One of the Best Values in town

Fairways and greens are in good condition with green speeds average to quick. Very classic layout with many dog-legs and elevation changes. In my opinion, this course is a hidden gem and is one of the best values in town.

The course was in great shape

We were about as hot as could be since it was in the mid 90's but the course was in great shape. The grounds crew has done a fabulous job keeping up with the heat even though the summer weather has just begun. It was so hot (along with a boil order for Pevely) that the Marshall was riding around handing out water. Can't wait to go back!

Good deal all around

Using a GolfNow discount, this was a very good deal. We were sent out on back 9 because of a youth event and that worked well for us. Moved along nicely. When we came around for front 9 it was more crowded, but the pace was still decent.

Course staff was very friendly, the food at the turn was great (recommend the roast beef), and the course was in great shape. Being new to the course, there are some shots we could have done better if we knew our way. But overall you hit it well and you are rewarded. Hit it badly and you can find trouble. Bunkers were a real mix of decent sand and some just raked dirt.

Great course for the price

I've played this course a couple times. Has some very nice holes and some great Par 5s. As my father says "You'll love the front 9, and curse the back 9."

Well kept course

Front nine has great diversity which leads into a bit more challenging back nine. Staff were very professional , club house was clean. The only thing it lacked is a driving range to warm up on, although the practice green located just behind first tee box was perfect while waiting for your Tee time.

Good course

This is a good course. A few of the greens were under construction which was a bit inconvenient but overall is a well maintained course. Will definitely come back.

A great value for the money!

Chick and his people have done a fine job of getting the course ready for play this year. Greens are in excellent shape!!! Tees are better than most courses I have played, and I have played almost all of them. Can't wait to play here again.

could be better

Staff couldn't check us in. Took 1/2 hour. Half the patrons in tee shirts and cargo shorts. Greens not mowed the day we played. When we finished at 6:30 pro shop and bathrooms locked. Yardage markers would be helpful. Course could be good with a little work.

Nice course

This is one of those courses that you have to know where you are going to hit the proper shot. Some holes you need to keep the driver in the bag.

Good for the price

The course is a very pretty, relaxing layout. Greens are very slow but rolled nicely. I recommend this course if you're looking for a decent test. Your tee ball is very key.

Tree lover's delight

lots of tree lined fairways,which I like, nice views, no houses played on Sunday and pace of play was good. only complaint is that in a couple places as you are driving cart path towards your green you are in direct line of fire from people on next hole tee box
