Spencer T. Olin Golf Course

Greens were chewed up , possibly from weekend scramble (??). The course was in pretty good shape otherwise , considering the lack of rain . The course was not crowded . We didn’t realize the humidity was coming , and it was staggering !
The greens were soft, and held really well .

Love this course the tees,fairways and greens immaculate condition! It sets up for somebody that hits a fade on most holes. Another good thing about this course it drains better than any other course in the area after rain.

I have been playing this golf course off and on since 1990. It just seems to get better with age. Not much rain in the St. Louis area over the last couple of months, but not a blade of grass out of place. Tees, fairways, greens, and bunkers are superb!
Has always been a wonderful layout. Difficult, but very fair. Incredible test of golf!
Mary and her staff are to be commended for keeping this jewel, a destination for all golfers.

This is a Big Boy golf course and you better bring an A game. Tough but fair and in country club condition. Deep green side bunkering unusual for a fee course. Fairways are well defined but also have fairly punitive bunkers. No Mickey Mouse gimmicky holes-just straightforward and demanding. This is the site of many USGA qualifiers and state/regional competitions

This course has great fairways and greens
Even in this current drought

Really enjoyed the layout of this course. It was in pretty good shape. We were cart path only due to rain and finished under 4.25 which was pretty good

The blonde lady at the pro shop and also helping in the bar area was extremely rude. On two separate occasions throughout the day she seemed annoyed to help us rolling her eyes and talking about us to the staff right in front of our faces. This was very off putting as my husband and I are polite and happy people. She was not! If you don’t like people maybe customer service is not for you.
Course was in good condition. A little soggy but it had rained the day before and it was busy and cart path only so pace of play was slower.
Overall tho, would not come back solely due to the staff rudeness.

I would definitely call Spencer T. Olin a must-play course in the greater St. Louis area, especially for those on a budget! One of the few Arnold Palmer designed courses in the area (if the only one!), and it does not disappoint! It's not country club conditions, but it's in great shape for a muni, and the layout is creative and unique and a challenge around every turn! No GPS on the carts, but bring your favorite phone app and your rangefinder and you'll be fine! The staff in the Pro Shop and the Cafe were very friendly and accommodating! Looking forward to my next round here!

Spencer T. Olin has always been in my top 3 courses in the St. Louis metro area, along with Annbriar & Far Oaks. However, with a weekend rate of $54, nothing compares to this value and the quality of course you are playing. No one comes close to this.

I thought Spencer T. Olin was in the best shape I've ever seen it. The fairways were a little firm giving you some extra roll. The 13th fairway still has its drainage issues.

Many other courses should take note of how a starter should be doing his job. The starter actually thanked us for coming out and playing. Wow! He even showed up on hole 12 and asked us how the pace of play was going. Pace of play was good. It always slows down a bit on the more difficult holes on the front (holes 3 & 7).

Get out and play Spencer T. Olin. What a bargain for the course you are getting.

Great course for the price can not go wrong. Only thing is didn’t have Arnold palmers (no tea) being Arnold Palmer built course need to always have his drink!

Staff in the golf shop and the restaurant were great! Friendly attentive quick to respond to any need we had. We had such a great time we played 36
