Needs gold tees for seniors.

This course is just too long and difficult from the white tees for seniors. Need something between whites and reds. Maybe about 5,700 yds. Course and greens in great shape.

Tale of two nines

The front nine is a simple muny layout that is poorly marked. My gps ran out of power on hole two so I guessed my way around. Now the back nine is a treat .If the entire course was laid out like the back nine I would group it with Annbriar. Cart paths need work.Worth the drive

Nice course.

On two visits we found that the course offered us different challenges due to the rolling terrain. We will play there again.

Nice course for the money.

At an average price of $22 on golfnow.com this is a great little course. We got stuck in the middle of a shotgun tournament in the front 9, which was a bit obnoxious due to lack of golf etiquette from the group but from 10 on was smoothe sailing. The only real maintenance problem was the cart path, bumpy as all get out, I don't like spilling my beer!

Fairways and Greens were very well maintained.

Course was in wonderful shape. Challenging, but not impossible. Greens were in excellent condition. Would definitely recommend taking the short drive down to play this course.

Very good local semi-public golf course

I have been playing at this course for many years ,lately course is well maintained ,become more enjoyable course. First 9 holes are relatively easy to play, but back 9 holes are more difficult to play.Fee is inexpensive and valued to compared to other course. You may get deal by visiting to golfnow.com.If you play once you will come back again

Cart paths only really slowed down the pace of play. But I understood based on recent weather.

Pro shop staff seemed a little disorganized.
Distance to first tee from pro shop may cause some of those issues.
Food service staff was same way. Food was served hot. Staff was courteous. Just seemed to be missing direction.
I will be back when weather conditions allow for a bettor pace of play.

bad timing

The greens had recently been punched and many of the approach areas were being punched the day I played this course. I liked the layout, the staff was very friendly, and the course offered plenty of risk/reward.

All around great experience

Nice little course out in the hills of Missouri. Don't expect this course to be an upscale country club. Pulls in a variety of individuals. Front 9 is a little plain and not too exciting while the Back 9 was a great experience. I walked the course and do not suggest it unless you are just playing the front 9, which is still a challenge.

Course was in great condition and played true. Played slow but they had a marshal out there who was pushing people along which is nice to see. Great staff too.

Will be back!

Frequent Player here

Union Hills is definitely a shotmakers course. It doesn't play long but the fairways, especially on the back nine are pretty narrow. I play there often and you can see the course shaping up now that Walters Golf is managing it. The course still needs work but it is really coming together.

The front nine has two really fun par 5s that are great birdie opportunities and the 9th hole par 3 is really a fun hole. I will continue to play this as my primary course because it has a 130 slope which is challenging and the Golfnow deals of under 20.00 makes it a great value

The course was in great shape!

Back 9 was tough, greens gave me some problems and some holes were narrow. But overall this was a really fun course, and can't beat the price. I paid $14.50 to play 18!

Long course in transitional condition.

They appear to be doing a lot of work to the course. When it is done it will be very good. Not bad by any means now. If your in the area you should play there.

greens need work

greens are half poa anna grass and half bent grass. poa anna grows fasters than bent grass. if you don't mow the greens daily, you have uneven greens. i played late afternoon, and clearly, the ball does not roll evenly, it actually zig zags.
