Decent Greens but that's about it

The course is not in great shape. The greens were decent and rolled well but they were rock hard. Even with a short iron or wedge in, balls would not stay on the green and barely made a ball mark. Plus, the collars were like concrete.

The tee boxes were horrible and was difficult to get a tee into the ground. The fairways are a mix of green grass and dormant yellow which led to some really uneven lies, even in the center of the fairway.

Not sure what was being done on the fifth tee box but the hole has been shortened to about 260 yards dead straight instead of a 90-degree dogleg left layout. Was busy with a lot of waiting before each shot.

The course is fun and hardly has any water in play but doubt I will play this course again in the near future. Maybe again in the fall.

Nice

I haven’t played this course in many years but was reminded with this round of why I’ve played here before. The layout is great and the greens were great very fast. The fairways aren’t quite grown in completely yet but they weren’t too bad. The tee boxes are pretty much in the same boat.

Long narrow road to get there

The course was in decent shape. The Tee Boxes could definately use some work. The were not well defined and the grass was spotty at best. The greens were in great condition and the fairways were average. It might because its the being of the season (or not). I feel if you hit the fairway you should not be punished. The ruff was thick and challenging. I did not encounter any difficult players on the course and the pace of play was just fine, but I was there early before most of the crouds. Overall I enjoyed the view and it was definately in horse country. On the back 9 I got lost at hole number 12, the path was not marked well and drove into a neigborhood. Oops. Overall an OK course. I would play again for the views. One warning the road to get there was very interesting to say the least. Be safe and enjoy!!

Poorly run

If there was grass on the tees I couldn't find it. Half the fairway was dead and gone. We dealt with a 5-some teeing off in front of us (a 2-some) and literally waited 20 minutes just to tee off. After that our pace of play continued to ge an absolute crawl.

Greens in good shape, fairways starting to show a little green.

I always enjoy this course. Fun holes and open to a few miss hits and you can still play your ball. Great staff.

Waited 20 minutes after tee time to tee off. People were playing fivesomes and even sixsomes and no one cared. Only got to play 9 holes in THREE hours. I’ve loved this course in the past, but they need to figure something out.

Great Pace

Front 9 played nice pace, few rough patches to be expected with the time of year. Back 9 was in better condition than front. Always a fun course with a great staff. They actually have Natty Light on hand! Another plus.

Winter shape

The course is in “ok” shape. It’s winter conditions, but not bad. The greens were a little bumpy and hard to figure out.

Cart path only makes it a little tougher, but it’s going to be a little while before we’re out on it.

They are improving the clubhouse. The men’s room has been redone and looking very nice.

Never improves. $16 extra cart fee!

This this the last time I will play her. The greens and tee boxes are the worst in St. Louis. Haven’t improved in the last three years I have been playing here. What was most upsetting was the $16 extra cart fee. I don’t pay that wen I pay $75 a round! Won’t be back
