Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

Course needs some work overall but still nice and a pretty location with great natural hills. Lots of abandoned structures around the course that are kind of weird. The cart paths are abysmal and a safety hazard at best.

Pace of play was horrible. They let foursomes on the course that were late and it was more waiting than playing.. super rude and annoying.

Overall I am hoping the new ownership can continue to improve this course that was neglected for years and bring it back.

As per usual Oak Valley over books it's tee times.

It took 2 hours & 45 minutes to play the front 9. And because of the length of time we had to leave without finishing all 18 holes.

I even asked when I first checked in and the man working there said everything was moving along at a good pace. If that is what they call a good pace they should discontinue working at a golf course.

No Marshall to regulate slow groups.

Crab grass on every green causes your ball to change direction.

We got a hot deal on golf now for $46. A golfer. And that's still to high for the conditions. I'm not sure i would pay $35. The Fairways are terrible, the greens have crab grass and the pace of play is the worst in the state of Missouri & Illinois.

0 stars probably a true rating

Course in horrible shape and only got to play 9 of 18 holes because of pace of play. Waited 10 min on every shot

This course has a scorable front 9 with an unforgiving back 9. It’s come a long way as far as conditions; nothings immaculate however it’s still ideal for a scenic round. 7/10 overall

Nice course but the cart paths are horrible. We could use some rain but most of the greens were fine as were the fairways but a few were browning our in areas. We enjoyed the day

This course cost about $52, the fairways are hard, a lot of dirt patches all over, and cart path is terrible. Definitely other courses out there that are cheaper and better

Nice course for the price. A few fairways had some work being done., otherwise course was in decent shape. Greens were consistent , course plays fair . It is somewhat hilly, which I did not mind. Will definitely play there again and would recommend to anyone (especially for the GolfNow hot deal price).

Greens always in good shape. Get a great warm up with an open and forgiving front nine before proceeding to a more challenging back 9. Brand new golf carts, bathrooms and water coolers around the holes are perfectly spaced out. Pace of play has always been good. Cart paths are a bit bumpy in spots, whatever. Legit 5$ burger to get on the turn as well. Staff is always super friendly. All the negative reviews on here sound like people think they should be playing at some mystical grassland course for 45$

Very enjoyable, some of the greens needed some work but overall it was really nice! I will definitely be back!

Wanted to play this course for a while now and finally took the time for the almost one hour drive. I had heard good things but was disappointed with the course. The front nine is fairly open and manageable but the back nine is very narrow with sloping fairways and minimal forgiveness. Tee boxes were in nice shape. Greens were “furry”. Fairways were disappointing - given the amount of rain we’ve had in the area they were not in great shape. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference between the fairway and the hard, rutted transition to the cart paths. The cart paths switched between exceptionally rough pavement and gravel.

There are plenty of other options in the St. Louis area that are better at a similar cost. If you live near Pevely then you have a decent course close by but not worth the drive if you live north of Arnold.

Positives: staff and fellow golfers were nice. Golf carts were in good condition and a course book was provided along with pin placement maps on the scorecard.

Course is in decent condition, some fairways need some work, but you can tell they're putting money into it, greens are in good shape. Really nice layout
