Sugar Creek Golf Course offers some of the best scenery of any course in the St. Louis area. Golfers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the course's elevated tees. The course opened in 1990 with several improvements made in the following years. The layout is a manageable length at just under 6,100 yards. It is player-friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence but there are also challenges in store for more advanced players. Water only comes into play on one hole but there are stands of trees lining the narrow fairways. The golf course will generously reward accuracy and good strategy though it is not overly punishing if you are slightly errant. In addition to the course, Sugar Creek G.C. also boasts an expansive practice range with 35 hitting stations.

Very friendly staff and good course

I've played a Sugar Creek quite a few times and the staff is always very friendly and professional. The course was in green condition, especially the fairways. It's great course for a great price!

Amazing course with lots of character

Sugar Creek Golf Course in Highridge, Missouri, is an absolute gem. The manicured greens and fairways create a picturesque backdrop for a round of golf. Hole number eight has such an elevated tee that you can see the STL downtown skyline/ Arch 25 miles away. The course layout offers a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment, catering to both seasoned golfers and those new to the game. The friendly and accommodating staff (Nick, Grant, Mike, Britney, and “lil” Grant) enhance the overall experience, making every visit a memorable one. From the well-maintained facilities to the breathtaking views, Sugar Creek Golf Course has holes with unique character that stand out as a must-visit destination for golf enthusiasts. Also, I would have to say, compared to 10 years ago, this is the best turnaround and improved course that I’ve played in St. Louis with new golf carts, improved cart paths, better landscaped Fairways, tee boxes, and greens.

Beautiful corse

Gorgeous course with IMENSE elevation changes both uphill and downhill. Bunkers were closed for not affecting us whatsoever. I played the worst round of my life and still enjoyed the way this course lays out. Several challenging blind dog legs, blind hills and just challenging decisions made on the course.

Five hours

Nice golf course, pace of play sucks they need Marshalls. When I’m waiting at the Teebox over5 minutes while people are trying to find the balls and looking for balls in the woods instead of playing golf. It is ridiculous. You can do anything you want to make it a beautiful golf course but if you allowed that kind of play, close it down.

Great Course

Played here 15 years ago and cant believe how improved the course is. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Great pace of play on a Sunday with perfect golf weather. Will definitely play here more often now. Back nine reminds me of the Ozarks.
