Far Oaks Golf Club in Caseyville has a unique layout with a front nine that is designed in a Scottish-links style and a back nine that plays through rolling woodlands. The links holes are framed with native prairie grasses and wildflowers while mature oak trees line the fairways on the back nine. There are plenty of elevation changes throughout the golf course, making it hard to find a flat lie. Mounding and strategically placed bunkers lurk treacherously along the greensides and there are also several holes with water. Far Oaks Golf Club is a challenging course that demands accuracy, which is most apparent on the 10th hole. Although it's not the longest par 4 on the course, it is still challenging thanks to a slew of bunkers that border both sides of the green.

Nice Course Really Overpriced

We really enjoyed the course but it was awfully expensive we thought. Yes again a nice course but this part of the country not use to paying $62.00 for 18. The Bar is also really expensive.
Thanks

Ok if you get a good rate

It’s a nice layout but poorly maintained. At least half the bunkers are in total disrepair. Pace of play was mercilessly slow….5 hours for 18 holes.

Winter Golf = Hibernation

Condition is poor not just for winter. No tee box markers were out. Looks like bunkers haven’t been raked since November. I understand that in the winter you may not have the most ideal conditions and course maintenance, but please put out tee box markers and prep the course, especially when tee times are booked and it’s 65 degrees. No water on course as well. maybe they don’t hire enough staff during the winter months because it’s usually too cold. But anyone can fill a water cooler, place teebox markers.

Bunkers are still under repair but the course is gorgeous and is really enjoyable to play. I also shot the best round i have in the last 2 years. #17 and a par 4 a couple holes before are totally drivable as well. Just gotta hit blindly over the trees

Play at Far Oaks

Thought I payed on GolfNow, but was told I did not.
Golf course was in good condition. Looks like they cleared some trees out from last year. Staff, as always was great. Cart girl was outstanding.

Great Course

Played in November so fallen leaves were a big issue some holes couldn’t even find ball in fairway. Greens were recently aerated so don’t know the true feel of the greens. Layout is challenging but fun. Not many holes require using a driver, Lots of nice houses to gaze at while playing. Definitely will be back.
