One of StL best public courses
Great layout of 27 holes. Good golf, good food, & good Staff. 👍
Fun Golf in St Louis
Tapawingo is a really fun and challenging course. You won’t be disappointed if you schedule a tee time there. They have great food as well. We even had my sons wedding reception there.
Tapawingo is a great place to play
We had the second tee time out and didn’t wait on any tee boxes. It had just rained the night before so it was a little sloppy on the Woodlands nine, but by the time we hit the Meramac nine it was perfect. Greens were in great shape this early in the season and so were the fairways. It’s a good value as the nines are different but the course is always in great shape.
COURSE AMENITIES IGNORED
The tee-boxes, greens, and course is average however it's the beginning of May and they have "no ball washers" no water on the course" and no refreshments or cart girls on the course.
My foursome and I were thirsty enough on the front nine and with group behind us we didn't want to go in the clubhouse and get refreshments and mess up our place in line for the back nine.
We proceeded to the back nine and by the time we got to hole #18 we were all so doggone thirsty that we came in the club-house and each of us ordered (2) drinks each!
Since the course has (4) nine hole courses the "clubhouse" gets to choose which of the (2) nine hole courses you get to play and only when you get there! You cannot choose the courses you want to play at anytime! You may get lucky and get to play the 2 courses you want however in most cases the clubhouse tells you what 2 you will play.
Each one in our foursome agreed that this course will certainly not be one of our first choices when looking to play...........
Good course becoming bad course
Used to be in excellent shape but last three times I played there it appears as it's getting worse and worse each time I go back.Greens in really bad shape,overgrown tees are some of the issues.Looks like it's been neglected for the last two months.
Again, used to be one of my favorite courses and always in reality good shape, not sure what's happening lately. They don't quite charge like some of the best course around here but still too high for the conditions.
challenging course
course is in great shape. Fast and undulating greens. Challenging but fair course. Consistent quality over the years
Played Meramec/Praries courses
Tapawingo is a nice course that has a semi-private vibe to it. Hadn’t visited there in a while and played on the Meramec/Prairie courses. The staff was very welcoming.
Overall, the course is in good shape but there are a few places that the grass was bare. A few tee boxes were thin, but most were lush. The fairways were nice but on a couple of collars on greens, they had to put down sod and it hasn’t grown in. There were a number of seams on the edges of greens.
The greens themselves were decent while a few had bare patches. The bunkers were terrible and either had little sand or were just mud. For such a high-end course, I would have expected better conditions. Not sure why so many fairways were cart-path only as it has been pretty dry.
I think if you wait a few weeks, the conditions will be much improved and more worthy of the price.
Good spring conditions
Another great experience at Tapawingo. Course conditions were good overall, but some of the greens were slower than others due to fall overseeding last year. Aside from speed issue, putts rolled true. Green surrounds and collars in good shape, with some undergoing transplants/sod.
Staff was friendly and helpful, especially the starter and cart guys. Food at the clubhouse is very good, made quickly and fresh. Best breakfast sandwich in STL.
Highly recommend Tapawingo.
