Terrible Condition

We play this course numerous times pre year. This year is their worst yet for fairway condition. Greens were just average.

Golf Now cost was $68 weekend midday. Definitely not worth that price. Especially when Acorns and Annbriar are lower price but superior courses.

Course Super is rude and acts like he doesn’t even want you on his course.

Saddening how this course has gone down hill this year. ‘Cause it’s closest to my house.

Oak Valley

First time playing Oak Valley. I will play better next time knowing more how the course plays. Many hills which leads to blind shots. The Marshall had to get two foursomes moving that was causing a three group back-up on the tee box. This was during the week. Greens roll true and will test your putting skills. We will be back!

Great staff

Staff was extremely helpful. Told the man in the pro shop I had broken my driver the night before and he went out of his way to go look for an old one in the shed I could borrow. They didn’t have any extras but I still appreciated the thought. Had to skip in front of a slow group but everything else was great.

Very fun course

Had a blast with my buddy on this course yesterday. Quality staff, Marshall was very cool. Really enjoyed the whole course, but absolutely loved the back 9. Looking forward to many more rounds at this beautiful course!

WANT A CHALLENGE?

This course offers some of the most challenging fairways and greens in the south STL area. This course is in great early spring condition especially after an overnight and early morning rain. Greens are in fantastic condition and unforgiving. Club house is awesome and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I really enjoy playing Oak Valley and it never lets me and my friends down. Always a challenge!!!

Highly recommend Oak Valley GC!!!

Worst cart paths ever!

Hey, it’s winter! Yardage markers are here and there, greens in tough shape, zoysia grass all brown and won’t hold the ball but otherwise it was only $15.00. Thanks tee off!
