Woods Fort Golf Course

Open course with many blind shots. Layout is unlike any other in St. Louis. Greens are semifast that have unique undulations to the typical area course. Truly enjoyed playing... so much so we are going back in a few days. Only issue is the many "fresh" ball marks on the greens; may have been caused by the Womens High School tournament that played earlier in the day; Ladies - repair your ball marks.

We really enjoyed Woods Fort golf course. The tee boxes were immaculate and the fairways, despite all the rain, were in good shape. Greens were challenging but very nice.

We enjoyed are round at Woods Fort Golf Course and will definitely play there again!!

I've played several courses here in Missouri since moving here, and it's in my top 3. Well kept and inexpensive!

New ownership has turned thisAvergae Golf Course into a Wonderful Very Playable Course! Course, Conditions were Very Much improved since the last time I played here a couple of years ago. Greens are Very Nice, Roll Well and are in Great Shape. Try this Course you'll be glad you did.

Tee boxes are in great shape. Wr always enjoy playing here even though it is almost an hour ride from home.

In fine shape. Fairways and greens great!

I understand that it cost more to golf on the weekends but , the grass length should not interfere with your play.

Course was in great shape and very reasonably priced. Cousre is challenging especially if you have never played there due to a number of blind shots to greens guarded by ponds and bunker that you don't see.

Fairways were like playing off the cart path, need a Marshall on course, 5 hours is too long

The course was in very good shape. The fairways had recovered nicely from being striped, and the green rolled quick and true. Also a few layout changes were nice to see. The course isn't too difficult but still provides enough challenge to keep you from getting bored.

The course went through some major changes over the last year. For those of you who remember how bad it was will be pleasantly surprised how great it is now. The addition of a pond on #11 will definitely make you take pause in going for this par5 in two. The new tee box on #12 and the addition of another pond changes this hole from any easy par3 at 120 yards to a demanding tee shot from 165 yards. The zoysia fairways are starting to spread but it will take a little longer with a HOT summer. Bunkers have been redone, grass mounds have been added and approximately 900 new trees. Rumor has it that they will be adding another 500 trees to tighten the course up as well as, more bunkers and mounds to be added this winter. The greens were absolutely despicable last year but the superintendent has done a superior job in not only restoring them, but increasing the speed that will definitely make you take notice. Great job, keep up the good work and hit'em straight.

The course if pretty nice. Once all the new grass comes in I think it will be an extremely nice course. If there is one thing they need. It would be more marking as to where u are on each hole.

The course was under repair in several spots. One hole had a water hazard added but not reflected on scorecard or map. The greens (74%) were burned and bare in several spots. The fairway was under repair with zoysia strips mixed with crabgrass. On one hole the fairway was cut to show a dogleg right but the hole actually was straight out with a couple huge trees blocking view of green. Pace of play was good.

I have been twice this year and both time were very disappointing. The first time was the day they had their owner’s tournament and even then the course was in horrific shape, greens were burnt up and the fairway was almost as thick as the rough making your ball difficult to find even in the fairway. Also course management was hard as there were very few yardage markers. The second time you could tell they have spent some money on some improvements “ I would guess that started after the owners saw the course in the shape it was in”. This course has potential if they continue to work at it. I may revisit in 2 years or so.

They are trying to upgrade the course, but the front nine is basically unplayable and should be closed to play. The back nine is a little better. Course management is making a mistake by not leaving nine holes open to play while the other nine are being upgraded instead of trying to do the whole course at one time. They have no business trying to collect a full green fee given the condition of the course.

No sand in bunkers, greens had several dead spots. Fairways were under construction and several holes were closed for play.

The course was in very poor condition. Two holes were completely closed due to recently being striped with zoysia. Many other holes were also recently striped with zoysia but were open. This left the fairways uneven and in poor condition. The majority of the greens were also in terrible condition. Several greens had large areas that were bare. Putting was just up to how your ball bounced as it went through these areas. We paid $34 each to play this course on a Saturday morning. We felt as if we were paying full price to play a course that was in horrible condition. Had we known the condition of the course we would not have played there. We voiced our opinion at the clubhouse and for our threesome we were given one 9 hole raincheck that they said they would keep on file at the course. We were completely disappointed!

This review is based only on my last visit. Normally, this course is in average shape and a challenging course to play. Right now, they are striping the fairways with zoysia grass, which should make it great to play in the future, but right now it's a pain. I played Mon, Aug 5, and holes #4 and #5 were both closed as they were in the process of striping them with zoysia - could not use them at all. Hole numbers 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 and 18 have all been striped with zoysia, so they were cart path only and had to move your ball to avoid hitting on the zoysia. I'm sure there are more holes to be striped in the next couple weeks as well. Because of all that work, a lot of the rough has not been mowed and is super thick, and the stripes of grass in the fairways that are not zoysia are overgrown and lots of weeds until the zoysia takes over. Several of the greens (close to half) have either been burnt out or have some kind of disease on them and they are in horrible shape. The rest are all in good condition.
Overall, to charge full price at this course right now is not a fair value at all considering all the things you have to work around and play around. If you can get the Golf Now 12noon time for cheap it's worth it if you just want to hit the ball around, but other than that, not anywhere near the value to pay full price right now. Next year, if the zoysia comes through and starts taking over in the fairways and they can fix whatever problem they're having on some of the greens, it could be a great course to play.

Very well maintained, There was a few holes closed due to a previous storm that had rolled through, so to compenstate for that they allowed us to play a few extra holes. Not many courses will do that. Staff super nice and helpful, will come here again!

This is a fun course, right now they are redoing the fairways with new grass so some hole will be closed from time to time. The greens are burning and showing bare spots. They are doing a lot of improvements right now and can't wait to see the finished product. It looks like it will take a year or so for the grass to take hold but should be major improvement . Because of the repairs you can play this course in a little over two hours.
