Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

Greens in very good condition. Some fairways totally washed out. 13 best fairway. Good value.

This course is in terrible shape. They raised the price this year and it's in the worst shape in 25 years. I asked for a rain check for the back 9 since the coarse was almost unplayable on the front. The person at the counter said they would have them call me because they can't approve rain checks. 5 days later...no call. I understand it takes time to get it back in shape but there are no signs stating the shape of the course prior to paying your money. New ownership should be ashamed of themselves for this greed.

The course has lost most of the fairways, although the greens and rough were in decent shape. This course should be back in shape by next season as you can see the efforts to rebuild in action.

The fairways were horrible no grass except on three of them the greens were good

Greens in real good shape. Fairways are dead making it a waste of time and money. You can find plenty of $25 courses in much better shape. I usually play here multiple times a year, probably not this year.

Lots of construction going on and course is like a cow patch.

Course was under construction and no grass on any holes.

They should NOT have customers play on the field if the course is not ready to play. Too greedy to make money of people who doesn't know the course condition.

Hope no more people play on this course until they make the field ready for play. No more play on dirt!!

We discovered this track last year, and like the lay out, as well as the condition of the course. We played yesterday, and it appears that someone botched a chemical application to the course - most tee boxes and fairways are dead, and i don't think it is just a function of the grass not waking up for the Spring- - you can see the spray lines and there is dead and green grass along a straight line- - Looks like some great progress being done on the facilities- - the new owner is definitely investing some money. We were planning on making this a regular course for us, but will probably try it again in a month to see if they have been able to revive the course

The fairways were dead they are Bermuda which doesn’t work here in St. Louis needs to be changed

fairways and tee boxes need Mother Nature's help-water for players not out on course as of yet(sad emoji here), bunkers...well its been raining a lot and blah blah blah. This course has a great layout and great potential!

The newer owner has left the Walters Management group and seems to be putting much needed $ back into the course. There are new retaining walls going in on par 3's the restaurant and bar are being remodeled. If they airate fertilize the whole course including the rough this could be brought back as one of the better public courses In the St. Louis area

We just got 8 inches of rain last week and the farways show it but they should come back by late next month.

this course always has great promise-back in the day when the teamster money flowed in, this track was private and looked it. Great layout,quick greens and sand in many of the bunkers(inside joke)- but it was, at a time, well taken care of. Then the money began to dry up from the teamsters and it has now been sold.The new owner seems to be making many changes with the facility in general-not so much that can be seen on course, as of yet, but it is only February. Great Promise!

Oak Valley is the new name for the former Union Hills course in Pevely Mo. Being that the new management group just took over and the area got 3 + inches of rain over the weekend the course was in decent shape for this time of year.

I’ll try it again in another month.

We played on a warm day in January. It had just rained the night before. The course was a bit wet but played very well. The greens rolled nice and appeared to be in good shape for the most part especially for January. I am looking forward to coming back once things green up this spring and see what the course really plays like.

I have now played Union Hills 6 times in the past 9 months. This course has great potential. They need to address several sand traps that are lacking sand and the sand that they have is tightly packed, even in the summer. When I played this time, the greens were cut higher for winter play which made them considerably easier to putt. In the summer, their greens have been among the fastest I've played on public courses and they keep them pretty well maintained.

I know this course is off the beaten path but it's a challenging layout that has bettered me several times.

With public courses, I think St. Louis metro area has a top tier like Annbriar, Pevely Farms, Stone Wolf (and when it's not flooded) Tapawingo. along with Spencer T and a few others. Then there's the middle tier courses like Birch Creek (a true gem), Crescent Farms, The Orchards, Country Club of Wentzville and Forest Park to name a few. Then there's the courses you play when you're playing on a budget and among all those courses like Mystic Oaks, Normandie, Columbia Bridges and Sunset Hills, I would put Union Hills at the top of that list. Do a little more work on the course and it could easily rise to that middle tier. If you haven't tried this course, give it a shot (or several). It's more than worth it for the price you pay.

If you like rough and losing balls this is the course for you !

Greens were in great shape considering the time of year. Looked like they had been aerated recently but came back nicely. (BTW: Shot an 86 which is great for me.)

Based on reviews I seriously thought at was at the wrong course. Someone said it was good for the beginner golfer.....what!? I’m fine with tight tree lined fairways - that’s a great sign of a mature course. This place was clearly back in the day a destination, but the vibe has turned to something more “Camp Crystal Lake”. Fairways are beat. Fairways and tee boxes were like playing from the ruff on many holes. Steep up hills, side hills , tilted fairways that dogleg left and slope right, and blind shots all over the place. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE DRIVE FROM SCOTT AFB / BELLEVILLE AREA.
