Missouri Bluffs Golf Club

As the temperature hit 75 degrees December 2nd there were a lot of golfers out. Play was a little slow but not terrible as everyone kept the pace up. The course was in incredible shape for December. Fairways and greens were immaculate.

I moved to California in 2001, but always love to come back to St. Louis to visit family, and to play the Missouri Bluffs golf course. It's one of the most balanced and beautiful courses in the area. GolfNow offers a great discount to the call-up rate and it served me well for this round. During a call to the course, I did ask them about any relaxed dress code rules for the winter, and was told that there was no change, and that denim was not allowed. I had not prepared for this when packing, and went out to the local Nike store to buy some clothes and informed the others in my party. When we arrived at the course, there were multiple people allowed on the course wearing denim and without collars. In addition, our two riding carts, as well as many others I saw were missing the simple GPS sensors that the Bluffs provides... but still hard to beat for $27/person for twilight.

Take all of this into account when reading this review: I was the first one out (2.5 hours for the round), got a great price since I was a single and booked through Golfnow, and it was the fall/winter when I played.
Great course, wide open and all off the par 3's are downhill. So when you look at the yardage on the card, don't get scared of the length of the par 3's. I thought the course was in great shape and the greens were in perfect condition. The bunkers and rough around the greens were in great shape, the pin placements were not too terribly tough, and tee boxes were level. My review may be biased a bit since my last memory of the course was an eagle on the final hole but I know that I will play this course again. I normally play courses around hwys 270 & 55 and along hwy 255 in IL so I usually don't get out to Chesterfield but this is now in the rotation. I would like to see this course in the summer months with the zoysia fairways or in the fall with the trees changing colors. Great views from the tee box and from the fairways to the greens.
In short, I was very impressed with the Bluffs and I am going to keep this course in my rotation.

This is one of the best courses in St. Louis, and for the money, this is the best course in St. Louis.

Course is in good shape for November. I played as a single and finished in 2 hours flat. Greens rolled true, fairways in good shape, grasses are dormant so ball rolls farther than in summer. My only complaint is that this time of year they really need to get (or use if they have one) a blower to blow the leaves off of the fairways and greens. With all of the trees that are on this course (and that is a plus) it's easy to loose a ball in the rough or even the fairway!

Don't believe them when they tell you it's in great shape. They won't tell the true conditions and if they are poor they woont refund any money. I would never pay full price to play there.

The zoysia fairways were in the dormant stage at this time of year but did not pose any problems. The greens were in excellent shape and well maintained for this late into the season.

The Bluffs is always a good choice for a golf outing. Typically good conditions, and a great course layout. The greens are a little bumpy typically, but nothing too bad. Great driving range as well as the chipping and putting area is nicely laid out.

Very pretty, wet after previous rain, traps held some water, nice course.

Great layout, no houses. Almost always in great shape. Need to be a senior or find great rate on Golf Now to make it affordable. Best driving range in town.

Great golf course, fast greens, many tees available for all levels of play.
