Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

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.

Glad to see that this course is coming back into condition. Looking forward to playing it next year.

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.

Played 12/8/2020. Beautiful day on a beautiful course.

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

Great layout. Conditions are always improving. Staff is excellent from the pro shop to the restaurant, from the starter to the marshall. Play here a couple of times a month and is always enjoyable.

Course is improving daily. The layout is exceptional.

Course continually improves now with white sand bunkers. They need to work on getting yardage markers! Can easily become 5 stars with the improvements they are making!

check in was a breeze--- marshall was very helpful went out of his way to talk to all of us -- greens great---been going out to this course for years --see improvement ever time out

Pros:

- Secluded location. No houses or yards to worry about.

- Nice scenery.

- Layout offered a challenge without being merciless.

Cons:

- Very, very dry. Many balls were lost in the woods on drives that landed on the fairway only to take a bad hop on the concrete-like dirt in unexpected ways.

- $9 for a brat and a Gatorade at the turn is absurd.

- The greens were very dry as well, making them very hard to approach.

Overall:

Definitely not worth the $45 and 50 minute drive to play. There are better kept courses for the same amount of money up north for less. The location is awesome and the layout was intriguing, but the fairways and greens are just too dry to enjoy it.

Horrible dirt and washed out gullys instead of grass even in fairways. Paid online it said hot deal 41.00 at checkout charged me 48.00 scam ,had to pay up front ,paid for 4, then one guy couldn't make it , they could care less wont give you any money back scam ,stay away ,any 30.00 course is in better shape.

The course is challenging and a little unforgiving for someone who plays bogey. Overall, the course is good, and I’ll play it again.

i very much like the over all experience. my only complaint was the pace of play was very slow. needed a little more marshalling and perhaps some combining of groups. the physical condition of the course was very good. fairways and greens in great shape. the change of elevations was quite challenging which I also like. will definitely return .

The back nine is a lot of fun to play.......and challenges you.

Course will be good once they fix all of the back 9 samd traps

overall a good course and a value for the money. The only complaint is put in a 100 yard post. There is a red marker buried in the fairway.. This course is difficult to judge distance with lack of visible markers. I can't imagine a wooden post being more than $10.!
