Today round

Pace of play horrible. Multiple grips on each tee box. Fairways not much grass. Tee boxes need work. Greens best part of course.

Course is in great shape

The course was in great shape. Greens were good, tee boxes weren’t chewed up, and even with new sand getting put in, the course was in great shape.

Still Over Priced

The course is coming along. Still think its overpriced and especially for this time of year. Pace of paly was what I thought it would be. They packed the course because of the rare nice weather which I understand. If your going to make my 2some into a 4some then you should have done that to every group and maybe the pace would have picked up a bit. 5 hrs. and 15 min. is to long. We'll see again after the spring greenup if the fairways are coming along as good as the bunkers

Muddy Day

I was a single and the starter was very kind and let me start on the back since it was empty. I flew through that 9 in just over an hour. This side's layout and conditions were much better than the front. Fun design and decent shape for February. I can't say the same about the front. The layout was boring at first and then turned a little questionable 5-8. Also, it is a 5 minute cart drive from the clubhouse to the first tee... nothing wrong with that, but notable nonetheless. The greens all around were very nice given the circumstances. I bet they are very nice in the late spring/early summer. I would play here again w/ a good price like I paid $21 w/ cart. Hole #8 needs some work. It isn't even playable and doesn't look like a golf hole. Long Par 4 up the hill with trees everywhere and the "fairway" is 10 yards wide (exaggerated).

Overpriced/Not worth the money

Me and my group of friends have been playing this course for a while now. It’s our go to course ever since Pomme/Arnold Golf Club shut down. We only keep coming back for its location. There are much nicer courses in the St. Louis area for the price. Save your money and play a nicer course.

This course needs lots of attention.

I have played here many times over the past several years. I had hoped with the new ownership/management that the condition of the fairways and greens would have improved but they have gone the opposite conditon. We will not be playing here in the near future.

Scenic and refreshing

Took a private tour around the property with Tom, great guy and very informative. Was at the end of fall season so naturally the grass was turning but greens were in great shape. Wife and I have played about six rounds since. Can’t wait for summer season! The grounds and layout are beautiful. Waiting to take advantage of outdoor pavilions and fishing with grandson, also the amazing water park. The staff is very friendly, we had lunch outside with view of Mississippi River. I know where our family will be spending are free time.

Thank you, Oak Valley
