Ruth Park Golf Club

A quick 9 holes for a great value. Greens and fairways are well maintained and the price can't be beat.

Pros: Can't beat the price (paid $19 to ride 9).
The course is in very good shape.

Con: The course was very slow. I took 2.5 hours to finish the 9 holes. It was July 3rd when we played and everywhere I was looking to play was booked up so I wasn't really surprised.

The course is in amazing condition considering the storm damage a couple of months ago. However really basic amenities are missing. There was no water jugs on the course where they should have been. The only waterfountain is out of order. This is the really basic things you expect on a hot summer day. Some of the distance markers were missing. This course just keeps getting less and less care.

This golf course is super under rated. To say the least, the staff was every excellent. They even let my 6 year old ride in the cart with us. They will get my business from now on. Keep up the good work guys.

When I played on Friday afternoon the putting greens were slow. Maybe the grass was ready to be cut. On the next day, Saturday, the greens seemed faster. I was paired with a group of three people, two women and a man. Two of those people were clueless about golf etiquette. The man was instructing one woman in Korean as she swung. I don't know what he was telling her but it couldn't have been good. He was clueless himself.

Only played here because a female golfer and myself wanted to play a quick 9 and it was right down the street. I booked on golf now for 10$ each with cart and when I got there they said that deal doesn't exist.. Well that's the only reason I booked it. As we were standing in te 30min line the guy came out and asked for me to pay more because his boss was making him after he said he would honor it.. Half the people walk here so we were behind 3 groups. You can find a much better deal for 18 and at a course actually deserves your business.. Literally go anywhere else. Also watch out for balls coming at you from the driving range on 3 of the 9 holes.. Waste of time

You can't ask for a better value if you want to get a friendly round in. The course is well maintained and the staff is always friendly. I'd recommend Ruth Park to any and all my friends, from beginners to experts. Just a fun and delightful place to play.

We got rained out after three holes. Course is in good shape. I will be back soon.

Course was in good shape, but they absolutely packed it to the gills, took us 3 hours to play nine holes. Also, the price I reserved on GN was $10, and shame on me for not realizing that was walking only. The guy in the pro shop was kind of a jerk, said something like "you only paid GolfNow a fee for the chance to play here, you have to pay me $18", while someone being helpful would have said "the $10 is fine if you want to walk, or you can add $8 for a cart fee".

Love it this St. Louis Jewel.

Not too challenging, but still fun to play.

Very nice course. Also long for a 9 hole course. Good place with range and course.

pared up with friendly people--driving range-easy to get to central location

Shingles and tree debris all over the course from a tornado that hit 2 weeks prior. It needs to be cleaned up.

I believe a tornado hit the course on or about 3/28, but they've done an amazing job putting things back together. Several trees had to be cut down, especially on hole 5 where local neighborhood houses had blue tarps on the roofs, and the tornado just demolished some of the trees (giant 6 foot diameter oaks reduced to splinters). On hole 4 (par three), they had to put a temporary green on the approach.

for the money, this course is the best in STL... well maintained, inexpensive, and friendly people.

I usually play this course due to proximity and value. I am grateful to have a well kept course to practice my skills. I would like to walk 9 holes in 2 hrs or less, but that is not always the case. If play is slow, I usually play two balls and just enjoy the practice time. If you take it for what it is (beginner's course, easy, accessible, affordable), you will better enjoy yourself. I play a lot, but I still prefer playing out here and look forward to the club championship this fall.

This course seems to always be in good condition, even in the cold months. A little hilly but easily walkable. Nice course and a great deal for a quick nine holes.

Good practice course..up keep is good the green in good condition.

Course condition was good.
Green fee was nice, but the cart fee was pretty high.
There was a group of 6 playing 2 holes in front of us. They were very very slow. Other players were single or two-some... and this big group was holding everyone without offering "play thru"...

My tee time was 12:40. I didn't tee off until around 1:00. The two groups in front of me held up the entire course. There was a twosome that looked like they had never played before followed by a slow walking foursome that played at a very deliberate pace and took around 10 minutes to putt on each green. The twosome only lasted through the second hole but the foursome played slow the whole day. There was a Marshall but he never did anything to address the slow play. When I got to the fifth green I could see wholes 7-9 wide open and holes 2-4 behind me wer jam packed. The last 4 times I have been to this course on the weekend I have had to wait at least 10 minutes after my tee time to tee off.
