Played On 09/26/2019Nice course
Played here many times, I drive out from St. Louis. Excellent all around. Nice challenging layout. Course is in great condition.
Mystic Oak Golf Course
Played On 09/05/2019Great course
Course was in good shape. Nice greens. The course layout is perfect, challenging but not overly difficult. I play to a 9 handicap and use the white tees (about 6,000 yards here). Love the course and will be back.
Orchards Golf Course
Played On 11/03/2018Orchards Review
Very nice course, great layout of the holes. The white tees are plenty long even though the card lists the yardage as 5,841 yards. No. 18 is a beast, 565 yard par 5 dogleg right with narrow, tree lined fairway. The fairways were very nice, the ball sat up nice even after the zoysia grass has turned yellow and gone dormant. Minor thing, but I didn't like the markers in the tee boxes, faded paint which made it hard to differentiate the colors. BUT NOW FOR MY MAIN COMPLAINT--THE GREENS. The greens a bad, very thin and infested with crab grass. Never mad a long put all day, but didn't expect to. I imagine the greens were even worse during the heat of summer. If I learn that the greens problem is corrected next season, I'll be back, otherwise I will wait another season or two and see what happens. Not worth the 30 mile drive to me to play on greens like I would expect on any municipal course anywhere in the area. Too bad, the course is so nice it deserves good putting greens.
The Prairies of Cahokia Golf Course
Played On 09/13/2018Enjoyable day
I enjoyed the course very much. The greens were soft and holding shots and very nice to putt on, balls rolled true. The putting green grass was a little long, but were fine. The fairways were in good shape, the rough was very rough. There was a recent heavy rain, over seven inches and the course was flooded in parts and is still recovering since it was cart-path only today, which made for some extra walking. This is not an easy golf course (I played from the second to back tees) and requires some accuracy on a lot of the holes because of the water and rough/trees. I'll be back again before the show flies.
Quail Creek Golf Course
Played On 09/11/2018Another nice day at Quail Creek
This course is a great value. I live nearby and try to play here every week. The fairways have come in nicely and the greens are great, putting true and holding approach shots. Hopefully, in the future, they repair the bunkers--not only by adding sand but putting in some drainage pipes. The bunkers are my only complaint about this course. Over all, though, this is a very nice golf course.
Annbriar Golf Course
Played On 08/06/2018Another perfect Annbriar day
All was good--greens, fairways, sand, tee boxes. Just a great place to play golf.
Quail Creek Golf Course
Played On 08/02/2018Great Day
The course is in great condition, greens, fairways and tee boxes. Recent rains have helped keep the course green. The greens were in very good condition, were soft and held shots and putted truly. I broke 80 for the first time this summer (four birdies) and attribute that to the nice conditions. I will continue playing this well designed and challenging course that is almost in my backyard.
Quail Creek Golf Course
Played On 07/19/2018Gettin' better!
I play Quail Creek on a regular basis, at least once or twice a month. In 2018 I am seeing improvements everytime I play here. This course has a great layout and is very challenging. Not being a native St. Louisan, I don't know the history of this course but older guys tell me it used to be really wonderful when it was new (years ago). I have played it for about six or seven years and have seen it in terrible condition but last year and this year I have seen great improvements in the greens , the fairways and the overall maintenance. There is a long way to go, but the staff is obviously trying . There is a lot of work yet to be done on the traps and the cart paths (hold on to your kidneys in some areas.}. I like this course and will continue to keep playing here. I think the greens fees are a little steep for what you get, but, the layout is what I like about the course (and it's a short drive from my house} and I'll keep playing it.
Annbriar Golf Course
Played On 07/09/2018Another perfect golf day at Ann Briar
A hot and humid day can't detract from the joy of playing this golf course. The fairways were lush and mowed just right and the greens were perfect, holding our shots and putting very true and fast. I try to play here as often as possible (probably once per month) and every time it's a great experience. Play Ann Briar and you won't be disappointed.
Cuba Lakes Golf Club
Played On 04/30/2018A little gem
Don't let the short length of this nine hole course deter you from playing here. I went around twice, using different tees and had a great time. The course is nicely layed out with challenging holes including water and sand and narrow fairways on a rolling layout.It was plenty long enough for me. I'm a 16 handicap, almost always break 90, wherever I play. The greens were green and putted well and were in good shape. It looked like aeration occurred a couple of weeks ago. The fairways were still greening up on this late- to- happen spring (I played here on the 30th of April. I really like this course and will return here at least once this summer. Play here--you will like it.
Quail Creek Golf Course
Played On 10/26/2017Late season golf
Perfect late October golf day, 76 degrees and blue sky. The zoysia grass fairways were still green (but not for long as freezing weather is forecast tonight) and the greens were great. The bunkers were all nicely raked and the fairways mowed. This course is a really nice tract. I always enjoy playing here and the price is right
Emerald Greens Golf Course
Played On 08/23/2016Hidden gem
I had never played here before and am really happy that I did today. I'm a good golfer, 66 years old and played from the second longest tees, the whites. I shot a 78 and was very pleased (except for not adapting to the slow greens; I left a lot of putts short. The course has a great layout, makes you think before hitting many shots (target golf) and is very scenic. The front nine and back nine are totally different; the front is woodsy and hilly and the back is more open and rolling. Both present a challenge. The price was right and was a great value for this course. Put this course on your bucket list and play it. It's great.
Thank you for the 5 Star Review!!! We are happy you gave us a shot and we hope you will return!
Sullivan Golf Club
Played On 08/04/2016Nice course-Good value
I play here about once or twice a month, during the week. The weather has been unusually wet all summer and drainage of the bunkers is a problem, many of them retaining water. Other than that, with the ten inches of rain that fell in the last week, the course drained well and was not muddy or soggy. The course is never crowded and pace of play is fast.The greens are always in good shape with very few unrepaired ball marks. Putting is a pleasure here. From the black (back) tees, the course is quite challenging and from the gold (next up) the course is fun, but still a challenge. I alternate black/gold just for the sake of variety and to use different clubs and strategy. The course is blessed with a lot of beautiful old, trees and the course is well designed, an out, and out-and-back type course and is very walkable. It is usually a short distance from one green to the next tee. For a long hitter, the course is probably rather easy, but for me, as a senior and hitting my average drives 215 to 220, the course gives me a good challenge. I recommend this course.
Manteno Golf Club
Played On 07/25/2016Great course
I had never played this course before and was not expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised at this very nice tract. I had the course to myself and played 18 in 3.5 hours. Although a flat course, it was still fun, with some trees and bunkers to add to the challenge. The greens were were in great shape and putted true. The bluegrass fairways were in good shape but did need a mowing the day I played though. There is a convenient driving range next to the parking lot and a nice practice putting green outside the clubhouse. I recommend this course and I will be returning here to play again. I played using a Golfnow Hot Deal ($10 for 18 holes including cart!) so my experience was extra good.
Quail Creek Golf Course
Played On 06/21/2016Nice layout but poor conditions tee to green, but greens ok.
Shot 83 playing here for the first time with a Golfnow $18 hot deal which was for 18 holes including a cart. Fantastic because regular senior daily rate is $34. The course was worth every penny of $18 deal but $34 is pretty steep for this rough tract. A regular walk-in price of about $22 might be more appropriate. Our threesome teed off on time and played in just under four hours. No waiting. It was a cloudy day with rain in the forecast but it never did rain so that forecast probably scared off a lot of golfers. The terrain is moderately hilly with nice elevation changes. The front nine is challenging but the back nine is even more challenging.The greens were in decent shape and held good approach shots but were pretty slow. Fairways were thin on grass and needed water but the rough was distinguishable from the fairway. Bunkers were full of weeds and grass making them unsightly although still playable. A greens keeper could spend one day spraying Roundup herbicide in all the bunkers and that would clear out the weeds and grass. The sand in the bunkers was playable/nice sand and all the bunkers were dry. I liked the course and will definitely return when I find another Golfnow Hot Deal here.

Paradise Valley Golf & Country Club
Played On 06/17/2016Great layout/nice greens/unmowed fairways
I played 18 holes from the tips on this beautifully golf course which is a good value for a public course. Lovely setting. It was a fun course to play and I'm glad I chose to play here today. I will return to play it again later this summer. The greens were in great shape but slow; I had a hard time adjusting to them, though. From the back tees it plays at about 6,100 yards. All that being said, one caveat: apparently there is a shortage of mowers for the bermuda grass fairways. I couldn't tell when looking down the fairway from the tee box where the fairways ended and the rough began. The bermuda grass seed stems were sticking up about two inches in the middle of the fairways, costing loss of roll out after ball lands and who knows what effect on shots from the fairway. The fairways would be fine if they were mowed more often. Maybe the bermuda grass is in some rapid growth cycle right now, but still, they need to mow more often. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt--maybe the mower guys were sick or didn't show up the last day or two. Golfers should not expect fairways to be what they normally play on. There are a lot of beautiful trees but not a lot bunkers nor much water. Holes 12 and 13 were a lot of fun with the high elevations. Just don't get lost trying to find number 12 tee like I did, LOL.
Hi,
