also very friendly.

Greens are like shag carpet

Can’t get myself to hit a put hard enough. I get trying to protect the greens, but for f sake cut them once in a while. Makes playing miserable especially for a 5+ hour round.

Great Course

This could be one of the best courses for the price in the STL area. A few tee boxes are chewed up but greens and fairways are perfect. Worth every penny to play here!
