Excellent course with speedy play

Ruth Park is a bargain as the course is well maintained and plays quickly. A great course for beginners since there is no water and little sand. My kids loved it and wanted to play another 9!

NIce, quiet round of golf

Simple to play course. Not a huge amount of hazards so very easy for a beginner to play. Very quiet during the day so not having to worry about holding others up, and being held up.

Perfect place to get 9 holes in quickly

Best 9 hole course in the area. Something happened to parts of the 7th and 9th Fairways but the staff is working on getting it back in shape.

Pretty good course for the price, fun to go to every now and than for a quick round

A good course. The holes are all relatively easy but if you are looking to go out with a friend and just have a good time than its a good course. Generally the pace is about 1.5-2 hours for 9 holes depending on how many people are out. I have finished 9 in about 70 minutes when it was just me. There are no sandtraps on the course, but the course is well enough maintained that it is still fun.

Challenging for a muni

got off on time and managed to keep up pace even though the course was very busy tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent condition narrow fairways are offset by a couple of wide open, but long holes greens can be tricky

Good practice course

I went out and played nine holes on a Sunday evening and the course was packed. Easier course that has large fairways. The greens are challenging. I would consider it a good course to play to work the different aspects of your game, especially for beginner golfers.

Great course for the price!!!

I'm a 17 year-old who shoots in the mid 80s and I enjoyed this course. I was shocked at how cheap it was, and it was in pretty good condition. The only con is that they load up on the tee times so expect to wait on a few tee boxes unless other golfers let you play through. Other than that, it was a great course!!

This is a great little 9 hole Muni course. I've played here a bunch when I'm looking to get a quick nine in. They re-did the cart paths and really have improved the conditions overall since last year.

I usually get out before work and can walk this course in an hour and a half, and for $8 from GolfNow its a great deal!

Good course to tune your game.

This 9-hole course provide the perfect venue to walk or ride. The course is easy to get around with peak and valleys to help solidify your iron game.

Excellent time, I've played there before and have always enjoyed it. One note it is a 9 hole course, not 18 as in the survey.

Nice course, very convenient location. Always a pleasant experience.

An overall very good experience.

My son and I played nine holes at Ruth Park on May 8 and it was a very good experience. The course was in very good shape and we finished in less than two hours.
The only negative came when we checked in and the person at the front desk said we owed $8. I explained that I booked the tee time at GolfNow and that it was paid in full on my credit card. He expressed confusion and perhaps anger that what he received on his computer was not consistent with what I showed him on my receipt. I did not have to pay the extra $8 and we moved to the tee box, where we went off on time. Afterward, the staff was very cordial and responsive. The food was good and the service was excellent. We will be back.

Love my local 9.

Ruth Park always seems to have their greens ready for play early in the year. Course is a mix of easy and moderate par 4's including 2 blind tee shots, plenty of slope, some narrow fairways and a few dog legs. Course can get slow on the weekends, but weekday afternoons are usually pretty good pace. They've put a lot of work into the course the past few years and its really starting to show.

A Great 9 Holes

Ruth is one of the best kept secrets in St. Louis.

Not only does Ruth Park have the cheapest range ball prices in the entire St. Louis area, they also clearly take pride in maintenance of their course year round.

The course isn't overly challenging, especially if you can keep your drives on the left side of each fairway. That's not to say that it's not a fun course, though.

The rates are reasonable and I have never had a problem with any of the staff.
