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.

The course is very well kept

i really enjoyed this couse. Very cool views and holes. Greens were in excellent condition, as well as the fairways and tee boxes. Carts were good and clean as well. Will definitely come back.

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.

Neat course with potential

Great scenery and friendly service. Greens were fairly simple but in 4/5 condition. Not a walkable course. Fairways, tee boxes, and rough were in poor to average condition. Many narrow landing zones or average width fairway but little rough before out of bounds, so driver is often not the best choice off the tee even on longer holes.

Far better than expected.

I didn’t know what to expect playing this course for my first time. It was in fantastic condition, especially in mid October.

They even had a morning tournament and condition was still fantastic.

Inside the historic Club House looked newly renovated. Food was great. Staff was awesome. We felt welcomed and even fellow golfers were incredibly nice and polite.

My son and I both had a great round. We’ll be back soon.

One of my favorites now.

First off, front desk staff named Scott was a very nice gentleman that was telling us details about the course, very polite. The course is a great condition and affordable for a fun round of golf. Have played multiple rounds on the course even brought out a few buddies and they loved the course. Scenic view around the golf course going up hills which includes a variety of holes. Lastly, the owner Sorkis was engaging with his staff and the players of the course. All around just a good guy.

Sugar Creek - Excellent Course

My buddy and I have been going to this course for a couple months and we enjoy so much that when we play with friends we say we have “Home Field Advantage.” We’ve met many staff members who have been welcoming and given us deals for coming so much. The course is very scenic in my opinion which is my main reason for having a liking towards it. This is definitely a course I am going to keep playing at because of the variety it has with the way the different holes are.

Better than expected

A few years ago this course had been allowed to run down, so I quit going. It’s probably been 7-8 years.
I had the opportunity to play recently (Sept 2023) and was impressed with the course conditions. The layout hasn’t changed and the back nine was narrower than I remember. All in all, a good value and I won’t wait so long to play there again!

Sugar Creek on the Rise

Played this course for the first time in 2 years and it’s noticeable how hard the staff has worked on making improvements. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in much better condition and well maintained. While there are still places on the cart path that need attended to, it’s obvious cart path improvement has been a focus. Most importantly, the owner himself was mowing a fairway and stopped to talk to my playing partner and I to go out of his way to thank us for our support and business. You could tell he is a nice person who is dedicated to improving the course and he acknowledged there is still work to be done. He encouraged me to write an honest review while giving me his personal card to contact him directly the next time I want to play here. Customer service like this goes a long way. I’ll definitely keep Sugar Creek in my regular rotation of places I’m proud to play.

Great Course

The owners have done a fantastic job bringing this course back to life and is now one of the best in the St. Louis area. Greens and fairways are in great shape and they are actively redoing the cart paths. For the price you can’t beat it.

Great views and good grass

Definitely not a beginner course, have only played pheasant run before and it was quite a step up. Besides that the course is well maintained and has some great views. A lot of elevation and narrow fairways but overall really beautiful course. Got pretty backed up, tee time was 3:40, got to 18 at around 8:15 as a two man. I shot 36 over, buddy shot 19 over.
