Not Much….BUT

I keep coming back 🤪

This is a nice course. It could more challenging if the greens were faster. They look great but most the time I felt I needed to put with my 3W. Jk

It’s a fair price and a nice layout.

I’ll be back, again.

Much Improved

Played this course a couple of years ago and it was not good. They have done a lot of work on it and it is beautiful now. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in excellent shape.

Pretty good

Half the course was soft and the other half was hard as a rock. Most of the greens were actually in great condition. The blue tee boxes were in great condition compared to the white team boxes. Overall a great round of golf.

Second Worse Course in St. Louis

This course is in pitiful shape. Fairways and tees are basically all dirt. I play with a member for $20.00 but not anymore. The greens are extremely slow, the cart paths are like riding on a motocross track due to rocks, holes, torn up old asphalt. They do nothing to upgrade the golf course. On some holes there is more cloverleaf than grass and you have to move the ball 5 or ten yards to put it on grass. I will not play it again even if there is no charge. And the ground is so hard, your club bounces off of it and impossible to take a divot. Half the time I am afraid I will bust the shaft on my club.

Horrible condition

Course is in horrible shape at the moment. Fairways are 90% dirt. Grass is not maintained at all it seems like. Rough is basically overgrown tall grass. Greens are slow and not trimmed down. Right now the course should be worth $20 with how it plays. Used to enjoy the course but now cannot fathom spending $50 to play on this course that isn’t maintained.

Als' terrible slice not the course's fault.

It was a beautiful day to play. The course was in good shape, as usual. The wind kicked up a little later in the round. I really like this course. I would put it on par with most courses in the St. Louis metro area. My playing partner did complain the Carts need to be governed a little quicker... LOL! I would recommend Oak Valley to all who ask.
